The Jury was not required to weigh the evidence in a single civil case. Practically all of this term of ' court was taken up in the trial of the Winkler brothers for robbery and the Ted Terrell murder trial, although several other cases on the criminal docket were disposed of during the time that juries meditated over the evidence in these two cases.
