Note 5 — Chapter II · PASSES AND POLITICS.

In one case it appeared that a leading railroad attorney had been for years in the habit of supplying jurors with passes. Opposing counsel brought out the fact that all the jurors in the case on trial had accepted passes from the railroad company which was the defendant in the case, and that to have an equal chance for justice his client would have to give each juror $50 to offset the railroad gifts. The judge discharged the whole jury.
