Note 393 — Chapter XXIV · Jury-Fixing Uncovered.
Reading edition
Judge Sturtevant, at the investigation which followed, showed himself not at all clear as to details. Finally Murphy asked him:
“Q. Judge, do you remember that I said to you that I had information that one of the jurors was willing to sell his vote for $1,000 and someone had come to me with that?
“A. I remember, Mr. Murphy, you mentioned the amount of $1,000 regarding one of his statements, but I would not go further than that; I don’t remember what this man had agreed to do for the thousand dollars. That is my general recollection that that is about the substance of the statement you made to me.”
