Original ballad about the duties of being placed on the jury of a murder case. The case involved was the murder of Robert Stratton by his daughter's ex-lover Harold Frotten. Includes a list and brief biography of each of the jurors on the case. It appears that Frotten attempted to claim innocence due to insanity, but the ploy did not work. Original stiff wraps. A bit of staining and wear. OCLC records "0" copies of this little gem. An interesting poetical summation of this murder trial in Vermont.
