2d. I am ; have known Judge Stump by sight eight years; four years ago this winter I was summoned as a regular juror for the Criminal Court; went into the Court with some prejudices against the Judge, being thus prejudiced, I scrutinized his conduct, and before my twenty-one days was up my mind was changed in his favor, came to the conclusion that he was a well-read, clear-headed lawyer, strictly honest in all his decisions ; have had no connection with the Court since that time, until the present winter, with the exception of being an occasional spectator ; am now in the same Court as a regular juror, and still find him the same Judge ; have seen Judge Stump frequently, and never saw him drunk, nor heard him use vulgar or profane language in my life ; his general conduct has been kind and courteous.
