a fair trial.
3rd- We have learned that the jurors
were not selected in the usual way.
4th- The defendant was practically
without council when he was
on trial for his life.
5th- No motive was shown for the
crime of which he was convicted.

Believing these to be the facts,
we, the undersigned, demand that
