The Bedford Gazette

The first experience of the women of Wyoming as jurors proves conclusively that in invading the domain which the masculine biped has hitherto considered peculiarly his, they have not laid aside the feminine quality of having opinions of their own and tenaciously sticking to them. The trial upon which they were engaged was a case of murder, and for four consecutive nights they had been detained unable to agree. The dispatch says that they looked pale and fatigued, but we can readily imagine that they will allow themselves to be well nigh starved and become quite ill before any disposition to give in is developed.

Since writing the above we learn that the jury has actually agreed-a circumstance that makes the novelty of a female jury all the more wonderful.
