Passage 2.
\n
George had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.
\n
Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, “Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it – that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty.”
\n
“Well, George,” answered Jim. “I shall certainly try to do anything. The other eleven people on the jury look terribly strong minded to me.”
\n
George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.
\n

\n
