Excerpt from The Thirteenth Juror: A Tale Out of Court Certainly there was no keener Observer in Fraser County than Peter Reeve as he sat on his impro vised rostrum, pipe in hand, beaming a bene diction on his assembled guests. He knew every man in the place and just what had brought him there; he could name every juror who had sat on any case of importance during the past thirty years, and give the inside history of his verdict; he was generally familiar with the claims of the litigants long before they reached the court-room; and there were not many lawyers who could tell him anything he did not already know concerning the private afiairs of their clients.
