Aaron Burr, on an Indictment for Treason, Before the Circuit Court of the United States, Held in Richmond, (Virginia), May Term, 1807: Including the Arguments and Decisions on All the Motions Made During the Examination and Trial, and on the Motion for an Attachment Against Gen. Wilkinson However, as it was left with him to elect whether he would Serve on the Grand lury or not, he should certainly withdraw. Col. Burr said, e must be pardoned for supposing that this effort of the gentleman to divest himself of all prepossessions was above human nature. He believed he had, as much as any man could have under such circumstances, a pure mind, above bias. But this particular fact of having in his public character formed a decisive Opinion upon his conduct, must render him unqualified to serve upon the jury. He declared that Mr. Giles was the last mas: on whom he would wish to cast any reflections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
