The resounding figures reflected the Georgia jury's opinion of the casual journalism of the Saturday Evening Post, which had accused the former Georgia football coach of trying to fix a Georgia-Alabama game.

...jury's two salesladies continued working at night, and most of the others were kept on regular salaries by their employers (in addition to juror's pay of $7 a day for the first 30 days and $10 a day thereafter). Despite the strain of keeping up with the complicated evidence, the hours were not bad-usually 10 to 4, five days a week.
