From the New York Courier g. Enquirer
fhc Salem Trints.-We have received further ac-
counts from Salem in relation to the trial On Fri
DAY last, the jury came into Court, and stating
through their foreman that they could never agree
requested final discharge. The Court nssened. and
the papers which We're before them were withdrawn,
and preparations made for a new trial 1t appears
that two including the foreman of the jury dissent
ed from the opinion of the other ten The clrcum
stance IN which this result had its origin, arose from
tn" nsulclency OF the testimony in proving the iden-
ty of Frank Knapp with the person the corner of
the square when the murder committed-or if it
was Knapp, whether he was there only out of curos-
ty to know the result but rot from disposition TO
raid or abet in the deed.
The result of this trial has produced great excite
ment IN Salem No one who has not been present
during these trials and observed the tone and cur
rent OF conversation TINT town. can imap,ne the
feelings with which the people of Salem have viewed
every event connected with the sngulurly atrocious
murder of Captain White. Before any discovery
was made tending TO fix the murder upon its perpe-
traitors such was the eXcitabty of the public mind
in Salem that many individuals of standing in society
talked of ENGRAVING from the place altogether-of
removing from community containing characters so
dangerous and fearful as the un1ercrs of Captain
w bite. Fhe house in which the murder was com
united is situated IN the heart of Salem-the most
popuious neighbourhood-in the immediate vicinity of
the court house. public square and insurance eices
IL is large BRICK house OF ample and spacious d.
mansions, with double rooms, and three stories in
height 1t is deserted and untenanted and
would not sell for third of its real value. From
otner and accurate sources have also learned that
the general effect OF this murder, and of the excite
ment and terror Produced has created depression in
real estate
The result of the trial in the case of Drank will no
oubt increase the predominant feelings TIrere are
however, several other indictments which he will
be tried, bur the disagreement of the jury is cacula-
ted to produce perfect explosion.
