The WHITE MURDER--No Verdict-
We received the following note from our
reporter at Washington, on Saturday
night:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.
The Jury in the Jones case are still out
L" hanging fire." 1t is stated that they
are not likely 10 agree soon. They are
all " solid men," who will not easily
surrender their convictions. Rumor has
it this morning that ten stood for con-
vciion and two for acquitlal.
The court relenled from its decision 10
give the jury no food or drink, last night.
The, jury yesterday sent in for cigars"
--presumihg they did not come within
the food and drink Instructions. Whether
they got 'em, l can't say, but presume
they did.
In the afternoon there was report
that the jury stood nine for acquiual and
three for conviction. Not reliable, nor
is the rumor above noted. The general
impression is that the jury will not agree
for some time-probabIy not at I'll.
We learned from the driver of the
Washington stage, last evening, that no
verdict had been rendered up to one
o'clock on Sunday.-PH. Dis. Of Mon.
