4 these prisoners; jerry Casey remaining charged
as the murderer. After an absence Of some time
/ Jerry returned to the city, and was arrested. He
protested his innocence, and declared that he
would never have fed but for the advice of his
i sister.
The killing was clearly an outrageous murder
but as no one saw the stabbing, and as Ryan was
dragged some distance from his door by another
man besides Jerry Casey, and as there were other
persons at the mouth Of the alley and as the night
was dark, at least in the alley the question of the
stabbing had to rest altogether upon circumstan-
tial evidence. McShane, it was shown, was the
man who went up the alley with Jerry, and was
supposed to have assisted Jerry in his seizure OF
i Ryan. Dan Casey and Joe Sutton were the two
who stood at the end of the alley. McShane,
Il however was acquitted by the Recorder, upon the
testimony Of Dan Casey and Sutton.
Yesterday, the prisoner Jerry Casey, fine-look-
ing young man. appeared at the bar, attended by
his father and sister. He was defended by Col.
Field and Judge Heistand; the prosecution being
conducted by Attorney-General Semmes and
| District Attorney Bradford.
Testimony on the part of the State failed to fix
the killing with any clearness, even cireumstanti
ally, upon the prisoner Ryan's dying declaration,
and his wife's testimony, were much contradicted
by the testimony for the defence. The witnesses
were examined at great length and with much
particularly.
Counsel on both sides argued with great correct
ness and ability; so much So that Judge Hunt al
luded to it handsomely, in the course of lengthy
and elaborate charge to the jury.
4 Shortly after O'Clock the jury retired. at 81
o'clock they sent word that there was no prospect
Of their agreeing. Judge Hunt thereupon con
signed them to the care of Mr.. Deputy Sheriff
Seicshnaydre for the night, and adjourned the
court
