Trial by Jury In CnliforniR--A JurymRn's Ar
guments
From the Alta California
It will be recollected that the Jury in the O'Con-
murder case were sent out TO deliberate on their
verdict about O'Clock last Saturday afternoon
They were brought into court several times, but
stated that they were unable to agree, and were
always sent cut again. AT 1'15 O'Clock yesterday
looked weary and exhausted.
William Hosford, one of the Jurors, addressed the
court substantially as follows:-
was told last night that II ] did not decide 80
and SO, by another juryman, it would be worse for
me, This morning, while lying in bed, this man
(pontiDg to Mr. Howard) stood over me, and threat
ened If did not decide with him he would shoot
me or cut me to pieces Under those circumstances
desire Of this gentleman, IT would be very wrong for
me to do SO; and don't desire to sleep there again.
because don't think the man is sane, from the way
H. o. Howard-I deny the charges; there is no
truth in them.
Judge McKinstry-I don't care about hearing the
merits Of the matter II there is any juror who has
any weapons on his person let him surrender them
Mr.. Howard then took from his vest a bowie
knife, and from bis back pocket Derringer, which
Judge McKinstry-It shocks the sense OF de.
ceney that juror should go into the jury room

William Observation-Disclosures he stood over
same thing. Rather than 20 there and sleep an
other night in his company, will agree with them
upon verdict and do it under protest; and will
do it against my conscience.

Juror desire to represent to your Honor that an
agreement is impossible We have stood eleven to
one since last Sunday.
Judge McKinistry-Ths defendant will have to
be retired, and l do not desire to comment on the
case. l did not suppose there was anything in the
case to prevent you from finding verdict. The
law supposes that when you go out to deliberate you
will agree. 1t is strange that juror should go in
the jury-room armed. What is this country coming
to if such things are carried On? Soon after the

Last evening an immense gas holder in
Cincinnati exploded, causing a loss of one
hundred thousand dollars Fortunately no

wished to discuss it, entered motion to re-
consider the reference. Pending discussion
