cher jury universally answered, TO all ques-
tions, that they stood to 3 in favor OF
Beecher, but had sworn not to repeat the
names of the jurors on either side.
Tilton and MoultoD were standing in the
room and were besieged with questions,
but they only shook their heads.
The Jurors for Tilton are, it is said, JEFF
freys, Flute and Davis. Tilton says it is
moral victory for him.
This morning the jury in the Tilton-
Beecher sent a note to Judge Nelson stat
ing that it was impossible to agree. The
judge replied that he would send for the
counsel at 10 o'clock and communicate with
them.
Notwithstanding the fact that all jurors
stated that they had taken a solemn oath
meyer to reveal the secrets Of the jury room
the following has been ascertained by inter-
views: One juror said I'VE stand to-day
precisely as we did when we went up stairs
into the jury room to deliberate eight days
ago." Another juror stated that one time
| the Jury stood eleven to one; again, nine to
three, and still later FIVE to seven. There
was an irreconcilable difference of opinion
as to the credibility of witnesses on each
side.
Shearman said to day that the counsel
for defense had been visited several times
by friend of one man on the jury who in-
timated that his verdict could be purchas
ed. Shearman declined to state whether
they would move for new trial. The
prevalent rumor is that plaintiffs counsel
: will move for a new trial immediately by
: placing the case on the October call and
that as soon as it is called motion will be
made for change ofvenue.
