Messrs. Tracy and Hill for the complainant.
Judge Riley ordered both L9eder aud Price to

exploded the story told aud sworn to by Loe-
der and Price.
The Tribune says the message sent from the
jury to Judge Nelson, yesterday, proved 10 be
simply an inquiry if the Judge could answer
question which the jury wished to PROFOUND
without adding an opinion or giving his rea-
sous. The counsel CONSULTED over the message
and finally decided the Judge could not answer,
or that it was not advisable that he should.
An answer to this effect was finally returned,
but the Judge suggested that 10 addition
the jurors be Informed that they could come in.
to court at any time, and ask for instructions.
