As might be expected, the phalanx OF curiosity
seekers was redouoed yesterday morning. 1t
was thought that exhausted by tiresome de-
bates as TO the guilt or innocence OF the defend
ant, and disgusted beyond measure with the en-
tire surroundings OF the protracted investigation,
the Jury, unable 10 agree, would present them
selves In court AZ eleven O'Clock and announce
their inability. In view OF this ANTICIPATED re-
suit OF their deliberations and indeed Impelled
by the same motives which induced many to at
tend the trial from the beginning, a dense crowd
assembled In the vicinity or the court room
shortly after the gates had been thrown OPEN
Thanks to the vigilance and the exertlons OF the
police the ardor OF many OF the visitors was re-
pressed, otherwise the court room would have
been almost uncomfortable. The gallery was packed

THE JURY
sent no request whatever 20 the Judge during
the morning, ana thls was regarded "a a rather
favorable omen; that, IN fact they were doing
their utmost 10 arrive at some definite conclu-
sion. on tne other hand, however, IL was limited
that the jurors were by no means pleased with
the refusal to allow them to such parts OF the
charge as they desired. Many claim that the
jury had their minds fully made 10 before they
lett the court but that they deem it due TO the
importance OF the case to make some show OF
heightened elaboration. Howbeit, nothing was
heard rom them during the day. As 20 whether

Nelson yesterday again emphatically expressed
his opinion. he SAID under no circumstances
