juuittal and for the conviction of Beecher
HOW THEY LOOKED AND WHAT WAS SAID
The jury. as they came into the cour

/ the fact that some of them carried travel
ling bags it was believed that they hat
agreed on a verdict. The proceeding
lwere conducted in low tone of voice
CARPENTER stated that it was impossible fo
the jury to agree and he regretted it yer
|. much. After the Judge had admonishe
them not to regard the alleged new ev
depce he asked them if it would be suits
BILE to state to him what questions of tn
law disturbed them, but only received th
answer that in a month they might be n
nearer a conclusion. Carpenter said b
spoke for eleven jurors in saying thu
' there was only one man who believed the

4oclock.
At 4;4O Nelson announced that he hs
