us how you stand, for publication in the papers"
Inns was reported as a serious attempt to get at
the secrets of the jury room, and in consequence,
four officers were sworn in last night to patrol the
hive long night, under the windows of the jury
room. -Four new special officers were also sworn
IN last night, to relieve those outside the door f

that it does not lie with you nor with anybody
on earth to determine my future. That is mat

ice till the coffin lids are screwed down. 1t may
be here or it may be somewhere else, but under
Gods providence am going to work out my life.
Let me see the man who will stop me. 1t lies
with God and me. As long as there is sympathy

stars. Thousands on the way to and from church
called to the outer door, but went no farther on
hearing there was no news. Judge Nelson de-
clared he had head nothing from the jury and
had made up his mind that they would not come
down until later in the day. The Judge said he
would go home about 5 o'clock. Some think the
Judge will keep them in for a week.
