minutes before Owe O'Clock. For some hours

the expectation that verdict would be rom
dered before night; but a. soon a. II became
apparent that disagreement was probable, the
thronR withdrew, and at midnight the building
was deserted. At eleven o'clock this morning
Judge Reed sent for the jury, and, in reply to
their inquiries. CHARGED them that they might
hiring In a verdict of not guilty, so for as murder
was concerned, II they believed that Carruth
WAS recovering from the original injury wnen
but this would not relieve the prisoner OF the
responsibility Of an ATTEMPT to XIII. for which
the penalty IN the discretion al the Court
not more than ten years imprisonment and \
thousand dollars nne. He further Instructed
them tnnt n they had merely doubt OF the
prisoners sanity thew were not Justined IN Civ
ing him the cement OF that doubt, inasmucH a.
the burden of proving his Insanity dew lived upon
tue defence. They could not entirely acquit the
prisoner on anv ground except that OF hts insani-
", II they believed lac fred the pistol at Carruth
with intent to kill. Judge Reed then defined
the different degrees OF cT1me OF which Ltndis
could be convicted, VIZ. Murder Ia the first
aud second degrees, Granddaughter, and shoot
INC with intent to Iii.
The jury then Withdrew. and remained out all
dfY. THIS morning IL was iscertIinod with tol

there Is growing Impression that " they agree
AT AL they will return verdict OF mdnslaughter
