the murder of Wallbaum, resulted in th
disagreement Of the jury. Among tn
various reasons given by the jurors 70
being unable TO agree upon verdict wa
that Of Teutoaic gentleman, who stout
ly affirmed that there was no eyidenc,
before the jur 1t the death of Wallbaum
though six Ieven testified to the fac
of his deaf I'd burial. This. however
was not $ ptory to the unconv;ncol
juror, who conended, How does kno,.
dot Vallbaum vas dead; never knows
him, and ne was not in the Court and
how can l tell if he be dead Il annesr -
that District Attorney Patchen, Of Lin.
coin county, had forgotten to bring the
corpse OF Wallbaum with him to the trial
and OF course could not make prefer Of
the same to the jury. The reasoning Of
!he juror certainly seems convincing. and
IN view Of the heavy expense Of these
TRIALS, 1t Is to be hoped that in the future
our prosecuting officers will be more
thoughtful, and upon the trial Of murder
cases Will have on hand at least one
jury" " '"e
