prosecution and Jury.
snaclsl Drspa,ch to the Register.
ST. CLAIRsvILLE, August Is.
Court met this morning at O'Clock,
and Judge Okey ordered the Sheriff to
hiring in the jury, which was done at
oncs and the Court put the question:
Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a
vsrdics?" The foreman said they had
not. and that there was no prospect OF
an agreement. Then His Honor, Judge
OKey, announced that the jury was dis
cnar,ed from further service, and they
,nnld step up to the Clerks desk and re-
ceiye their pay. The great trial was
ended and the case now stands just
where i, stood over two weeks ago when
the hearing was commenced.
The jurors say that only two OF their
number voted for murder in the first
degree, six for second degree and four
Tor manslaughter. They finally settled
down TO eight for second degree and
four for manslaughter, and neither
side would yield. At one time
they voted nine for murder in the
eecond degree and three for manslaugh.
Ter, and this was the nearest they came
10 verdict.
There is great Indignation here over
the result Of the trial. Everybody be-
lieves that the evidence warranted
verdict OF murder in the first degree and
that Weir deserveslo.hang. How jrrors,
then, in the light OF the testimony, could
vote for a conviction of manslaughter,
passes comprehension. The feeling
here is very bitter, and judge, prosecut-
ing attorney and jury, all come in for a
share OF the blame. There are many
Who believe the States side OF tho case
uas very inetiiciently managed. Many
think the judges charge showed par
tiality for Weir, and the jurors who
voted for manslaughter are denounced
Ipost OF all.
The prisoner was not in the court
room when the jury " as brought in.
Nothing further will be done in the case
until the next term OF court, which will
commence in November next 1t is not
likely there will be change OF venue.
Weir's attorneys have too gcoi an cpin-
ion of Belmont county iuries now to
ask for a change.

WASHINGTON, August Lex Sheriff
Albert Daggett, of BROOKLYN, who is

has given up all hope. He says that
Secretary Brown Is hopeful, but that he
don't like the looks OF the doctors, as

when asked how the President. was:
"He is better than last night"

stomach is a naturally rebellious
one" "How long, Doctor, can life be
sustained by nourishment injected into
the bowels?" "Oh, some time. / hope,
at all events, until we can repair the
tone of the stomach" On this latter
point the doctors disagreed:
Secretary OF War Lincoln is quotet
as having said that there must be some.
thing to nourish the President inside OF
forty-eight hours, or the case would be
decidedly dangerous and aggravated
one. When ex-senator Blair was down
prior to death his stomach tailed him,
and the doctors were unable to sustain
him by enemata. So, also, in the case
of ex-senator Morton.
