The whisky Gases.

1t was reported Friday that Carl
Miller's bondsmen had surrendered
him, upon which he was taken to jail.
1t was stated in THE NEWS Thursday
that the jury in the second Stack case
had returned q verdict OF guilty The
verdict, in some way, and it has not
yet transpired how, seems 10 have been
tempered with since the adjournment of
the court yesterday. This, and the fact
that it was declared informal by Staack' IS
attorneys, was ground for e motion on
their part 10 discharge the prisoner.
Judge Graves has the motion and the
facts in reference to the verdict under
advIsement to-day. This incident in the
prosecution of Stack will not in the
least cause q cessation of hOstllities, as il
is the determination to enforce the
liquor law.
In the case against Mrs. DeLudolph
the jury disagreed, six being for con
viction and six for acquittal. The
ground on which the disagreement Oc
Cured was that the witness called fol
pop, and that Mrs. DeLudolph thOughi
she was ceiling pop, though it turned
out to be whisky. Miller on going, on
of the gin hole, had pointed out to heI
certain bottles which he SAID contained
pop, and it was enc of these she sold
This was her evidence and thu
court instructed the jury tina
if she honestly believed she solo
pop, she could not be held for violation
of the law. This may have been 4
dodge" on her part, but half Of the jury
men, it seems, had sufficient confidence
in her word to let her go. The case wa
continued till next term of court and sh,
was required to enter into new recog
niZance.
