After the jury was called in the Peail
Piruey case, the jury in the Reynolds case,
communicated to the court the fact that they
had disagreed. The court sent back a short
communication, which, when received, Gre
:.ted laugh. We surmise that the judge
intimated that he could not consistently dis
charge them after bang out so siort a time.
They had only been out about % hours.
When Pearl Pinney's case was called,
there was a rumOr in court, to the effect that
he had fallen hei- u ST, 900 since his j,iiing
on the charge of grand larceny. Fate can be
very exasperating and irOnical, when she SO
minds. There Is one consolation, ii he goes
to prison he cannot spend this legacy. and
will have something 10 start on when re-
leased.
