NEW 1Ork, september ia New YORK
Herald Washington special says that af-
ter the morning adjournment in the star
route case as the crowd disperses there
are various conjectures as to how the jury
really stands. The defendants counsel
claim mot guilty" for Ex-senator Dor
sey and his brother, John w. Dorsey,
and Turner, and the jury hung for Brady,
Miner, Riedall and Vaile. The audience,
broken into groups in front of the court
house, again turns it's attention to the
jury, now occupying their room in the
second story Of the wing aud crowding
about the open window overlooking the
piazza,and the multitude seem to read in
their listless faces determination not to
agree. Bets are freely offered of four to
one that not one of the defendants will
be convicted. Brady and Dorsey drive
off with their counsel and friends, while
the other conspirators are content to
walk or ride in the street cars.
A New York Times Washington spe-
cial says that it is believed the jury will
not be discharged until it becomes PLAIN
that further confinement wonld be USE
less. The subject of bribery, brought
forward by Judge Wylie some few days
ago, continues to excite great interest
and it is believed that some very inter-
esting evidence has already been re-.
ceived by the government. It is said in
addition that by offers made in the in
terest of the defense it will appear that
detective formerly employed by the
government approached juror and at
tempted to corrupt him, pretending he
Was still government employee and
was acting for the government. Among
the rumors in circulation is one that the
juror who was approached in the inter-
est of the defense, took the money which
was offered and placed it in the hands OF
Judge Wylie. Whether this and many
other rumors have any foundation in
fact cannot be determined until the tria
comes to an end.
Washington, September 11-At lO:1C
the jury entered the court room and
through their foreman reported to th.
court that they had reached conclusion
as to four of the defendants, but stood
as on Saturday as to the others. Being
unable to agree as to them, the court de
clined to receive the verdict and took
recess until 2p. IN.
Washington, September 1l-At 90
the jury entered and through their fore
man reported that they were unable t,
agree. The court stated that it had com
to the conclusion to accept partial vel
dict, and the roll of the defendants wa
called and all answered "here." TIL
jury then rendered verdict of acquit
tai rs to Turner and Peck, and of guilt,
as to Miner and Riedall. As to the 9th
ers they were unable to agree.
After an angry passage between Ingel
soil and Merrick and earnest statement
on both sides regarding the intent t
prove au alleged attempt at bribery, th
: court adjourned until Wednesday, whe
arguments on the motion in arrest {
Judgment will be heard. One OF til
jurors says that on the first ballot, as t
Z all of the defendants, with the cxceptio
Of Turner, the vote stood for conviction
