coroslty in the result Of the star rout1
ti1aI mas not abated, was manifested b,
the large crowd which thronged thu
courtroom this morning. Minor, Rer
dell, Vale and ]. w. Dorsey were in at
tendance, and the Judge having taker
ms seat. the session Of Friday closed
and the session of Monday vas entered
upon. The jury entered, hooking ia.
tiRued and generally worn out. In an.
swer to the question of the CIerk
whether they had agreed upon a verdict
Foreman Dickson said: We repori
that the jury stands the same as it did
when We reported last Saturday. We
nave decided as to four of the defend
ants, but are not able to agree as TO the
| others,
lngersoll requested the Court to in
qulre whether there was any prospect
OF the jury reaching conclusion.
| THIS the Court refused to do, stating
that that was matter about which the
jury might differ. He was not willing
TO discharge them yet. He was unvill-
ing TO enforce the barbarism of the Law
OF starving the jury. They could have
water to drink, food to eat and place
to rest.
Foreman Dickson-The jury have just
requested me, if proper, TO present my
personal yieWsas 10 agreement.
C0urt-The Court cannot receive il.
II the jury are still in darkness as to
any questions of Law, the Court will
with pleasure try to enlighten them.
Foreman Dickson-We have fully dis
cussod every point presented by your
Honor as to the law of conspiracy and
the facts presented by the evidence.
Juror McNally-I am firm in my con-
victiOn, and nothing can alter it.
The COurt-NOne of You are author
lied to make a statement now. have
no doubt You have been celebrating,
bat have not reached conclusion as to
the whole case. 1t is in the power of
the Court TO accept such verdict as
you are prepared to render now, but the
importance of the issue, the great
amount Of labor, money, time and care
expended in the trial OF this cause rem
ders it very important that, If possible.
you should render complete verdict as
to the whole of the defendants. l do
not wish to give you binding instruc-
ti0ns. Even as to that, I will try you
once more.
Foreman Dickson (resienedly)-We
bow with respectful submission to the
Court.
The Court stated that he did net wish
to be understood by the last remark as
promising to discharge the jury at 2
O'Clock.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.-At 2:O6 o'clock
the jury entered aud. through their
foreman, reported they were unable to
agree.
The Court stated il had come to the
conclusion to accept partial verdict.
The roll of defendants was then
called, and all answered "Here." The
jury then rendered a verdict of acquittal
as to Turner and Peck, and guilty as to
Miner and Rerdell. As to the others,
they were unable to agree. Merrick
and Peck had not been arraiened and
consequently could not be included in
the verdict.
The foreman repeated the report as.to
the others, but left out the name of
Peck.
The jury were then discharged, and
Henkle and Williams, for Minor and
Rerdell respectively, asked an arrest of
Judgment and for new trial.
| After an angry passage between In
gersOll and Merrick, and earnest state
ments ON both sides with the intent to
probe the alleged attempt at bribery to
the bottom, the Court adjourned until
Wednesday, whom arguments on the
motion to arrest judgment will be heard.
One Of tho jurors says as to al! the do
