1 No Verdict Yet-The Jury Locked Up for the Night - A Jurors Whfskey Which May Annul the Trial-RumOrs that tn @ Jury Will Be Discharged.
 WASHINGTON, June 13.-There was a sen-
 sational scene in the Star route trial this
 morning which it was thought for a time might result in the entire nullifcation of the
 labors of the past seven months. The court
 met few minutes after 10 o'clock After
 the usual routine business, the marshal an-
 nounced that one of the jury desired to be
 instructed on point on which there was
 doubt. Judge Wylie directed that the jury
 be brought in. The court room was filled,
 and the air was sultry. As the jurors came
 into the court there was profound silence.
 This soon gave place to a scene of excite
 ment, for as EJuror Vernon entered he ut
 tered terrific yell and fell to the floor in
 fit-- Immediately the judge, court officers
 and counsel were on their feet,
 and confusion reigned. Colonel Inger-
 soil shouted, Throw water on
 him! Give him air.! !'' ''Stand bask!" said
 a voice in the crowd. ''Is there physician
 was procured and physician stepped for
 ward. Mrs. Peck, wife of the dead defend
 ant, tainted and for 8 moment it seemed as
 though there would be panic. But order
 was finally restored, and the judge directed
 that the jurors be taken to their room. When
 Vernon had recovered the jury returned to
 the court room. Judge Wylie said: ''This
 man has been drinking good deal. He is
 hard thinker. In the course of the trial I

 pose the effect of measurably cutting off his supplies is serious. but he is not fit to be on the jury now" Dr. Sauers said he was all right now. Foreman Crane said that one of the jurors wanted some Information that re- lated to questions of fact. The juror stated his difficulties, which were merely questions of fact, and so the court informed him. Judge 1 Wylie, referring to the sick juror, said he ! hoped he would now be able to perform his l duty, end that he did not propose to dis charge the jury soon. The foreman wanted l to know if they could make partial report. l He said there was some doubt as to the fact | of the conspiracy. He evidently wanted to l disclose the situation in the jury room, but 1 the court checked him. The judge notified l him that when they reported their verdict it 1 must be whole verdict. The judge, for | their instruction, again briefly stated the | nature of conspiracy and of l the overt acts they must find 8 | conspiracy and overt acts and then who were engaged in it. The foreman complained of l the excessive heat and was given permission l to take a walk in the City Hall Park. Judge l Wylie said the jury could retire. and if Ver- non needed any more medicine (referring to l whiskey) he could have it; but he wanted it | understood that the medicine" was not to 1 be for general circulation, the marshal at l the same time being instructed to allow Yer ! non two drinks of whiskey day, but to | prevent the circulation of whiskey bottle l among the jurors. Judge Wylie intimated that ] resort might be had to the common law rule l (deprivation of light and food) if 8 verdict l were not soon forthcoming.
 The court took recess until 10 a. m. to- | morrow, with the understanding that it l would meet to receive the verdict, if the l jury should agree upon one before that hour. l
 The jury retired at 10 o'clock tonight to l their apartments without having arrived at 1 verdict. It is represented that there exists serious disagreement in the jury room which 1 will be difficult, if not impossible, to recon cile The physician who is attending Juror Vernon says he sustained painful injuries of the head and left leg when he fell this morn ing in the court room.
 There is considerable comment over Judge Wylie's remarks to day, and it is interpreted l by many to mean that he will discharge the l jury in the morning, declaring it a mistrial. l This, it is alleged, would leave the govern 1 ment's case in better shape than to rely upon | 8 jury which, as now seems probable, will | disagree and fail to bring in yer | dict. District Attorney Corkhiu said to- | night that in view of the condition of Juror | Vernon if a verdict of guilty was brought in
 no judge would refuse new trial to the de- | fendants. MT. Jere Wilson, of counsel for | the defense, coincided in this view, while on l all sides it was agreed that no matter what 1 the verdict, if one be reached, it will not be 1 received by the country with that confdenc @ l and satisfaction which would have followed | verdict had the scene of to-day not occurred |
