An Interesting Case I'm which the Jary
Failed 10 Agree.
This interesting case came On for trial
last evening before Squire Peterman and q
iury. The jurymen were J. B. Shepherd,
Fred Snyder, Peter E. linn, Joseph Law
son, John O'Donnell and Charles Beuter.
The LAWYERS were John S. Robinson and
John O. Pendleton for Eccles, and VIM.
Erskine for the city. Eccles claimed
s1s6 GA with interest, from July l, 1881,
for services as electrician for the city. At
seven o'clock the squire, lawyers and the
Jury were on the grind, and soon after
city officials and con. linen without num-
Der poured in and 6 lady to take hand
in the melee. At Iarter to eight o clock
the LAWYERS announced that they were
ready and the music began. The examination
af the witnesses was continued until after
ten, and then the lawyers began to pack
law into the jury in manner that
highly edited uncle Peter linn. Robinson
opened, Erskine replied, and Pendletou
closed the case. The facts were clearly in
Eccles' favor, but the jury wrestled WIN
the law until within fifteen minutes OF IL,
when they announced that they were un-
able to agree and were discharged. The
new trial was fixed for next Thursday even.

man presided at the trial with exenp'
iary dignity, but he allowed the law
books used by the attorneys to be
filed with the jury when they
retired to make up their verdict, and this
was too much for them. He might Just as
well have sent the lawyers along with
them, as they could certainly not have
tangled the jurors up in such fashion as
the books did One juryman said if all the
books said the same thing, they would
have had no difficulty in making up the

trary, he didn't.see why they had any law
at all, or how they could tell which book
was lying or which was square; Al any
rate the reporter thinks that the books did
the Jurors incalculable damage, and mud
died their minds as badly as the lawyers.

Considering the unfayorableness
of the weather, work on the capitol
extension is progressing well. The
north wing walls are up nearly to
the top of the second story, and the
south wing is but little behind. The
building necessitates openings in
the wall of the present supreme
court room, and the next session Of
the court will probably be in the
Senate chamber. No provision was
made by the Legislature for fur
nishing the new wings. To furnish
them properly will cost a consider
able sum, and the Governor will
have to exercise the authority given
under general statute and purchase
furniture, if the new rooms are to
be utilized before the meeting of the
Legislature in 1885.
