| WASHINGTON, Jan. BIN the star route
case MIR. Chandler moved to have the YER
dict of the jury of the last trial formally
entered on the records of the court; wanted
it in the clerks record, particularly that
| part declaring Peck not guilty. Mr.. Mer-
rick read from the printed record to show
| the jury had not found any verdict as to
| Peck. Chandler stated the grounds of his
motion and commented sharply on the
course of the prosecution. Judge Wylie
| said: This is most extraordinary talk It
is right. recognized as belonging to every
| court to send back jury to reconsider a
verdict if the court is not satisfied"
Mr.. Chandler did not deny it, but said

amend its verdict. The Judge said the
court understood the matter perfectly, and
proceeded to state the facts as to the action
of the jury in relation to Peck and the
courts action on the same. Mr.. Chandler
attempted to make remark.
Judge Wylie-I insist that counsel
allow it; will not be talked down by
counsel.
Mr.. Ohandler-Have not right?
Judge-You have not right, sir. Take
your seat, sir. The marshal will see that
the gentleman takes his seat. The court
will neither be talked down nor be brow
beaten by anybody.
To Chandler-Now, sir, you will under
stand your position and mine, too. I say
there was no verdict rendered in regard to
Peck. The verdict that was rendered and
recorded said nothing in relation to
him. There is, therefore, nothing for
the court to pass upon. re-
greet that counsel should have forced
the court to take on apparently harsh
course which the court has deemed to be
necessary, but we must have order here.

~ way,not in the usual method. addressing

Mr.. Smith resumed his argument in be-
half of Dickson, in tho police court He
said Bowers testimony showed conclusive,

sought an introduction to Cameron. He

acter when the court said: Il cannot re-
gard Bowers testimony as very compe-
tent. I regard it as SO shaky it amounts
to nothing"
During the course of his remarks Smith
charged that the little sneak Cameron
stole out of the city and was unheard of
for weeks. Referring to Cameron, Hoover
and Bowen he said the attorney general had
