The Case Goes to the Jury, who
Failed to Reach q Verdict Last
Evening.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-State's Attorney
Grinnell concluded his address in the an
archists' trial to-day and Judge Gary
charged the jury. The instructions both
for the prosecution and defense were quite
voluminous, and deliberately went into the
questions of what cons tituted the crime Of
murder and what ought to be considered
reasonable doubt regarding the guilt of the
prisoners. The court instructed the jury in
his own behalf as follows:
If advice and encouragement to murder
was given, and if murder was done in pur-
suauce Of and materially induced by such
advice and encouragement, then those who
gave such advice and announcement are
guilty of murder. Unless the evidence,
either direct or circu;ustantial, or both.
proved the guilt of one Or more of the de-
PENDANTS upon this principle so fully that
there is no reasonable doubt, your duty to
them requires you to acquit them. If it
does so prove, then your duty to the state re-
quires you to convict whoever is proven
guilty. The case of each defendant should
be considered with the same care and scrutiny
as if he alone were on trial. If a conspiracy
having
VIOLENCE AND MURDER
as its object is fully proved, then the acts
declarations of each conspirator in further
ance of the conspiracy are the acts and de-
claratiOps OF each one of the conSpirators.
but the declarations of any conspirator be-
fore or after the 4th of May, which are
merely narrative as to what had been or
would be DONE and not made to aid in carry
ing into effect the object Of the conspiracy,
are only evidence against the one who made
them. What are the facts and what is the
truth the jury must determine from the evil
dence and from that alone. If there are un.
guarded expressions in any Of the instruc-
tions which seem to assume the existence of
any facts or to the instructions of what is
proved, all such expressions must be disre-
garded and the evidence only looked to to
determine the facts.
The jury then retired. At $3.50 O'Clock,
Judge Gary, after consulting with the at
torneys for both sides, ordered that the
| jury be brought back to the court room to
receive some instructions in the law regard
ing the crime of manslaughter. The jury
was instructed that it could return verdict
of manslanghter in the case of any, one or
all prisoners without conflicting with the
terms of the Indictment. The crime of
manslaughter was defined, and the jury
having been instructed regarding the
penalties that the law prescribed, again re-
tired.
At 6 o'clock court adjourned until to-
morrow. The jury are guarded by force
of fifty police. Crowds remain in the
vicinity and the excitement is great.
At 10 o'clock it is learned that the jury
has returned to the hotel. This is believed
to indicate that
VERDICT HAS BEEN FOUND.
as otherwise the jury had been instructed
by the court not to leave their room in the
criminal court building. From bailiff it
is believed that the jurymen were ready to
return to their hotel at o'clock. 1t is
conjectured from that, with the possible
exception of Neebe, the prisoners will fare
alike. the jury not having taken the requi-
site time to discuss their cases separately
