The McQuade Jury Fail 90 agree.
New YORK, Nov. pa few minutes
after IL O'Clock Recorder Smythe made
his appearance in the court, and at ll:40
the jury III the McQuade case came into
the room. Foreman Lynn stated they
had not agreed upon a verdict, adding,
eve have remained the same since IL
O'Clock Monday night" Recorder Smythe
said no did not think il was worth while
to keep the jury longer. and asked District
Attorney Marine for his opinion. Mar
line thought if the status OF the jury re-
NAMED unchanged since IL O'Clock Mon.
day night, they had better be discharged.
Recorder Smythe thereupon discharged
the jury. District Attorney Marine then
addressed the Court. He felt he had per-
formed his whole duty in this matter, and
lis assistants worked manfully; they had
preser TED the full case, and he was at a
loss TO understand how the jury, or any
Jury, could fail to agree upon some ver-
dict. He felt that the result of this trial
was a public calamity and the case should
be called for a speedy retrial. He there
fore moved for . new trial on Monday
next. Newcomb thought he needed more
time to prepare for q new trial. The Re-
cordor thought the lawyers had ample
preparation, and he therefore granted the
motion for q new trial, to begin Monday
next at IL A. NJ.
To the general surprise of those who
had closely watched the trial, the first
ballot taken az midnight On Monday stood
nine for acquittal and three for conviction.
There we're only three ballots after that.

other last night at 9 o'clock, after which
came the report to the Court. The three
who held out for conviction were Louns-

reception Of the announcement of the
status Of the jury was anything but fiat
tering to the nine who could not see con-

| preston has been since the close OF the
evidence that the only hope for McQuade
was that the sympathies OF some juror
had been worked on by Newcomb's plea
for his wife and children, or some juror
disguised with and distrustful of informers
Fullgraff and Duffy, had entirely disre.

a will bequeathing to his widow his pro

Saturday she drew 1852. 900 from the
Alpena Bank and came to Detroit, to keep
it away from the lawyers, placing $50, 00(
in the American Exchange National Bank

outcome. The lawyers say she is a miser
and crazy.
