MIR Coard Dryden died at his resi-

THE STAIN-CROMwELL JURY.
Some Particulars of its Deliberations


BANGOR, March ).
! To-day there have been ascertained son e
of the secrets of the jury room, respecting
the deliberations of the Stain-C Cromwell ju-
| ry, during its eleven hour session. When
the jury first went out it was decided to take
an informal ballot, not to mean anything but
so that each man could vote in one way or
the other before entering into discussion of
the case. This was done and it stood II to
for conviction, the only one holding out
being Hon. 5. {. Hatch Of Bangor. Then
there was some little talk about the evidence
introduced and then came the first formal
ballot. To the great surprise of every man,
neither of them knowing how his neighbor
voted on this ballot, there was large ma
jority for acquittal. The examination of the
evidence was then continued and ballots were
taken throughout the day showing no signs
Of an agreement. Early in the evening it
stood to for conviction and remained so
for some time. At 1890 there were no
prospects of any change and word for sent TO
the judge that the jury could never agree.
lo this there was no response and arrange
ments were made TO pass the night in the
room Goats were piled upon the floor and
the men were turning in"
1t was about this time that the famous re
ceipt of the steamer Star of the East, signed
'B. {. Sanborn,' came up for consideration,
and, strange to say, it was this receipht that
finally decided the guilt of the two prisoners.
The Jurors decided that the signature on this
receipt was identical with some of the hand
writing in Stains letters, and two of those
outstanding came around to the conviction
side on one ballot. This left one man for
acquital, and he was Christopher c. Toole
of Bangor. At few minutes after eleven
O'Clock he called for new ballot, it was
taken. the jury agreed, the great suspense
was over and the fate of David l.. Stain and
Oliver Cromwell was sealed The news of
the agreement passed to the deputy sheriff
in waiting, and a messenger at the same in
stant started on the run to notify Chief JUS
tice Peters. The court then came in and
the verdict was announced as stated before.
The chief justice told reporter that he con
sidercd the verdict just one, and rendered
in accordance with the law and the evidence.
He believes the men guilty and considers
the evidence against them remarkably strong.
Stain and Cromwell were very mnch dis
appointed at the result but they have not
yet lost all hope. They think their chance
of getting a new trial is very good

Portland, March b.
The Winslow Packing Co, one of the

this suspension compelled Gen. C. 7. Mat
tocks, its president who is an endorser on 4
large amount of its paper, toassign He has
conveyed all of his estate, real and personal,
to Hiram knowlton and Chas. Dunn, Jr., for
the equal benefit of all his creditors. Nei-
ther of the assgnecs nor Gen. Mattocks felt
at liberty to give any definite statement as to
the extent of the liabilities of the Winslow
Packing Co, but from outside sources they
are known to be heavy.
Paper of the company to the amonnt of
nearly 500 200, is understood to be held in
the national banks of the city. The re-
peated suits brought against the company by
J. Winslow Jones are said to be one of the
causes leading up TO the companys present
embarrassment, while the rather poor busi-
ness of the past year or two brought matters
to a climax
We certainly regret to chronicle the finan-
cial embarrassment of this large and long
established packing establishment. The es-
timated value of the company's factories is

Outside of 800 900 worth of paper in the
banks here, which is secured, very little is
owed by the company to Portland parties.
