The jury went to their room ut 4:lj
Wednesday evening and remained
out all night unable to agree, three
being i'm favor of conviction and nine
for acquittal. On Thursday morning
at q O'Clock, the jury still being out,
they were sent for Ivy Judge Mayors
in the absence of the counsel for the
State. and asked if they had agreed.
ON replying that they had not. Judge
MavcrS ordered them back to their
room. telling them that they had the
rest of the year in which to make up
their verdict. The jurymen were al
ready worn out with their long con-
tncmcnt. and being led to believe by
what the Judge had said that they
would he confined indefinitely unless
they agreed. the minority soon gave
in. and at half past 9 Il verdict was
brought in of not guilty.

The special correspondent of the
Times Democrat, Mr.. Oliver Clifton,
the courageous individual who called
Rodelick Gambrcll liar after he was
dead, SAYS in his closing report of the
Hamilton trial, that the verdict of
not guilty "mcctS the unqualified dp-
prOr0I of Judge MaycrS.' We heard it
repeatedly asserted while attending
the trial in Brandon that Judge May
erS was just as much of Il Hamilton
partisan as his paid attorneys or his
old law partner, Governor Lowry, hut
knowing him as we thought we did,
we diScrcditcd such idea, despite the
many circumstances that were cited
in its support. From this bold an
nounccmcnt of Mr.. Clifton, however,
who was i'll IL position to know where
eff he speaks, it seems that the charge
that Hamilton was tried before Il
Judge who desired his acquittal was
only too true.
