Their attempt by the government to secure
convictions in election cases, at least with
the present panel. William Meyers. al
legged to be a minor, was on trial and this
evening the jury came into court and said
there was no possible chance of an agree

would send them back, when Foreman
O'Brien said some of the jury was willing
to convict if they could be assured what
the punishment would be. The court
sharply reproved the Jury for this attempt
to compromise the case, whereupon the
jury retired aud within five minutes re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. The sem
sation in court was tremendous and the
verdict is the talk of the city tonight. 1t
is possible that no more cases will be tried
by the district attorney, although he has
seventy indictments in his hands.
