ON TRIAL FOR BURGLARY,

Frank lIaAdnmS Cnss-A Hung JuEy.
Other Circuit Court Proceedings,
Both parts Of the Circuit Court were
in session yesterday, The case to which
the most interest attached was that Of
the State vs., Frank McAdams, Harry
Christlieb and sYankp Kinney, indicted
for burglary, which was put on trial in
Part II before Judge Campbell. These
three are believed 10 have been the
thieves who on the night Of July 20 last
made quite q general raid on the Island,
They worked q half dozen or more places
and carried of q number OF articles,
none OF which, however, had any special
value. The Fesidence OF Capt, Ed.
Muhleman was the only one broken into
on this raid, the theits at the other
places consisting Of the taking away Of
hRmmocks and other small articles lett
outside,
Colonel Arnett appeared for the de,
Tense and Prosecuting Attorney Howard
for the State, A plea Of not guilty was
entered after demurrer 10 the indict,
ment had been made and oyerrpled, and
an exception taken. The defense asked
for q severance, and this being granted
McAdams was hFst put on trial before Q
Jury composed Of Mark Miller, Peter
Bachman, Henry Conant, John Bowling,
H. H. Hartman, A. D, Garden, Peter
Wendell, Oliver Morrow, Fred Nephardt,
Patrick Weir, Louis Holsohe and j, L,
NeuhaIdt. The case was given 10 the
Jury about 5 O'Clock, and they were out
till nearly 0 O'Clock last evening when
they had not been able to agree and did
not think they could agree. Judge
Campbell thought Q night spent Id each
others company might result In YER
dict, and ordered Sheriff Steenrod To
quarter them for the night. They were
marched of to the Stamm In q very dis
gusted frame OF mind.
Colonel Arnets In his argument con,
tended that the prosecution had not
shown that Captain Muhleman's house
was entered in the night, and that until
that was proved no burglary was proved,
and that . verdict OF petit larceny was all
thar could be returned. II is supposed
that that was one oithe points onwhich
the jury hung.
The case Of the State vs.. Charles
LuChlin, indicted for cruelty to .anl'
mails, was called in Part II and the de.
PENDANT pleading guilty fine OF S20and
costs was imposed.
The case Of the State VS., John Moat.
han, indicted for burglary, was also call.
ed In Part II. Monahan is the man who
broke into a shed at the B. 80. yards
aud stole some tools. He was willing to
plead guiltysto petit larceny and that
being accepted, he was sentenced to 80
days imprisonment.
