5 O'Clock, the first Informal ballot STOOD
six for acquittal, five for manslaughter.
and one for murder in the first degree;
the second was eight for acquittal, three
for manslaughter; and the same man.
who afterwards left with a clear con-
science, voted for murder III the first
degree. When the tenth ballot was
taken. the result was nine for acquittal
and three for manSlaughter. This was
the state of the case when. the jury ap-
peared for further instructions. We'd
nesday afternoon the minority was re-
duced to two, and upon the thirteenth
ballot the men stood ten for acquittal
and two for conviction. Yesterday
morning, just before they reported their
disagreement, they had been engaged
for five hours in the most heated ar
gument, and had about succeeded, as
they report, in converting j. n. Wllgus,
who, with Alexander Drake, made
the deuce of contention within the rest.
Mr.. Wilgus hung out. however. until
they reached the jury box, when grasp
ing Mr.. Drake by the hand, he asked
whether they could suffer and stoop to
go over with the others and acquit the
slayer of John Doherty. Mr.. Drake re-
fused to acQuiesce, and now stands
alone among twelve. Mr.. Drake stood
firm upon the just premises of convic-
ton of manSlaughter at least, and not
withstanding that one of the jurors as
serted that an agreement would nave
been reached in the afternoon, Mr..
Drake would never have changed mis-
honest conviction. Mr.. Wilgus was
the first degree.
1t will be remembered that
on the morning the trial began, Judge
Egan made some requests of the court
in regard to the examination of several
jurors who, Mr.. Egan said, he under
stood had been in close association with
the attorney for the defense, and that
between them there appeared to be an
unlawful intercourse and colluSiOn
which the state desired to investigate.
This was blast to the jury stuffing. it
such there was. MIR. Warner became
very Hrathy on this occasion and made
strenuous efforts to shield such jurors,
if such there were. He undertook to
satisfactorily answer the states ques-
took the stand and stood the
fire. Judge Egan and Mr.. Mum
did not press the matter at the time. but
it was then evident that the element of
certain ward of this city was suspi-
ciously large, constituting exactly 25
per cent OF the jury.
The jury was a tired and weary set
when it appeared yesterday morning,
Notwithstanding the great care and at
tention given them by Deputies Cole
and Kinney. These two deputies de-
serve credit for their vigilant and care
tul custody of the jury and their kindly
watchfulness of the jury's wants and
comforts.

IT'S ALL FOR NAuGHT.
The Jury in the Clara Blatz
Case Differ and De-
part.
A Very Singular State Of AZ
fairs Presented by the
Case.
Public Feeling Is Greatly
Wrought Up Over the

Gossip and Talk Indulged in
Not Complimentary to a
Jury.

Probably the greatest shock this come
munity has ever experienced was the
palpable disagreement of the jury in
the Blatz murder case at 1O:S0 o'clock
yesterday morning. They had been out
about forty-eight hours, and when Judge
Kelly arrived in court yesterday MORN
ing and finding no report, he was about
to call another case when the jury were
ushereG into the box. The court
room was crowded with eager
and eXpectant persons anxious
to hear the verdict which the majority
felt sure would be an absolute convic-
ton of one of the two degrees of mur-
der, or at least manslaughter in the
nrst degree. When the jurymen were
seated, the clerk asked: "Gentlemen,
have you agreed upon verdict" "We
have not;" replied Lafayette Shaw. the
foreman and senior member of the jury.
Upon hearing this, Judge Kelly told
the jury that it had been out forty
eight hours. and as it had not agreed in
that time, the prospects were that it
never would agree. He then dis
charged them from further considera-
ton of the case

VILE AND POLLUTED TREsSES.
There Was Absolutely No Legal
and Moral Defense.

Whether right or wrong. as those in
terested nigh have determined, it was
the generally expressed opinion that
in the entire history of the dis
trict court, which dawns in 1S49,
there was never a more eminently
proven case of cOld-blooded murder.
Doherty's killing was proved by a
mountain of undisputed evidence. The
evidence stands Ikea rock of uncOn-
tradicted truth that Doherty was what
the siren made him. He left his coun-.
try home, and. finding lucrative posi-,
ton in st. Paul, like calf united,
sought the pleasures of large city.
Stepping upon the vile and polluted
tresses of the notorious, woman,
net of vice and unholy affection
from which he only attempted
to extricate himself to be shot down
like dog by the woman to whose
charms and exciting habits he had fallen
slave. AS Judge Egan said in his
speech to the jury, there was absolutely
no legal or moral defeuse to the case,
and the defendant virtually admit
ted the crime, its motive and
its manner of commission. The
last resort of a guilty murderess
was the hackneyed insanity racket.
All the sophistry and force of polished
oratory could not have kept the shallow
and groundless plea, in this case, buoy
ant against the
OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE
of the state. The prisoner was declared
insane by The defense, and yet she was
placed upon the stand to testify to as
complicated and wonderful narrative
of her life as the most wild and ro-
mantle might boast of. Her memory
was marvelously correct; her recount
ing OF minute incidents during twenty
two years of checkered life was accu-
rate. She recited boldly all that oc-
CURED upon each day, week or month
during the past six years, and then,
halting before the Threshold of her
heinous crime, declared utter oblivion,
Blind, unconscious and dead to ali that
happened on the fatal day, she takes up
the thread Of reason on the following
morning and carries it on without
break OF knot to her very presence in
court. She gave such testimony in
court while being defended upon the
ground that she was then and had been
for eighteen months past an insane and
lascivious woman. Upon her uncor-
roborated story, which only the dead
man could have contradicted, the hypo-
thetical question was framed, and upon
this expert testimony as to her sanity
or insanity was heard. Even upon this
statement there were nine of the most
reputable physicians in the state who
pronounced her perfectly sane OH
the day of the shooting and at
all times before and after. Ii she told
the truth. and her statement was be-
lieved, she was declared sane by this
galaxy of medical talent as against one
doctor for the defense. Judge Egan
called him juggler of words. and in his
speech to the jury blotted out the faint
light of reason or logic which this doc
tors testimony contained. The state
showed where 1t meant nothing III proof
of defendants insanity. There was the
defense, entirely divested OF the i'll and
tattered cloak of insanity. and having
acknowledged all else charged in the
Indictment, what in the name of heaven
did the jury base its conclusion upon?

OUTRAGED CITIZENS.
Singing Rebukes Administered to
the Jurymen.

AS the jurymen left the box there
seemed among them several surprised
and discontented. They had not ex-
pected to get their discharge so sud-
denly. and some of them remarked that
they were confident they could have
agreed by 2 o'clock. The great crowd
that followed the jury out of the court
room was dumfounded, and a menac-
ing look was upon more than one brow.
The excitement was contagious, and
became worse and louder as it spread
through the streets of the city. When
it was positively learned that the jury
ballot actually stood ten for ac-
quittal the cry of indignation went
up over the entire city. AS
the individual jurors scattered
through the court house building they
were accosted from all sides with sting
ing rebuke uttered from the lips of dis
satisfied citizens. The court house
fairly rang with the nervous clamor of
men chagrined at the work of the ten
jurymen.
