MCNEIL WAS DUMB,
Died Without Making any Deposition
In the PlaCk Case

Civil Justice Ambrose Monell's death
materially affects the prosecution of the peo-
pie Jointly indicted with him for participa-
ton in the fraudulent Flack divorce pro-
ceedinRs.
1t was his illness which has been con-
stantly pleaded by Sheriff Flack as o reason
for not moving trial in the indictment
against him, as Justice Mcneil was alleged
to be a highly important witness for the de-
tense.
Had it not been for the Judges illness the
Sheriff would have been brought to the bar
in November. And his trial was again post
poned this month because Judge Mcneil
was unable to testify.
District-Attorney Fellows was seen this
morning but refused to talk about the
Flack case. or the effect Judge Monell's
death Will have on the prosecution until
after the funeral, which will accur at
Assistant Distri t. Attorney G0ff, who has
had charge OF the case il, all the preliminary
tue prosecution. said that probably nothing
will be done until after the holidays.
There will be an extraordinary Court OF
oyer and Terminer next month for the trial
Of Doodle Aldermen casea. and the trial Of
the. Flack indictments may be moved then.
Mr.. Goff said that he understood that
his part in the Flack divorce case. 1t was
suggested to him that he should do 30, but
the suggestion was not needed.
NJ Got. thought that the death of Judge
Mcneil will not hamper the prosecution. but
rather have the effect of fastening the trial
OF the other defendants.
Judge Monell's successor as Civil Justice
for the Seventh Judicial District will be
appointed by Gov. Hill, and the candidates
for the position are legion. having. come into
the field since 1t was known that the judges
illness was to have n fatal termination.
Gov. Hills appointeo will have but a year
to serve, as an election TO fill the unexpired
term viii be held next November. The
salary Is SO, 900,

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. Judge Mcconnell ar
rived at the Criminal Court at 10 O'Clock
this morning.
He was informed by Foreman Clark. OF the
Cronin jury, that they had nothing to COM
municate.
The court then adjourned until Q this
afternoon.
A reporter who succeeded in gaining q
point Of vantage directly opposite the jury
room this morning, surveyed the Cronin
jury with a field glass, and saw much which
indicated the men were very far from agree
ing;
They were scattered about the room. all in
their shirt-sleeves, and most Of them were
engaged in walking for exercise.
Juror Dix was. doing the walking act in
trne, Hamlet style. pacing from north to
south.
Every time he came opposite Foreman
Clark he stopped, put one hand In his pocket
and shook the other in Clark'B fnce, as II
emphasizing u point.
He would then point to the opposite end Of

This pantomime was gone through with
several times.
Tho rest of the Jurors from time to time
walked up to Clark and either looked at him
IN q beaeechlng sort OF .wqy, talking tn him
the while, or waving, their arms in u way
which indicated that they were very much
disGusted at something.
Juror Walker, the Horace Greeley of the
twelve, was very emphatic.
In addition to having his coat off, he wore
no vest and one of his suspenders hung at
his side.
In one of his stridings past the silent
Clark, who seemed absolutely unmoved by
either argument or belligerent attitudes,
Walker stopped at the window next to where
the foreman sat and was soon joined by four
other Jurors, among whom Hall and Coca
could be distinguished.
The group were soon in animated CONVEX
satlnn, with heads very close together.

and evidently ripped out something very
harshly.
There certainly was no balloting, and
conld not have been IN agreement.
When the rep rter left Juror Dix was at
full seminal, kept his eye fixed on the wall
opposite.
