The baliffs who were to have charge
of the Jury were then sworn to the faith
full discharge of their duty. The jury
men were then taken in charge by the
bailitfs and taken to their room to begin
their deliberations. At 4:35 p. m. the
court adjourned until p. M, 1T which
hour the jury reported to the court that
it was not yet prepared to return ver-

ordered. Thousands of people besieged
the court bailding, and the entire re-
serve police force of the city was called
out to preserve order. As the hour of
10 drew near. the court room again be-
came scene of animation. Anxious
men and inQuisitive women made their
appearance as if by magic. and in a few
minutes the court room which had for
an hour aud a half been almost
deserted was again filled to its utmost
seating capacity. As earlier in the
evening, however, the male portion of
the audience greatly predominated. and

a bailiff entered the court room and
whispered to Judge Mcconnell, and the
two then repaired hurriedly through the
private corridor in the direction OF the
Jury room, where, it was presumed, that
body desired the verbal

return verdict, Judge Mcconnell an
