A Peculiarly Unfortunate Case

Mr.. Edward G. Pursel. of the dry goods
firm of Harmed. Pursel & Van Maur, of
Davenport. is in very critical condition
from a wound inflicted the day before
Christmas. He was cutting piece of
pasteboard. which overlsid q thin piece Of
pine, with sharp knife. The point of
the knife lodged in the pine. and Mr.
Pursel gave it qWick, strengthful jerk
which not only drew out the knife. but
turned its point with such force that it
was thrust deep into the right groin. The
wound was not considered dangerous at
drst. but Inflammation get in, and entire
ly closed it, stopping suppuration. A
council of physicians has been held. says
the Democrat Gazette. The conclusion
was that amputation must be resorted to
to save life-and then the chance for re-
oovery will be very narrow, because of

Judge Berry's Charge.

Gentlemen of the jury: Afte- the dis
cussion in this case, the careful, able and
full summary of it that has been given by
the counsel on either side you may not in
fact desire to hear anything from the
court, but the law imposes upon me the
duty of delivering to you the same thing TO
some extent in the nature of charge. l
am permitted by the statute to state to you
the evidence if / were disposed to recount
the evidence, and to declare the law to you
also; but l must not charge you in respect
to matters of fact. / say it would be
proper If were so disposed, to recount to
you the evidence, but not to pass judgment
upon it, or to make any comments upon it,
but that is the province of the counsel, and
they have performed their duty most ably
and carefully; it is their province to re-
count to you the facts in the case, and to
comment upon the facts; the court will
omit that. OF the facts in the cass you are
the exclusive judges The defendant in a
criminal action is presumed to be innocent
till the contrary is proven, and in case ora
reasonable doubt as to whether he is guilty
or until his guilt is satisfactorily shown
he is entitled to acquittal.
The facts constituting the alleged offence
in this case are comparatively few and the
evidence bearing upon these facts you will
remember As to many OF the facts there
is no question made by the evidence, nor

The Case Closed.

At this juncture the defense rested and
the case was closed. Thejury was excused
for fifteen minutes, and upon filing into
court again the arguments began. The
opening argument was delivered by J. n.
Kimball, for the defense. MIR. Kimball was
followed by H. w. Smith, for the prosecu-
ton. This gentleman delivered one of the
most able and eloquent arguments ever
listened to in the Oneida county court
house. Mr.. Smith. was followed by j. L.
Rawlins, for the defendant Mr.. Rawlins
occupied the floor for over one hour. His
speech had considerable weight with the
jury. At the conclusion of Mr.. Rawlins'
argument District Attorney Standrod
commenced the closing argument. This
gentleman occupied the attention of the
jury for nearly two hours, and his argument
was both able and eloquent. Judge Berry
then delivered his charge to the jury. The
attorneys for the defendant were very
much surprised when the judge completed
the delivery of his charge. They had made
up their minds that the charge would be
strongly and forcibly brought against their
client.

It Goes to the jury.

The case was finally given to the jury at
1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. They were
placed under the protecting wing of the
deputy sheriff, and nothing more was heard
of them until 8 o'clock at night, when Judge
Berry was informed that the jury desired
to report, The judge took his seat, and
the twelve men filed into the jury box.
Upon being asked by the court for their
report, the foreman opened by saying:
I'VE have not agreed upon a verdict,
your honor"
rs there any reasonable prospect of you
agreeing upon a verdictsn
mo, sir.''
"You are aware, gentlemen, that these
cases are extremely expensive to the
county. What do you think, Mr.. Fore
man, do you think that there is any posi-
BILE chance of you coming to any agree
mentsn
''Your honor, 1 think there is no possible
chance of US agreeing
Gentlemen, you are of course thought
full and reasonable men. Men are at all
times likely to look at things in different
light There is no doubt but that it wol Id
be useless to try to keep you together.
Under the circumstances, and under the
somewhat peculiar tone of your foreman, it
may be doubtful whether you would be able
to agree. While l dislike to do it, will
say, gentlemen, that you are discharged
from further attendance upon this court. l
believe you have all endeavored to fully IN
derstand this case You may apply to the
clerk for your certificates
A smile rippled over the faces of the de
PENDANT, his attorneys and others, and the
large number of persons who were in the
courtroom at the time, filed down the stairs
and into the street to discuss the matter one
with the other.
The HERALD man learned that the jury
stood seven for conviction and five for &C
quittal.
Court was adjourned until Tuesday
morning, September 10, when the conspir-
acy cases will be taken up. 1t is thought
there will not be sufficient time to try
these cases during the present term.
