The jury went out at 4:3O o'clock and
gave its verdict at 10 80. The members
of the jury declined to say what kept them
so long, or why number of persons who
were compromised by the testimony were
not held to the grand jury. The prepara-
ton of their verdict took NEST of their
time, no doubt, and some discussion of the
culpability of the lesser persons in the
conspiracy took the remainder of the six
hours they were in session.
While waiting for the verdict three or
four deputy coroners were busy writing
mitti,nuses and at least dozen were pre-
pared. This created the suspicion that q
large number of arrests would be made,
and the appearance of two or three dep
