Judge Mcconnell Expects an Answer

CRIMINAL Court, CHICAGO, Dec. 16, 2 PM
Judge Mcconnell has just announced that q re-
turn Of some kind will be made by the jury in
few minutes.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16-Judge Mcconnell was
promptly on hand in the court room at 10
o'clock this morning, aud took his seat upon
the bench. The prisoners were not brought in
from the Jail. After waiting until 1880 with
out receiving any communication OF any kind
from the jury Q recess was declared until
o'clock but this hour was subsequently changed
to o'clock. The street outside the building is
packed with the toughest-looking crowd that
has been seen in the city for many day. All
the available members of the reserve police
force are on duty in the neghborhood in plain
clothes. The failure Of the jury to return q
verdict this morning occasions general sur
prise, and has renewed the rumors that one OF
the body has been fixed"
HOW THE PRISONERS FEEL.
The prisoners were all up early this morning,
and had their breakfast at the usual hour.
They were early informed Of the rumored dis
agreement Of the jury and the tenor Of the
verdict. but they did not believe it. Burke
smiled good-naturedly when spoken to about
the verdict
Il don't see how they can fnd it out" said
he. IF that is the verdict and the worst has
come it won't be better by fretting."
Coughlin expressed doubt as to the truth OF
the rumor, O'Sullivan and Beggs had little to
say, and Kunze ioked with the reporter about
the possibility Of getting twenty-five years in
the penltentiary.
