CONVICTION.
Tho Ex-Justice Fails to Secure Bail.
Dennis and Jacob Again Arrested.
New Cases and Court Notes.

Heace LOCKWOOD must have been In q
| very anxious state of mind. The jury
! in his case stayed out all day. It was
known that eleven had stood for convic-
tion on every ballot. One man alone
prevented a verdict of guilty being
brought in. BY the order Of the Judge
the jury were brought in, and up
on being questioned by the court az
to whether it was question of law or
fact that they were unable to agree
upon, one of the jurors replied that it
was a question of fact in regard to one
Of the jury. They were allowed to de-
liberate for several hours more, and
having failed to reach verdict at 5
O'Clock, Judge Smith discharged tine
jury.
Lockwood was remanded into Gus
tody, however, and failing to Sc
cure the necessary bail of $4,000,
was locked up in the county
jail, where he doubtless met several
whom he had once upon time ban
ished to the same institution. It was
reported that the juror who held out was
Tony Bland.
During the afternoon a man, whose
name is reported to be Adams, made
some disparaging remarks about Lock-
woods character. The exjustice of the
peace heard the remark, and hit his an
tagonist in the mouth. Further hostili-
ties were stopped by spectators.
DENNIS AND JACOB AGAIN ARRESTED.
The argument in the demurrer to the
writ of prohibition in the charges
brought by Jennie Marshall against
Jacob Taylor and Dennis " Brien, charg-
ing them with abduction and perjury,
respectively. occupied the best part of
the day in Judge Wade's court yester-
day. The lawyers certainly earned their
salaries for their numerous quotations
from the code, but it was rough on
those compelled to listen to the argu-
ment for several hours.
Judge Wade overruled the demurrer,
and gave the attorneys until this morn
ink to prepare an answer.
just as Taylor and OBrien were leav-
ing court they were served with papers
again charging Taylor with abduction
and O'Brien with perjury. This was an
wholly unexpected move. Taylor and
| O'Brien were remaRded into the custody
Of the sheriff, bnt finally gave the nec-
essary bail.

Experience goes to prove that there is

vile does not trust her husbands judg-
ment at all than when she trusts it too
much. II Atchison Globe.
