hope of Overrnling Judge Wilklnson's
ruling in the case. A number of the

correspondent yesterday that the jury
had a hard time to agree upon YER
dict. Several were in favor OF aeQult-
ting him, but as they reviewed the evil
dence elected at the trial, they changed
their convictions, and voted with the
majority. Skiles' conviction has cost
Washington county hundreds OF dollars.
