JURORS At THE THEATER
The Bruner Twelve Taking
In the Sights.
THEY VISIT STOCKWELL'S.
Unable to Agree, They Go Out to See the
Town in Charge Of Deputy
Harry Piper.
THEY VISIT STOCKWELL'S.

When 10 o'clock came yesterday there
was the usual crowd around Judge Wal
lace's court. which. since the commence
ment Of the Bruner trial. has become Gus
tOmary.
The jury in that case. however, failed to
report. and nothing was heard Of it save its
movements TO and from the Bald win Hotel
until late ia the afternoon.
At that time it was understood that the
members reached the conclusion that it
would be impossible to agree on verdict
and sent to ask Judge Wallace to discharge
them. Judge Wallace declined and the jury
remained locked up. But only for a short
time did it remain under lock and key.
Unable to agree upon verdict in the
Doodle case. the jury is putting in its time
attending theater parties and otherwise en-
joyng itself.
Since Monday night the twelve good men
and true should, according to the instrue-
ti0ns of the court, be infesting some secluded
sp0ttrying to hatch out a verdict.
But this isn't that kind Of a jury. Last
night each one Of the twelve jurors, armed
with pass and bag of peanuts, crossed
over from their private rooms in the Bald
win Hotel and occupied front seats at
Stock welPs Theater.
The men were in charge OF Deputy Harry
Piper. and they all thoroughly enjoyed the
show. The verdict business Is altogether
too slow for this jury. 1t wants something
more speedy.
These are the men who comprise the
Bruner jury:
Julius Bandmann, William Bowers. Ga
briel Cohen, Charles S. Coy. George Haas,
A. M. Jellison, S. M. Kennedy, A. B. Ma
gulre, +. A. Mccarthy, Thomas c. Rivers,
A. W. Starbrp. William Sutton.

In grave deliberatlon on case involving
the honor Of thu State of California is ap-
parently not consistent with jury duty.
Going to the theater is much more pleasant,
and besides the time glides By much faster
Ii Is not probable that this jury will ever
agree upon verdict. If II did the an
nouncement would put stop to the enjoy
ment of the men in elaboration.
Instead OF 0beying the law this jury has
been going through the regular programme
of party of tourists. The men occupy
separate rooms at the Baldwin, visit the
theater in the evening and then have a quiet
little lunch after the performance.
hen the theater pals 1t would not be q
bad idea to organize party and show the
gentlemen through Chinatown.
This would help TO while away the even
ings at rapid rate. and il time hung heavy
daytimes the deputy could engage a coach
and haul his jurors to the ball game.
The oath administered to the Deputy
SherlH ID charge OF the jury by the clerk of
the court is substantially a S follows:
You do solemny swear that you VIII take this
jury TO some quiet place ana Keep them together.
suffer no person TO speak communicate with
them, or speak or communicate with them your
sell on any subject connected with the trial
unless by permission of the court; to so keep
them together until they shall have agreed upon
averdict, and when they shall have so agreed
return them into court so help you God.
In the meantime the public waits for a
verdict which will probably be rendered
when the jury is surfeited with sightseeing,
unless 1t agrees TO disagree.
