G. B. JEFFERIS FINALLY ACQUITTED
But the Jury Was Out Over twenty
four Hours.
How Sheriff O'Neil Spoiled a Panto-
mimic Exhibition - RumOred
Standing of the Jury.

! George B. Jefferis is again free man.
| the jury in his case having late yesterday
afternoon agreed on a verdict of acquittal,
after having been out little over twenty
four hours.
| District Attorney Ryan occupied the
time of the court on Saturday from $50
o'clock in the morning until after
o'clock in the afternoon in his closing
argument, which was very forcible
presentation of the case. In his charge
to the jury Judge Prewett referred to the
fact that it had not been definitely proven
that Clara Olga Ayres came to her death
by murder, and many of those present
believed the jury would find verdict for
the defendant in very short time.
AS hour after hour passed, however,
and the Jurors remained locked in the
garret of the Courthouse it became evil
dent that at least few of them believed
Jefferis guilty.
About O'Clock in the evening large
crowd gathered on the street opposite the
Courthouse and watched the jurors ex-
citedly arguing the case near one of the
windows. -Four or five of them
gathered about one man and were talk
ing and gesticulating wildly in an en-
deavor to bring him over to their way of
thinking.
Sheriff O'Neil, being informed of what
was going on. dispersed the crowd and
then went to the jury-room and frescoed
the windowpanes with bucket of white
wash.
Jef1eris spent the night in the Sherif's
Office, where two of his sisters kept him
company. When a RECORD UNION re-
porter called there about midnight he did
not appear to be very nervous over the
failure of the jury to agree up to that
time.
There were various rumors on the
street yesterday as to the manner in
which the jury stood, one story being to
the effect that all but one were for ac-
quittal; another that there were two for
conviction, and still another report that
four men voted for verdict of guilty on
the first ballot.
During the trial of the case frequent
reference was made, both in and out of
court, to the failure of George G.. Nc
Mullen to appear as witness until after
the prosecution had put in all it's other
testimony, and when he did return
from Chicago-where he had been de-
tanned as manager of the county exhibit
at the Worlds Fair-he was cited to ap-
pear and show cause why he should not
be punished for disregarding the courts
| order.
After all, Mr.. McMullen's testimony
was very brief and not specially impor-
tant, and the defense did not ask him a
| solitary question. When the case was
concluded on Saturday Judge Prewett
called up the matter of the citation. He
held that McMullen's business should
not have been allowed to interfere with
his attendance at the proper time, and
imposed fine Of 500.

BARN BURNING.
\ Pastime That is Becoming Quite
Too Common.

Too Common.
Another barn was burned about 3
o'clock yesterday morning in the alley
between Twenty and Twenty
ninth, L and NJ streets. 1t belonged to
William II. Dean, whose loss is probably
500, with no insurance.
Chief Engineer Guthrie states that
within the last two months no less than
seven barns have been burned, involving
the loss of more than dozen horses, be-
sides vehicles, harness, hay, etc.
There seems to be little doubt that most,
if not all, of these fires have resulted
fromatramps sleeping in barns, where
they smoke pipes or cigarettes. In one
instance the fellows were so bold as to
even build fire on barn floor. If there
is anything for which wide awake bull
dogs are good for, it should be to shut
them up in barns at night and not over
feed them. agT
