Estate as It Is Set Forth.

The hearing in the case of Or. An
drew Z, Burr, charged with habitual
drunkenness, was finished shortly after
noon yesterday and at 2.20 o'clock the
case was given over to the considera-
tion of the jury.
The evidence offered Yesterday was
about the same as that which had been
given during the entire hearing After
the evidence was all in counsel for each
side was allowed forty minutes. by
agreement, in which to sum up and
make arguments.
Commissioner Hawley's charge 20
the jury was an impartial one. In
substance he said Although consid-

did not necessarily conflict Both might
be right Witnesses who swore that
they met him when he did not show
that he had been drinking could not
be said to contradict witnesses who
testified to seeing him on other ocea-
sionS when he was drunk.
The jury was ont little over two
hours, and then returned a verdict that
