The Sporting Case Hung Up-Achi
Cited for Contempt.
II was nearly quarter to II o'clock
last night when the trial OF W. NJ.
Cunningham, for carrying sporting
gun without q license, ended. It
concluded in a hopelessly divided
jury. Mr.. Peterson rose to address
the jury at 7:4O and spoke for Is
minutes. Mr.. Kinney followed for
the prosecution, speaking an hour
and five minutes. Judge Cooper
took few minutes to instruct the
jury. There was no law point in
volved, he said, aud the law prohi-
bited the Court from advising the
jury as to the evidence. II was
purely q question OF facts which
they had to decide for themselves.
The jury retired at $50 and after
an absence Of an hour and a quarter
returned to report their Disagree
ment. +. F. Bishop the foreman
said there was question with some
jurors as to whether the interest of
the defendant detracted from the
weight OF his evidence. The Court
replied that the defendants evil
dence was entitled to its full weight,
and they must Judge for themselves
between both sides as to the respec-
tive credibility Of evidence that con
tlicted. Then the jury went out to
take another ballot, aud returning
in eight minutes reported that they
still disagreed. They were dis
charged, Judge Cooper, in consider
alton OF the long trial they had sat
through, excusiDg for one day all
who said they wished to be excused.
There were some entertaining
passages between the opposing
counsel. Mr.. Kinney twitted Mr.
Creighton for constituencies when
the Holomua was mentioned as
having prejudged the case. As a
reprisal Mr.. Creighton tried TO get
in q citation Of the Advertiser for
contempt on the same ground.
Hugh Galbraitb, a witness from
Eva, caused a humorous sensation
by contradicting Mr.. Kinney in a
reference he made to him.
