THE JURY HUNG
The COIored Juror Held Out for Neve1s-
Jury stood II to 1.

Inc CoIOred Juror Held Out for Novels
Jury Stood IL L.
After being out just fifty hours the
jury in the Novels case was discharged
at noon today, the jurors being unable
to come to unanimous verdict
The jury was composed of eleven
white men and the twelfth was James
Jordan, a North Topeka colored man.
On the first ballot the Jury stood II to 1
for conviction. Jordan alone voted to
acquit his colored brother. During the
m any long hours every pressure and ar
gument was brought to bear upon Jor-
dan, but he refused to be converted to
the other side
When the jury was called in at noon
today Judge Hazen asked:
Gentlemen of the jury. have you
agreed upon verdict"
I'VE have not, your honor" replied
foreman William Reeder.
Judge Hazen then discharged the
jurors from further consideration of the
case, realizing that verdict was an i'm
possibility. He expressed considerable
regret that the jury should hang, as the
case has been not only long and tedious,
but has been a great deal of expense to
the county.
J
to JOURNAL reporter Immediately after
discharge, "We stood eleven to one for
conviction after the first ballot The
cOlored man held out We thought
maybe if we treated him right and ar
gued with him we could get him over to
our way of thinking. We treated
him like a gentleman all the way
through, and went over all the evidence,
arguing every point. The colored man
kept saying, 4 believe way down in N y
heart that Nevels is guilty. but the evil
dence didn't prove it, and we couldn't
get him to vote with us. All of the rest
of the jurors were unanimous for YER
dict of murder in the first degree"
1t was rumored Immediately after the
standing of the jury became known that
Jordan was a cousin of Judge Jami-
son, one of the attorneys for New
els When asked If this were true,
Mr.. Jamison replied, "If Mr.. Jordan is
my cousin, don't know it."
County Attorney Stafford and the sher-
if look upon the verdict as
a victory, notwithstanding that the
jury hung. They say that additional evi-
dence is constantly coming to light
which duplicates Novels more deeply in
the plot to murder Mrs. Matson.
Thus ended the most remarkable MUIR
der trial in the history of Shawnee Co. The
murder was the most brutal on record in
this section of the state.
Nevels was re- committed to the county
jail and will be tried again at the Sep
tember term of the district court The
jury was composed of the following
men:
William Reeder, foreman. c. G. Wag-
ner, c. w. Wright. j.. w. Keck, A. Nj.
i. Claudy. Jerome Long, A. c. Hayes,
Jacob Harris. ]. M. Crockett, A. II.

WHAT JUDGE FOSTER SAYS.
He Makes a Statement of the History {
the Matter,


He Makes n Statement of the History of
the Matter.
Judge Foster was seen at his homo
this afternoon by JOURNAL reporter.
These things are not pleasant" he
said, 'but Major Hudson's attacks had
gone on until l couldn't stand them any
longer. l propose to try the case in
court and not in the newspapers, and
l have only this to say, that
so far as my official actions are concern
ed, everything has been done in the
broad, open light of day, in proper and
conscientious manner There has been
nothing to conceal, and 1 invite and
challenge a thorough investigation of
my official acts. Major Hudson will now
have a chance to prove his charges
against him.
Last week I served formal notice on
Mr. Hudson that his editorial in the Cap
ital Of Sunday, June 2. was false and
libelous, and demanded a retraction
within three days. Of course he paid no
attention to the notice. AS everyone is
aware Mr.. Hudson has been full of ven :
ON and malice towards me for years, and
! it has all grown out of a case in which
did only my duty.
"Complaint was made to me by liti-
giants in my court that the Capital was
making serious and fatal errors in pub
fishing legal notices, and was making
overcharges in printers fees. l had to
look into the matter and found that the
complaints we're we'll founded. l or
dered the clerk to give Mr. Hudson no.
tice TO retax the fees for printing certain
notices. found that Hudson had charged
$40 in each case of excessive fees. l or
dered the fees returned TO the clerk
within a certain time. That Hudson re-
fused to do. When the grand jury met
I five years ago, composed of twenty one
as good citizens as there are in Kansas.
selected in the usual manner, the matter
was investigated and an indictment was
returned on sixteen counts for embeZ-
zling money. Hudson refused to fight
the case on its merits, but hired attor-
neys to contest it on technical grounds.
Judge Caldwell set the indictment aside
on legal bubble, and there the matter
dropped so far as 1 was concerned And
this was the great victory the major
writes so much about
st is very common thing for the
court to retax overcharges in fees,
! whether against the publisher or the
witnesses and attorneys. 1t seems un-
| fortunate that fees cannot be retaxed
from Major Hudson without the court
being vilitied and abused through his
paper"
Judge Foster was selected to the fed
eral bench March 10, 1874, to succeed
Mark W. Delahay, who was the father of
Mrs. Thomas A. Osborn.

CALEDONIA. Mo-, May 4. 1895.
Mr. EditOr-I have just returned to
spend Sunday with my daughter. and
have bad my attention called to an
open letter in the REGISTER. 1 want
to say in reply. have never carried
message of any kind for any attorney
of the railroad. have never been in
the rooms of either Mr.. Flanagan or
Phelps, neither at this or the regular
session. although the Post Dispatch says
to the contrary voted against the
printing of 2500 copies of the Cover
nor's message. thinking 500 enough.
and for this vote the Post-Dispatch says
left the party. l voted for the cleo
tiOn bill. spoke for it. and it received
every Democratic vote and six Repub-
lican votes. l voted to take from the
Committee on Appropriations the bill
appropriating money to pay the expen-
ses OF this extra session. We did take
! it from that committee, and passed it.
For this the P.-D. calls me traitor to
my party; and calls the result a sue
cess or victory for the combine, as
they are pleased to call US. And when
l say us, l mean men who have the
courage to act, without consulting the
Governor or the Post Dispatch. Do
you see anything wrong in my course
as far as have given you it? Well,
that is every vote we have cast which
has any significance. l voted at the
regular session for the Fellow-Servant
bill; am ready now to pass any gener-
al bill applicable to all dangerous oc-
4
pass such bill. The Governor has
said in his proclamation to pass bill
relating to railroads alone. but he can
not do that; can no more do it than he
could call us together to elect Charles
H. Jones e. S. Senator. He can name
the subjective take care of it. l
mean to vote for a resolution favoring
free silver, one resolving that the Gov
ernOI of State is the executive and
not the law-making power, and then
vote to adjourn. hope to cast all these
votes by the time this reaches your
readers, and am satisfied the last men
toned vote is the most important Of
the lot. and that my constituency will
sustain me in that declaration.
My duty is, as l see it, and will
be sure to do; I will do it, not for fear
of the REGISTER, or any other newspa-
per. but will do it because my courage
will not allow me to do anything else.
l am trying hard to honestly represent
the general interest of my district, and
when the record is made can meet the
editor of the REGISTER before any
crowd, anywhere in the district, and
be sustained. The REGISTER has
right to criticise my official acts, but
not to impugn my motives before the
act. And, Mr.. Editor. your heretofore
'.independent character" would have
warranted me in the belief that your
faith in me would be shaken only by
evidence. The free advertising in the
P-D. am in no way responsible for.
The Governor says there is no princi-
pie in "Fellow-Servant bill" Now,
you remember, that s'honest men" can
honestly differ upon questions wherein
there is no principle involved. Say to
my constituency l am On the ground
AMI from my s'point of view" think l
am right. Respectfully,
W. r. GOoDYKooNTz.

THE Indebtedness of this country is,
in round numbers. forty billions of dol
lars. The interest on this immense
amount at per cent. per annum is
two billions of dollars. This debt and
this interest must be paid by the pro-
ducing classes of this country. 1t is
their debt. By the demonetization of
silver it was increased to sixty billions
dollars, and the annual interest to
three billions of dollars. Wall street
organs, in discussing silver. steer clear
of this branch of the discussion. Keep
it in mind that this debt must ulti-
mately fall upon the producer. What
wonder that there is unrest and uneasi-
ness among this class of our citizens?
