DISAGREEMENT PREDICTED.
Jury in Bermuda Filibuster Case Sends in
 a Sealed Verdict.

Jury in Bermuda Eilibusfer Case Sends in
 a Sealed Verdict.
 New York, July 1.-At the opening of the United States court this morning Lawyer Lewis of counsel for the defence of J. D. Hart, Mate Murphy and Col onel Nunez, accused of having aided and abetted military expedition to no witnesses would be examined for the defence and then began summing up. He said there was no denial that arms and ammunition were shipped on the Bermuda nor that the men were taken aboard, but the fact that this was done did not, he asserted consti- tute a crime under the statute upon which the indictment was based. The crime charged against the defendants was aiding a military expedition and the sole duty of the jury was to deter mine without a reasonable doubt whether the ammunition and men were so taken from this country to Cuba as to constitute a military expedition.
 Tn concluding MT. Lewis said that the expedition was not a military one in any sense. Counsellor Rubens fol- lowed in argument for the defence. When the summing up for the defence was concluded United States Attorney Macfarlane addressed the jury. He argued that the Bermuda did take out a military expedition in March last and reviewed the testimony at length, grouping the various transactions in connection with the vessels voyage as showing a breach of the law. MT. Mac farlane said that it would be a dis honorable thing for the United States and it's courts and jurors to neglect to enforce the law which the defendants were charged with violating.
 The jury retired at 3:30. After de- 1iberating for several hours the jury handed in a sealed envelope containing the result of their deliberations to deputy marshal, Judge Brown having gone home. The envelope will be open cd to-morrow It is the general opinion of those interested that the jury has failed to agree. During the interval of waiting for the jury's verdict Colonel Nunez was arrested on another charge of violating the neutrality laws. His hail was fixed at s2,500 pending his ex- amination on July 8. Bail was fur- nished. Under the new charge Nunez ;s accused of having. with Captain Charles B. Dickman, taken an expedi- tion from this port to Cupa on the steamer Laurada on May last.

Coroner Mix Inquiring Into the Death Q
 John E. Williams.
 The death of John B. Williams, who was killed by the electric cars at Whit ney park, Centerville, Tuesday evening, was made the subject of an investiga- tion by Coroner Mix yesterday. Medi- cal Examiner Joslin of Hamden report ed the case to the coroner early yester- day morning, who immediately began to make inquiries. The names of sew eral passengers who were on the car at the time of the accident were secured by the coroner.
 Yesterday afternoon Motorman w. R. Thompson of Grove street. Fair Haven, and Conductor D. B. Mckay, were be- fore the coroner. The former told how he had seen the horse just ahead of him as he was en route to the city on Tuesday evening. The horse was al- most clear Of the track, but the wagon was across it.
 He immediately reversed the power and put on the brake, but 1t was then too late. His account of the accident was much the same as published yes- terday morning. Conductor Mckay did not see the accident, but he eorrob- orated the statement of the motorman as to the speed of the car, and also as to the work of extricating the unfortu- nate man from his position under the car.
 The coroner will continue the investi- gation to-day, when those passengers whose names have been learned will be examined. The railroad authorities believe that Williams was asleep when the accident occurred. Superintendent Dodge do6A@t think that blame can be attacked to the motorman.
