MAY NOT AGREE
Luetgert Jury Out So Long
That Disagreement Seems
Almost Certain.
Is Said to Now Stand Eight
for Conviction and Four
for Acquittal.
Only Break to the MOnotpnous
Wait Was a Kick for
Better Food.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The jury in the
Luetgert case will probably disagree.
After being out 80 hours the probabil-
tiles of reaching a verdict are not
bright. The greatest interest is shown
in the case and thousands of people are
waiting around the criminal court
building to hear the result. The mo-
aotony of the weary waiting for the
verdict was broken at noon by the ar
rival at the courtroom of Judge Tut
hill He had been sent for by States
Attorney Deneen. The states attorney
said that several of the jurors were
complaining about the breakfast that
mad been served them and to see if
the judge could not guarantee
better dinners. The judge did
not call the court to order but retired
to his private room where he had con-
sultation with Judge Vincent and the
states attorney. The consultation in
the judges room lasted some time. At
its conclusion Mr.. Deneen said it had
been agreed to adjourn for several
hours. Baiiff Connor, it was under
stood, Srought to the judge the infor-
nation that the jury had not agreed
and that there were no prospects of a
verdict for some time. Some Of the
jurors complained of the food that was
sent them in the morning. Judge Tut
hill remarked shat under the old laws
Jurors had to be satisfied WITH bread

and water But he directed tnaE good
substantial dinner be served them. He
said ii, they did not agree during the
afternoon he would keep them out all
night again.
Said Eight Are For Conviction.
At 1880 o'clock States Attorney De-
neen informed the Associated Press
that the latest and best information ho
had on the attitude of the jury was
that eight stood for conviction and the
infiction of the death penalty, and that
four were holding out for acquittal.
The jurors, in addition to a special
dinner order, asked Judge Tuthill,
through the bailiff, if he would not al
low them box of cigars. The ju0ge
studied moment or two and then
good naturally ordered that the weeds
be sent in along with the dinner.
Several Of the jurors were SO over
come with fatigue by noon that they
could scarcely keep their eyes open.
They com planned of the cramped con-
dition of the little jury room. 1t was
intimated to the court that if they
could be allowed more ample quarters
and little rest after dinner they would
feel more like discussing their verdict
Judge Tuthill decided to do everything
in his power to accommodate the IL
men and ordered dozen cots sent over
to the criminal court from the Revere
House opposite. 1t was also decided to
permit the jurors to remove their cloth
ing and get . few hours sleep and rest
after which it was believed they would

Our wooden manufacturers thus know

The Mckinley rates on woods and

justified themselves. 1t Is fact that
under them our woolen industry in
