At O. clock this afternoon, counsel for

alto O'Clock, make formal application be-
fore Judge Tuthill for the admission of
the prisoner to bail. Judge Tuthill will
be asked to fix the amount of bail at $l5,-

When the jurors had received their
vouchers. they were taken down to the
basement in an elevator and LEFT the
criminal court building by way of a rear
entrance to the Jail yard. They left in
squads of four. They did this to avoid
the great crowd that had collected in
front of the building and also to get away
from reporters. But the latter gentlemen
were fully posed on exits and entrances
of the building and met the jurors as they
emerged from the Jail yard.
IT WAS ralnotanflV admitted nv,
of them that the disagreement was
brought about by a wide difference of
opinion regarding the rings found in the

consin town. May 3, and s. Juror Har-
ley did not believe the rings found in the
middle vat of Luetgert's factory were
Mrs. Luetgert's rings. Holabird was in
clined to believe the story of the Kenosha

believe the strong evidence given by the
Schimpke sisters. These were considered
the strong features of the tria by these
jurors.
