Chicago. Oct. g1.-It IS alleged that
the one juror holding out persistently
for Luetgert Is Harley, and It is thought
that IL he would change front there
would be little time lost in arriving at
q verdict in the celebrated wife-mur-
der case. Juror Holabird is also cred
TIED with fayoring the acQuittal Of the
prisoner, but 1t is thought that he would
come around quickly if Harley could
be Induced to vote for conviction. The
feeling among the jurors who are in
favor of the Death penalty is high
against Herlev, and they have done
some very plain talking to him. At one
time yesterday morning they even sent
for Judge Tuthill to know : ncrs other
things il eleven men -..- 80. II one
man to vote with them, "a =. 4 verdict
would be valid n but eleven men
signed 1t. This is the incident that gave
to the state the idea that there was but
one man standing between Luetgert and
death sentence.
There was considerable excitement
around the court room yesterday morn
ing when the counsel on both sides, the
Judge, the jury and the prisoner met
in the court room and held q secret ses-
sion. excluding everybody. even the re-
porters No one knows all that took
place at the session except those pres
ent, 60 it is not even an established fact
that the jury wanted to know whether
eleven men could coerce the twelfth.
and they would have been very ignorant
American citizens IL they had wanted
Information on that point. The jury
wanted some further instructions, 80 it
Is said, as to the evidence.
They wanted to know how they should
weigh the evidence of Nicholas Faber
and the Schimpke girls, who testified to
seeing Luetgert and his wife enter the
factory the night ce Nav 1. Judge
Tuthiil advised the lat he coul1
not instruct them Cu->crning circuIl-
stances Of fact, of which. under the
law. the jury must he the sole judge. AZ
to this matter it was testified in the
trial that no one not possessed of tele-
SCOPE eyes could SEQ what the Schimpke
girls said they saw at night. And the
witness was reliable and creditabls
one. During the afternoon there was nc

where the jurors were locked UP. At
times loud talking could be heard and
the tones indicated anything but an
atmosphere Of harmony.
There is very little thought now of
anything but a disagreement. 1t is the
general opinion that Harlev will prove
obstinate to the end, and he may keep
aolabird with him. The counsel for
the defense still stick to their assertion
Of coming acquittal. but Attorney
Phalen says disagreement" as often
as he says "acquittal" The state is
now looking for a disagreement, having
small hope thta Harley will agree to a
conviction, and certainly not to the
death penalty. The states attorney il.

with him to the extent OF ten to two or
eleven to one. Il will have ten OF them

but nine will be for the state without

Is the result Of the trial the case will be
