The jury stands about where 1t stood
"a hours ago. Reports vary from nine
for the death penalty to three for ac-
quittal to II for death and one for ac-
quittal. The one juror holding out for
Luetgert is Harley, and it is thought
that if he would change front there
would be little time lost i'm arriving at
verdict. Juror Holabird is also cred
tied with favoring the acquittal of the
prisoner, but it is thought he will come
around quickly if Harley could be in
duced to vote for conviction.
The feeling among the jurors VINO
are in favor of the death penalty is
against Harley, and they have done
some very plain talking to him. At
one time yesterday they even sent for
Judge Tuthill to know, among other
things, If IL men could compel one man
to vote with them, or IL a verdict would
be valid if but II men signed it. This
is the incident that gave to the state
the idea that there was but one man
standing between Luetgert and his
| death sentence.
There is very little thought now of
anything but a disagreement. 1t is
the general opinion that Harley will
prove firm to the end, and he may keep
Holabird with him. The state is now
looking for a disagreement, having
small hope that Harley win agree ia
/ a conviction, and certainly not the
| death penalty. The state attorney is,
Fowever, confident that the jury will
be with him to the extent Of ten to two
or II to one. 81 viii have ten of them
sure" he said, "If a disagreement Is
the result Of the trial the case win be
tried again as soon as possible"

an old, venerable looking man, accompanied
by woman of much younger appearance

carried a large satchel, the woman's arms
were laden with bundles in newspapers and

presented themselves at the Office of Chief
Burgess Tabor and the man, who gave the
name of James Cain, made application for a
nights lodging for the party. He said the
woman was his wife and the child his SON
He produced papers showing he was veteran
Of the rebellion and stated that he served
four years in battles with the
Union army In his head he
carries a silver plate that replaces
part of his skull which was carried away
by shell at Spottsylvania Cain said that
several weeks ago he started from his home
in Catawissa with his wife and child to visit
friends at Columbia, Lancaster county, in the
hope that he might secure some employment
at the latter place, but was disappointed.
While at Columbia he was taken i'll and the
money he paid to doctors reduced his capital
to such an extent that be was obliged to pay
car fare only part way on the return trip.
The party got as far as Mauch Chunk and
was footing it the rest of the way. They
spent Tuesday night at Mahanoy City and
Chief Bowman secured lodgings for them
Through the assistance of Chief Burgess
Tabor and Mr.. John P. Williams they were
assured supper and lodgings last night and
a breakfast this morning. To-day they re-
sumed their journey to Catawissa
