fess that had he had known Harley
record with reference to the Doodie scan
dal of the County Board, Harley would
never have been permitted to serve on the
Jury.
Juror Behniller is butcher by occnpa-
tion and keeps a meat market at Des-
PLANES, suburb town. at one time he
was a customer of Luetgert and puf-
chased sausage from him. This fact was
known, but Behmiller answered with evil
dent fairness that the business relations
he had sustained with the prisoner would
in no wise effect his judgment in the
convinced that the matter Of procuring a
along too vigorously. Only~one week was
aeftine oeslI1, @' the i,rv was under way it was
tbongbt +ha case would not take over
tbree weeks in its trial. The tedium of
the case was not fully realized.
Al ten O'clock the hour set last night
bx Ind@e .il Tuthiii for convening his court,
one baiIiff was the solitary occupant of
the the room. A few minutes before this sew
oval baiIiffs elected all newspaper men
from the court, saying they had been in
structed to do so by the Judge. 1t was
reported that the Jury would again occupy
the big courtroom while their own room
was being 'cleaned up But as the ne
cessity for this was not apparent, the
rumor ran about that the jury was to re-
port.
Judge Tuthill appeared at the Criminal
Court Building al a few minutes after ten
O'clock, and when the door of his room
was opened for him about a dozen re-
porters lodged in. Before the bailiffs
could close the door half hundred men
made a rush for the court room. They
were hardly seated before a half dozen
bailiffs again cleared the room. The Judge
Immediately retired to his private cham
ber, but none of the lawyers followed
him. 1t is the general impression that the
Judge will bring the jury into the court
room and INQUIRE of them the prospect of
agreeing on a verdict, or whether they
desire any further information or instruc-
ton The verdict itself must be delivered
in open court
Judge Tuthill called the jury into court
at 1920 A. NJ. From neighboring win
dow Juror Harley was seen shaking hands
with other Jurors and it was then be
lieved that q verdict had been reached.
Ten minutes later the Judge sent for the
back elevator in the building and into
court
A few minutes after the Jury came INTO
the court ROOM state Attorney Deneen
and Attorneys vincent ana fhalen hur-
~riedly pushed their way tnrough the
crowd and were admitted to the court
room.
1t was the general OPINION at eleven
o'clock that the Judge Is giving me lury
