TWO MIDDLEBURY MEN ON THE HODGDON

TWO MIDDLEBURY MEN ON THE HODGDON
ARSON CASE.
Two Middlebury men, Eli Bronson and
George R. Griswold, served the govern
ment as members of the jury before
whom Capt Hodgdon of Springfield Wa !
on trial for completely with one Cook 1t
an attempt to burn the Tontine hotel al
New Haven. At o'clock Friday after.
noon the jury reported for the sixth time
that they were in disagreement hope
lessly On the question Of a verdict and
Judge Roraback discharged them and
ordered an adj )urnment of court for the
term. Ten ballots we're taken in the
Jury rom, the Fl rst showing s jurors for
conviction and 4 for acquittal, and the
remaining ballots standing to 3. The
three men who stood by their convictions,
that the prosecution had not proved its
case, during 20 hours siege were, An
drew T. Doolittl3 of Bethany; D Waite
Patten of North Haven, and George r.
Griswold of Middlebury. The last one,
Mr. Griswold, according to the New Hav-
en- Pc II adium, stated that he would not
place himself in the way of an agree
ment at any time that the other two
h Il SrFht Hn 70
change their minds, but that so long as
they would hold out, he would stay with
them. Charles Hawkins of Oxford was
the fourth man on the original lot.
The nine men who stood for conviction
were: AlonZo Adams, Ge orge R. John
son of Cheshire; George L. Andrews of
Hamden; Eli Bronson Of Middlebury
George S. Jeffrey of Meriden; John T.
Clark of Orange; Samuel A. Nettleton of
Milford; E. B. Harger, of Oxford, and
Charles Hawkins. The length of time
that this jury stayed out on the case, 20
hours, is the longest recorded for many
years in this court. The jury in the Lee
case one year aga deliberated 10 hours.
In 1879 the Hayden jury wfs out for
three days. By 8 80 Friday morning the
/ members of the jury had been fed at the
expense of the state of Connecticut &C
cording to the promise of Judge Rora-
back, and were at work again on the
case. The court officers were on hand
at 10 o'clock and formally opened the
session. Twenty minutes later the II
men filed in and asked for a re-reading of
| the portions of the charge referring to
the testimony of an accomplish, and that
of the accused. At II o'clock Foreman
| Bronson announced that there was nc
possibility of agreement. ALI parties in
terested in the case felt sense of relief
that it was closed, and all left the court
room apparently in good feeling. States
Attorney Williams, who has been fight
ing off an attack of quincy ever since the
trial began, decided at once to take a
trip for recuperation and left town
during the afternoon. At the cit Sc OF
the trial he would not positively say that
he would CT would not bring a new trial,
but Capt Hodgdon's bondsman, Edward
Bishop, renewed his bond of $5, 900, so
that the captain will be on hand at any
| time il he is wanted.
