Ais, an Anxious Walter For Juus Return

The jury I'm the McWilliams man
slaughter case did not come in at the
opening of court this morning. The
members were locked up last night,
and though IL was rumored in the cor
ridors before the opening of the court
that there was "A disagreement, every
one expected that Judge Wilbur would
call the jurors in and question them.
His honor disappointed everybody.
AT $3.50 there was a loud knock at the
jurors room back of Judge Wilbur

has charge of the jury. answered IL.
BY this time. though il was pretty gem
orally understood that the jury sto~1
IL to |. and had SO stood for a long time,
IL was not believed the jury was ready
10 come in. The message proved an un-
important one.
The hours went slowly by and "a num-
ber of people waited in the corridors
for some news or for the return OF the
jury The defendant walked anxiously
up and down the hallway and talked
occasionally with friends. His father,
too, was an anxious walter nearly all
day at the court house.
The dinner hour came and went. and
there were no preparations for dinner
for the jury. There was no contrary
report to the one first made that the
Jury stood IL To 1 for conviction. IL
was also generally agreed that there
could not possibly be an agreement.

GARN|SHEE CHARGED.
Decision Of the Court in Case Of
Rogers Against MCKenna.
Agreement Enabled Defendant TO Gain Ad.
vantage Over Creditors.

Judge Tillinghast today handed down
the opinion OF the appellate court on
the appeal i'm the case of James A. Rog-
ers VS.. Daniel h. McKenna from the de-
cision of Judge Rogers i'm the jury trial
waived division 10 the supreme court
The opinion is an important one as it
deals with the validity OF the assign
ment OF wages. Michael Greenan APP
peared as claimant Of the money at
tached and opposed the charging of
the garnishee on the ground that the
money belonged TO him by virtue of an
assignment. Judge Rogers decision was
adverse to the claimant and Judge Til
llnghast and his colleagues sustain
Judge Rogers.
The assignee in this case took all the
assignors wages and after deducting
the price of groceries purchased let the
assignor have money for his rent and
other purposes. The total amount re-
-eeived by the assignee was Ss4.l2 and
Greenan, who had an old claim against
the defendant furnished him with gro
ceries worth s5S.S7. The assignment did
not contain any agreement similar that
alleged to have been carried out
Judge Tillinghast says that the re-
suit of the agreement as carried out
enabled the defendant TO gain an ad-
vantage at the expense OF his creditors
as he received fully one half of the
money assigned the grocer The assign
ment is therefore declared fraudulent
and the garnishee Is charged.

Speculation on Action OF Council Caucus in
Chief Of Police Matter.

sAA iANliAs
Mayor Frank r. Harcourt, secretary
of the park commission. is confined to
his residence BY an attack of bronchial
pneumonia. from which he has been
suffering since Thursday last. This
moininr IL was reported that he was
more comfortable. and il is hoped that
in a few days he will be on the road to
recovery.
There is stil quite lot of quiet talk
around City Hall concerning the action
of the city Council caucus To be held
next Saturday night in regard To the
matter of the chief of police. Messrs.
Baker, child and Long are still in the
fight, and the friends of each are claim
ing a victory. This morning, the Baker
men seemed to be very jubiiant, and
one Of them said that there was no
doubt that the present chief OF police
would reelected without any difficulty.
There seems To be another matter that
will make Saturday evenings caucus
interesting. and that ~ the fact that
Alderman McGann of the Tenth ward,
whose term or services in the city
council expires, is desirous of being
member of the board of fire commits
sioners, to fill the vacancy caused by
the expiration of the term of Dexter
Gorton. who has been i'm office since
1892 1t is said that Mr. Gorton desires
10 succeed himself.
John w. Emory was furnished with
the data that he desired by the MEM
bers of the committee on milk yester-
day, and ii is understood that Mr.Em-
ory will formulate charges against in
spector of milk Perkins and present
them to the committee without any de-
law When this is done arrangements
will be made for giving public hearings
TO which all persons interested will be
invited.
During the entire day yesterday, un-
iii y. m. 127 persons were registered.
as against 469 on December q, 1891
bringing the total for the year SO far
up to S0OS. This gives a gain for the
day of 25S. but there is still a net loss
for the year Of 30i. The loss, as mat
ter of fact. is much more than this as
this year there is an addition OF 109 reg
istered voters coming from the annexed
district.
The result OF thu. hearing given by the
police committee upon the charges pre-
ferred by a citizen against officer Nc
KenZie of the Second station was that
the charges were not sustained. but the
officer was fined $40 and reprimanded
for having left his beat to go into a
house The charges against officer
Coyle of the Fifth station. made by
Capt Costine, were not fully sustained,
but the patrolman was fined $40 be-
cause he had left his beat, he claiming
that he had a lame foot. The committee
thought that under the circumstances
he should have gone to the police sta
ton. Both sentences VIII have to be
approved by Mayor Baker.
