The jury in the bond suit Of Mrs. NJ.
]. Calendar against the Olyphant
Trust company, was out all Thursday
night, and at adjournment yesterday
afternoon it was still out. The pros

Late in the afternoon Attorney |. II.
Burns, Of counsel for Mrs. Calendar,
made a motion before Judge McPher-
son that the jury be called in and given
binding instructions to find a verdict
for the plaintiff, the court at the same
time to enter a rule for a new trial. Mr.
Burns said this would be preferable to
a disagreement Of the jury necessitat-
ing trial Of the case all over again at
some future term Of court.
Major Warren, for the defendant, Cd.
posed the motion with vigorous argu-
ment, and claimed il was a matter for
the court to give a binding instruction
for the defendant rather than the
plaintiff. Judge Mcpherson said he
