Quny's Case Now In the Hands of tho
Iwclvc Men Selected to Pass Upon
His Guilt or Innocence.
PHILADELPHIA. April oo.-The case
OF exhibited States Senator Quay was
placed In the hands Of the jury prompt-
ly ut O'clock this afternoon and no
verdict being reached by 10 o'clock at
night. the Jury was locked up until
morning. There was no intimatIon.
other than mere rumor, as to the atti-
tude Of the jury. The generally ex-
pressed opinion OF those who have fol-
lowed the trial since It's beginning on
Monday of last week, is that the verdict
VIII be an acqulttal. Many. however,
look for disagreement. There are but
rev who express the belief that ver-
dict of guilty will be given.
To-day's proceedings were confined
entirely to argument and speeches by
counsel. the defense deciding to present
no testimony. Mr.. Watson began the
day by requesting that the case be
withdrawn from the Jury,and verdict
OF not guilty rendered. He contended
that the commonwealth had utterly fail
ed to make out case against Mr..
Quay. Judge Biddle determined the
issues were those for a jury to decide
and he ruled that 1t be gone through
with In the usual way. Mr.. Shields
here announced the dcfenses intention
to take no testimony. and under the
rules OF the court he thus obtained the
privilege Of making but one. the last
speech to the jury. District Attorney
Rothermel spoke for one hour: Mr..
Shields followed for one hour and three
quarters and Judge Blddle charged the
jury In nine minutes.
Judge B!ddle did not go into the evil
dence. He said the case had been ably
conducted and he would leave the de-
clsion to their Judgment. At first his
charge appeared to be a shade against
Senator Quay, but as he proceeded 1t
was apparent that the impression the
jury must get from his words was one
of impartlality on the judges part. At
3 o'clock Judge Biddle finished and
within five minutes the books and
papers had been passed to the iurymen
and they retired for deliberatlon.
