erybody on the two cars received some
kind of an injury, but those mentioned
above are believed to be all who are hurt

NIGHT WATCH.
Women Bring Their Lunch and Pre-
pare to Stay Till the Verdict
Is Arrived at.

1t appears that many people expected
an early verdict in the case. When the
jury retired it was past the midday lunch
hour, and it is not probable that any of
those in the court room Lad made ar
rangements to miss their lunch, for it
was hardly anticipated that the court
would send the jury out until afternoon.
Though the hour for adjournment had
nearly arrived, the court did not hesitate
an instant, but proceeded to charge the
jury. The retirement Of the Jury was
not signal for the crowd to dis3erse.
Instead, many remained. Whether they
thought the jury would be back in an
hour is not known, but it was evident
that so long session In the Jury room
was not anticipated.

but who wanted to congratulate him on
the verdict he assisted to return, said
he and the other jurors were taken of
their feet by the applause and cheers that
greeted their verdict. He said they felt
that they had done their full duty, and
had done it after mature deliberation.
From a member Of the jury who kept a
record of the ballots cast, was obtained a
full account of the doings of the jury.
Their discussions are not of moment,
and it would not be proper to print just
what they considered good evidence and
what they early discarded as untrust-
worthy, but the following is the COM
plete table Of the ballots, together with
the time they were taken.

jurymen returned TO their discussion,
which was carried on in an orderly man
ner. Their foreman conducted matters
like parliamentarian and each man was
allotted so much time in which to talk
There was no indisorimlnste jaDgling.
At 10 o'clock ballot was taken and
then there was silence that spoke vol
umes. The jury was getting tired.
Rest was to be taken. They had been
taking a vote every hour, but they were
far apart and 1t was decided to turn in
for the night. No cots or feather beds
were provided. They slept on the floor
or in their chairs. The comforts of
home are not provided in the jury room.
AS an incentive to agreement the wood
that the chairs are made Of is the hardest

Her OWN JURY.
How the Selections Were Made and
Some Of the Information That
Influenced the Choice.

hbhuChOcu tho ShOiCOs
1t was an anxious day and an an nxious
night for Annie e. George yet she bore |
up well under the strain. She has been |
a most remarkable client, and has been Of
great assistance to her counsel. From
the outset she has watched every point
in the case, and has been consulted and
advised with as to every move made in
her behalf. Nothing was done without
her approval, aud many thugs were done
at her suggestion. The jury was her
own choice. There were many to pick
from, but she chose the twelve who on
yesterday retired to decide her fate.
Early in the proceedings to secure jury
the state had to exhaust oae of its per-
emptory challenges, aud little later
another was lost by clever stroke on
the part of the state when the defense
knew juror had been secured who was
obnoxious to the state. Then there
were still eleven peremptory challenges
on behalf of the defense. Each juror
was now studied with more care than
formerly, if that were possible. The his
torysof the first forty who were called
was known. Detectives had attended to
that. The accused had in front of her a
history of the mans life and any Incl
dents in it that would tend to prejudice
the case either for or against her. She
studied that and she studied the faces
and manners of the jurors. At the out
set she had determined to have jury of
married men, home lovers, men who
had builded homes for themselves and
who cared for them and their occupants.
The claim was to be SGT up that George
ID. Saxton had destroyed a home, and
the accused thought she would fare bet
ter at the hands of men who loved their
homes and reversd the married state
than at the hands of the roustabout
bachelor who eould know nothing Of the
joys OF such ties After the first forty
called had proven to be insufficient to fill
the panel special venires were issued and
these made the matter of selection more
difficult. The history Of the life Of each
of the specially called jurors was not in
the possession Of the defendant, and she
must now depend on her wits. A per-
empto y challenge was exhau sted on one
Of them and then she went back to the
original list. She wanted to be satisfied
that all who had qlaliaed on statutory
grounds should have no prejudice against
her. One juror from Canton was consid
