JURY could NOT AGREL.
After Being Out four DAYS the Jessy
Morrison Jury Is
DISCHARGED.


Eldorado, Kan, Dec. l4.-After be-
ing out four days, the jury in the ease
Of Jessie Morrison, tried on the charge
OF killing Mrs. Olin Castle, reported
to Judge Shinn shortly afternoon to-
day their inability to agree. They
stood nine for aequittal and threefor
conviction. Discharged.
Miss Morrison's attorneys will
probably ask for release OF the pris-
oner ON bond.
Judge Shinn has already, 1t Is said,
expressed a Willingness TO accept
bonds.
Although the jury did not agree ON
II verdict, the result Of the delibera-
ton is practically an acqui,tal. Al
most from the start aud before the
case had been discussed by them, nine
OF the jurors voted for acquittal md
three for conviction. the threeholding
out for manslaughter ia the fourth
degree, the punishment for which
ranges from six months in jail to two
years In the pcnitentiary.
The jurors had been out since Tues
day morning, aud for the last three
days, reulizing that they could not
reach n verdict, they had waited pa
tient!y for their discharge.
The ease will now go over Ia the
spring court. In the meantime Miss
Morrisan's In wyers will make appli-
cation for her release on bond, which,
il is believed, j Judge Shinn has already
made up his mind to grant. Itisnot

called by the defense. They thought
Browns reputation was good. Mr..
Stephens made an excellent witness.
In his honest, n%onchalant way, he
acknowledged lie had known OF
Brown having had quarrels, butsaid
that all men had their little scraps"
and that Brown was no exception;
that Notwithstanding these troubles
he considered Brown a man of aver
age character.
This closed the case, with the ex-
ception al the admission OF an afiida-
Wit of Mr.. Won Tobel regarding what
"A witness 10y the name Of Ketchings
would testify to were he present.
Certain paragraphs were striker out
and with those exceptions the state
admitted the testimony.
For the state, County Attorney
Smith opened in n very short address,
evidently desiring to reserve his prin-
cipui argument until later.
Attorneys Won Tobcl and Walsh
followed in able speeches, both MAX

Brown was shot in the back, while
unarmcd, running away from trouble.

CHAPTER VII.

The evening sunlight is slanting
across the lawn, making a glory of
the dancing daffodils; and the birds
are holding a concert that commenced
with the dawn this morning. Such a
tender loving spring evening.
The sun shines in at the windows OF
the Grange. and one shaft rests low
ingly on the fair head of George Bou-
verie.
Mrs. Bouverie looks at the sunshine
and at the face OF her handsome son.
and smiles as she gazes. Her own eyes
are very sweet and patient.
She is very happy this evening. Be
tween her and George stands tea
table. and George is laughing and
pouring out the tea, desperately par
ticular as to sugar and cream. waiting
on his mother with gentle courtesy.
Her pale cheeks have taken pink
tinge, soft as the blush on a girlish
face, She wears lilac ribbons in her
filmy lace cap, and lace rufies fall over
her slender hands.
In upon this homelike scene stalks
trouble dark and horrible.
The maid, with pale face, opens the
door and stands trembling. looking
from her mistress to the face of the
young man who is so calmly helping
himself to a second cup of tea.
"Well, Mary, what is it?" he asks.
gaily tossing a lump of sugar to fox

"Oh, Mr. George, l don't know"

idea of the truth rises in his mind.

Experiment In Municipal Music.

Another new departure in the way
OF municipal enterprise has to be re-
ported from the progressive parish Of
Battersea. For some time past the
members of the dominant party on
the local vestry have been of opinion
that open-air concerts in the summer
months given at the expense of the
county council. ought to be supple
mented by similar entertainments dur
ing that part of the year when the
state of the weather precludes any
public gathering in the park or on
Clapham common. The assent of the
vestry to the use of the town hall on
Lavender hill having been obtained.
arrangements are now being made for
series of free concerts to he given
weekly in that building. and yester-
day public notice was issued which
expresses an opinion that there must
be many ladies and gentlemen in the
parish who would be glad to assist
the scheme with vocal or instrumental
music. All such artists are invited to
communicate with the vestry clerk
London Leader.

The word "ecumenical' is a poser
to many OF the newsboys who sell
papers in the vicinity OF Carnegie hall
Some wisely disregard it. Those who
do attempt it generally call it the
economical conference, while ALI
mental and elemental are terms
frequently used. In its broadest sense
the ecumenical world is the inhabited
world. The root of the word is
house" The term ecumenical, as ap-
piled to a religious gathering. dates
from Roman days. When council
was to be convened that represented
the entire Roman empire, both east
ern and western. it was called an
"Ecumenical Council Hence an ecu-
