AFTER 10 HOURS IN JURY ROOM.
A Verdict of Guilty Was Returned
Against John f. Meyer.


John F. Meyer was tried in the Su-
perior Court yesterday for keeoing
open a tipping house on Sunday,
found guilty, after the jury had DELHI
Grated on the question for nine or ten
hours, and sentenced by Judge Fall-
CANT to pay a fine of $3.50 and the costs
of the prosecution or in lieu of the
payment of fine and costs to spend six
months in Jail.
To some of those who watched the
trial, even to those who are heartily in
favor of suppressing the open sale of
liquor and the keeping open of tip
ping houses on Sunday, it seemed
rather a hard case. The evidence that
whisky had been sold was clear enough
but the circumstances did not COM
mend themselves to the consideration
of the spectators as exactly those
which should surround case in which
there was to be a conviction.
Clark, Hendry and Otto, three of the
men who have been active in securing
evidence against these violators of the
law, were the witnesses who appeared
against Meyer. They said that on Sun
day, March H. they had found Meyer
in front of his residence, which adjoins
his grocery and bar, and asked him to
get them a drink. The outer door of
the bar was closed, and after some
demur and objections made on the part
of Meyer the men were taken through
the house and thus into the bar, and
given what they wanted to drink. They
bought also a bottle of whisky, and
this was exhibited in court and identi-
fed.
Meyer denied that he ever kept his
bar open on Sunday, and also entered
a general denial of all the statements
of all the witnesses. This probably did
him more harm than good. When the
jury left the court room there We're
eight for conviction and four for ac-
quittal, and it stood practically at this
point until the afternoon. AS the at
mosphere of the jury room began to
get a little more oppressive, and the
jurors a little more anxious to find
some cool. secluded nook. where they
might rest their tired limbs and brains
and possibly refresh their parched
tongues, some of those who had been
for acquittal began to weaken, and the
four came gradually over to the opin-
ion of the majority.
Everybody by the time the jury had
agreed, had come TO expect a mistrial
and it was a surprise to the court Of
ficers, to counsel and to the spectators
when it was announced that an agree
ment had been reached. 1t was sur
prise quite as great when the verdict
of guilty was read.
Judge Falligant Immediately imposed
sentence. 1t Is probable that a new
trial will be applied for, or that an eff
fort will be made to have the sentence
reduced

had reached decision, but no one
of them wholly lending his Endorsement
to the project.
One of them said he believed the
scheme to be wholly impracticable. He
did not believe that the Executive
Committee of the party could frame
rules that would guarantee the abso-
lutte purity of the ballot, and while he
was willing and anxious that the cleo
ton should be absolutely fair. he did
not propose to make any promises that
would put him at a disadvantage in
case any one of the other candidates
or the friends of any one of them,
should resort TO unfair means to infiu-
ence votes. If that sort of thing was
practiced by any of them, he wanted a
chance TO be in the game.

TRIED TO SWALLOW TICKET.
Negro Domestic With Thirty-four
Pawn Tickets Arrested.

~ aNEeCus
Rosa Moore, a colored domestic, was
arrested yesterday morning by City
Detective ]. j. Murphy. and is held at
the police station on a charge of being
a suspicious character. When search
ed at police headquarters thirty-four
pawn tickets, for as many articles of
clothing, were found on her. One
ticket for an overcoat the woman made
a desperate effort to swallow. She was
unsuccessful, although the piece of
paper had to be checked from her
throat.
The Moore woman was employed by
j. Wilkins of No. 217 Abercorn street,
and It IS believed by the detective that
most of the articles were stolen from
that household. Mr.. Wilkins is also
proprietor of dye house, but none of
the articles is believed to have been
taken from that establishment. The
prisone- viii not be taken before the
court this morning, but will be held
until Detective Murphy has made
thorough investigation of the woman.
'Hhe officer is quite sure that he can
successfully fasten several crimes at
her door.
