A HUNG JURY.
Third Trial of DR.. Kennedy Results in
Failure to Agree.

To agrees
New York, June 1.-THE Il men, who
considered the evidence in the third
trial of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy for the
murder of Dolly Reynolds. reported
to Judge Newburger at 1925 O'Clock
Sunday morning that they were unable
to agree on a verdict. The judge at
once discharged the jury from further
service and remanded the prisoner to
the Tombs.
When the foreman of the jury an
nounced that inability to agree, Dr.
Kennedy seemed unable to comprehend
the situation. Then the tears came to
his eyes and his face showed the effort
he was making to control himself, and
crush his disappointment. But the smile
that had been marked through most of
the trial came back quickly and grew
brighter as he caught the eye of Mr..
Moore, his attorney
Mr.. Moore will ask District ATTORNEY
Philibin, to move the quashing of the
indictment, and If the latter does not
take this step to free DR.. Kennedy, Mr..
Moore himself will make that motion,
arguing that the state has shown twice
it's inability to convict his client of the
crime charged and that the old idea of
two disa greements being equivalent to
an acquittal ought to prevail in this
case.
On the first ballot taken the six who
were willing to vote in advance of
discussion of the case stood: For ac-
quittal 2; for conviction of murder in
the first degree, 1; for second degree. /.
The other six put in blanks.
The first formal ballot resulted: For
acquittal, 6; for conviction, 6. The next
ballot stood: For acquittal, z; for con-
viction, 5. Thus the jury stood until
the sixth ballot was reached, when the
result was: For acquittal, 5; for con-
viction 4, and four more ballots result
ed the same WaV ten in all being ia
ken
Emeline C. Reynolds. better known as
Dolly Reynolds, was found dead with
her head crushed at the Grand hotel.
August It, 1898, where she had gone
with a man answering DR.. Samuel J.
Kennedy's description, according to the
testimony of witnesses In the dead
woman's corset was found a check for
$13 900, signed Dudley Gideon and in
dorsed by Samuel J. Kennedy" The
police theory regarding this was that
it was in payment of alleged winnings
at the races.
The evidence showed at the trial of
the case in the criminal branch of the
supreme court in the spring of 1899. that
the Woman's skull had been crushed
with a piece of lead pipe traces of
which pipe on Dr. Kennedy's clothing
were alleged to have been discovered
by the police. DIR. Kennedy was con-
victed and sentenced to be executed at
Sing Sing.
The court of appeals, on November
20, 1900. handed down decision grant
ing a new trial to DIR. Kennedy, and he.
was prosecuted before Justice Fursman
during the latter part of last year for
the second time. This trial resulted in
a disagreement. District Attorney
Philbin transferred the case to general
sessions and assigned Assistant District
Attorney Osborne to prosecute it. The
third trial began May 6.
