THE JURY DIsAGREEs.
Failure to Arrive at Verdict i,
REYNOLDS Case.

Failure to Arrive at Verdict In
REYNOLDS Case.
New York, June l7.-The third trial OF
Or. Samuel j. Kennedy on the charge OF
Killing Dolly Reynolds came to an end
at 100 o'clock yesterday morning when
the jury. which had been out since u. ia
aSturday afternoon, reported to Judge
Nefburger that it could not agree. and
was discharged. The prisoner was re-
manded to the Tombs
When the foreman of the jury an
nounced the inability of the jury to
agree DR.. Kennedy seemed unable 10
comprehend the situation. Then the
tears came to his eyes and his face
showed the effort he was making to con.
troll himeelf and crush his disappoint-
ment But the smile that had been
marked thru most Of the trial came
back quickly and grew brighter as he
caught the eye of Moore, his attorney.
Immediately after the adjournment OF
court the attorneys for the defense saw
Judge Newburger In regard to their
next step in behalf of Kennedy The
Judge said they should see District At
torney Philbin as to whether he would
agree upon the course 20 be pursued. He
said that he tthe judgel would be out of
town tomorrow. but that they could APP
pear before him on Tuesday to make
whatever motion they desired.
Attorney Moore will ask District At
torney Philbn to move the quashing OF
the indictment. and II the latter does
not take this step to free DR.. Kennedy,
Moore himself will make that motion, ar
guing that the state has twice shown It's
inability to convict his client of the
crime charged and that the old idea OF
two disagreements being equivalent to
an acquIttal ought to prevail in this
case.
Five ballots were taken by the Jury.
The first stood three fdf conviction ana
three for acquitttai, with six blank.
The second ballot stood six for convic-

ton and six for acquittal. The third
acquittal The fourth was five for con-
viction and seven for acquittal and
eight for acauittal.
The trial of DR.. Kennedy has been
one of the most Interesting and hard
fought battles in the history of criminal
Jurisprudence. Like most great murder
cases its chief interest arose from the
fact that 1T was based entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence. Expert testimony
inquired largely in the case, the state at
tempting to prove that forged cheek
found on Dolly Reynolds the murdered
woman. was written by DIR. Kennedy
sNennedy's trial ended in a conviction
with the death sentence; the second in a
disagreement. nine jurors standing for
acquittal and three for conviction.
Emel,ne c. Reynolds, better known as
Dolly" Reynolds, was FOUND dead with
her head crushed in room al the
Grand hotel on Aug 16, 1895, whore she
had gone With man answering Or
Samuel j. Kennedy's description. ac-
cording to the testimony of witnesses
Kennedy was friend of Dolly Reyn-
olds. Sc gave him $500 to bet on the
races and the winnings amounted TO
$4,000 which with the original amount,
brought the sum up to $4,000. To avoid
paying this money to the woman was
the motive ascribed for the murder In
stead of the cash the state asserted that
Kennedy gave her check for $4,000 on
his bank signed by Dudley Gideon,
mythical person. This the prosecution
contended was part of the plot to do
away with the woman The state con-
tended that Kennedy carried out his
purpose In killing the woman. but failed
to get tbs check whioh he had given
her. This was found in the bosom OF
her dress and 1T was is-orsed IS. j

fiicting and at the end the commissioner
bound over the defendant to the grand
jury at the next term of the federal
court in bonds of 5000, which were fur
srished.
Bartosh is secretary Of the school
board of Scion. The evidence tended to
show that he owed Schley IS. and that
he paid it to him on Sept. is. giving him
u So note, as schley supposed. tho he
claims that he did not unfold it. Schley
is certain that it was this Identical note
which he gave to his son on Sept. 90. He
wanted some change and he gave his
son the note. in exchange for IS in sill
YER His son came to Cedar Rapids on
the Tuesday following, bringing the
same note. He then wanted some
change and the note was changed for
him at Frank Horak's, who did not mo-
tice that it was bogus bill until the
next day.

for the County.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Oct. 1.-The republican coun-
ty central committee of Clinton county
held its first meeting in this city yes
terday afternoon and mapped out Wig
orous campaign. The republicans of
this county have not been as hopeful for
many years and many are confident
that the entire ticket will be elected.
The legislative ticket, headed by George
D. McDaid, mayor of the city. is excep-
tionally strong. The candidates for
representatives are David Brant and
DR.. Morton Leon. The republican party
in the county is thoroughly united and
every candidate but one was nominated
by reclamation. On the other hand,
there is strife in the democratic ranks
and many of the leading democrats are
iunfriendly toward Phillips and are
strongly opposed to the democratic
platform. AT the same time they are
warm admirers of Cummins and will
vote for him.
