HOW THE MONEY COMES.

that afterwards he had Inquired as to
the truth of the report, and Vincent had
replied that it was correct. Q. H. Ber-
rey testified to nearly the same facts,
though he was even more positive of it.
This was in 1898 the witness stated, and
at the Arlington Annex.
Judge Gear then stated that he knew
of the matter, saying that he had seen
an entry on his brothers books OF 500
for Fernandez, for the Hagey gold cure.
McClanahan went on the stand also
to explain how he had first heard OF
the report.
Attorney Robertson again objected to
any interference with the jury's YER
dict He said Il don't see how the
court can refuse to accept the verdict,
if that juror wasn't examined as to that
question, the examination was waived,
and only constitutional question can
now be raised to disqualify juror"
DAVIS RELIEVES THE STRAIN.
Just at this point Attorney Davis broke
into the courtroom in his usual impetu-
Gus manner, and somewhat relieved the
strain with the startling query, address
ed TO the Court:
THE Supreme Court is full. Have they
got to wait for this gold cure?"
Davis was all unconscious of the joke
until attorneys and court awakened him
with a chorus of laughter, and the court
replied:
NO. I guess not; the. attorneys here
can so in a moment
JURY BROUGHT IN.
An agreement was then reached that
the hearing of the motion to withdraw
the jury should be postponed, and the
verdict of the jury sealed until the ques-
ton was decided. Then it was the jury's
turn to start little fun.
Have you agreed upon verdict
asked the Court
I'VE have not" replied H. Y. Austin,
who was foreman. This caused some
what of a surprise, as it was the general
opinion that the verdict had been reach
ed hours before. Then one of the other
jurors relieved the situation by saying:
That is a mistake, your Honor. We
have reached verdict, but there is still
one minor detail to be settled The YER
dict has been signed, however"
Another juror here spoke up, and said
they wanted more instructions, which
Attorney Robertson requested should be
given them. The foreman then asked
that the Court instruct the jury as To
the date of the demand by Harrison for
the return of his money. The Court stat
ed that this was a matter of fact but
told them the date-March TO- 1898. From
this it appeared to be the general opinion
that the verdict was for defendant. and
they wished 10 compute the interest from
the day the return of the money was
demanded
After their return to the jury room.
the attorneys again argued as to what
should be done, Robertson contending
that the verdict was proper. and should
be received. He finally consented TO a
sealed verdict, the question of disquaii-
tication to be argued this morning. The
Jury returned in few minutes with The
verdict sealed in an envelope, and hand
ed it to the clerk for safe keeping. The
jury was then excused until this after
noon, and cautioned against talking
about the verdict with any one.
GRAND JURY CALLED IN.
The grand jury was summoned into
court by mistake yesterday morning. but
where the fault lay was not ascertained
by the Court. When the jury filed into
the courtroom Judge Gear asked Prince
David for the report. The foreman said
no report was ready, and stated that
they had not concluded their labors.
Didn't you ask to be called into
court?" asked Judge Gear with a puz-
zled air
NO, sir
The Court then called to the two bail
ifs present in the room, and questioned
them as to whether they had not told
him the grand jury was ready to re-
port. Both Hopkins and Ellis denied the
responsibility, and the jury was sent
back, leaving the Court more puzzled
than ever.
