About o'clock Marshal Hendry was
informed that his jury was making its
escape VIA the roof, and sure enough,
on the highest part of the judiciary
building half a dozen jurors could be
seen enjoying the scenery from this
place of vantage. The clock tower is
one of the prettiest places in the city
for n view of the harbor and surround
ing hills, and the jurymen had been
quick to discover how they might get
the air. From the small room used as
jury room is spiral stairway leading
to the top of the building, and used by
the janitor to reach the clock and the
hagpole. Up this the jurors had labor
iously wendell their way. when their
dreams of scenery and freedom were
rudely interrupted by the voice of the
foreman, who, upon the instructions OF
Marshal Hendry, summoned them to
their labors again.
At O'Clock the jury was taken to the
Hawaiian Hotel for dinner, and having
failed TO reach an agreement. will re-
main there all night. 1t was stipula ted
by the attorneys that in the event a YER
dict was found it should be sealed and
given to the marshal, and the jurors ex-
cused. to return into court at 10 O'Clock
this morning to listen to it's reading.
