Rearrested.

Two other counts still exist against
Callahan and he was at once rearrest-
ed under these. There is doubt, how
ever, whether the state will bring the
cases to trial. Chief of Police Dono-
hue announces that the $4,000 offered
for the apprehension of Patrick Grove
will be withdrawn. He says it is one
thing to arrest the culprit and another
to convict him. The reward of $4,000
offered jointly by the city and Edward
Cudahy, however, will still remain in
force.
As far as could be ascertained from
the jurymen, there was at no time any
serious differences as to their opinion
of Callahan's innocence. Three were
inclined to favor verdict of guilty,
but were soon convinced by their col
leagues that a reasonable doubt ex-

Judge disappointed.


The judge had evidently expected
different verdict, and was openly
disappointed. He wheeled in his
chair and, addressing the jury, re-
buked them in the most vigorous
terms:
eff Callahan had made his own choice of
a jury he could not have selected u men
who would have served him more faithful
ly. If the state for its part had made the
selection, I know of no men ii could have
named who could have been less careful
of its interests. The jury is discharged
without the compliments of the court and
the prisoner is likewise turned loose as to
this trial, l presume to continue the Grim
inal practices in which you have failed TO
check him. / 60 not know what motive
actuated you in reaching this decision, but
hope none of you will ever appear again
in this jurybox."
The jury was evidently i'll at ease
during this arraignment, but did not
make any response and filed rapidly
from the box as soon as it was at
liberty. In the hallway Callahan
mumbled his thanks and shook the
jurymen's hands.
