Because of Jurors Sympathy for
Own of Their Number.
Minneapolis, Feb. %. - The Journal
says: One Of the Hamilton jurors has
let the cat cut of the bag. Eight of
the twelve jurors were for acquittal
for thirty straight hours. From the
moment they retired these men an
nounced their position. Juror William
H. Gibson, who had sickness in his
family, was sorely distressed and
elected the sympathies of his col
leagues. He begged them to come to
a decision SO he could get away. About
midnight Tuesday night the jurors
agreed upon manslaughter, partly ow-
ing to Mr.. Gibson's distress. Other
considerations had their influence upon
the eight. One was that a disagree
ment meant another trial at great ex-
pense, and moreover change Of
venue to some other county would be
necessary. The probabilities were that
jury in some other county would
convict Hamilton of murder in the
first or second degree and he would
either be hung or go to prison for life.
So those for acquittal felt they We're
really doing both Hamilton and the
county a service by reaching a verdict.
