IN HANDS OF JURY
GalIehugh's Fate Now Rests
With Twelve Good and
True Men
MADE EARNEST APPEAL
Testimony of the Case Reviewed in
DetaiI-SeVere and Caustic Ar
raignment Is Made by
Both Attorneys.

The testimony is all in; the judges
charge has been given and the jury is
now wrestling with the problem as to
whether or not, according to the law and
the evidence submitted Herbert G. Gal
lehugh is legally guilty of the murder of
Charles Collins. The jury was sent out
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at
a late hour last night had not reached an
agreement.
Yesterday was given over to the argu-
ments of the attorneys. County Attorney
Boardman took the entire forenoon IN
presenting his side of the case, and in
his masterful and intelligent manner APP
parently made a strong impression on the
jury. AT times he was severe in his ar
raignment of the defendant, but on the
whole he did not attempt to bias or pref
udice the minds of any of the jurors in
his favor
He went over the entire testimony en-
deavoring to point out the facts that were
in favor Of a conviction, and many times
illuding to statements that were imma-
terial, and could in no way be for or
against the defendant. He also ridiculed
some of the trumped UP charges, as he
called them, that had been introduced by
the defense.
Thomas A. Garrfety, attorney for the
defense, occupied about one hour and a
half in summing up his side of the case.
His appeal was an eloquent plea for his
client He summed up the testimony in
a convincing manner 1t was not an ar
raignment of the negro race. He said
while it is true that we waded through
rivers of blood and spent millions of dol
lars to free them, and at the present time
receive them in our institutions, and in
many ways consider them and treat them
as equals, yet there is one privilege from
which they are barred and that is We
shut them out of our homes. Why do
we do this? Because the sanctity of our
homes is our dearest possession, and we
must preserve it pure and undefiled."
He took the evidence up thread by
thread, and showed wherein Gallehugh
was justified in committing the deed for
which he was now on trial. The very
fact of Collins offering Mrs. Gallehugh
So to go with him to his room, as well
as the indecent assault he attempted upon
her in the laundry room in the basement
of the hotel, was cause sufficient to arouse
the ire of any man with red blood In
his veins and prompt him to take the law
in his own hands and wreak out vengence
upon him who would even attempt to de-
stroy the sanctity of the home in such a
manner.
Judge Simpson occupied about a half
hour in delivering the charge to the jury.
1t was a clear. concise statement OF
the law in the case. There were only
three verdicts which the jury could ar
rive at-murder in the first degree, muir
der in the second degree or acquittal. This
was deemed by many as favoring the de-
PENDANT, for it is thought that were they
given the privilege of finding for man
slaughter in the first degree that penalty
might be inflicted as compromise Both
attorneys expressed their satisfaction at
the absolute fairness of the charge.
The jury retired at midnight, having
reached no verdict. 1t was the general
opinion that the jury would be unable to
reach an agreement.
