JURY BEGAN WITH PRAYER.
Twelve men, ajury, retired yesterday from
Judge Chetlain's court room in Chicago
and decided Patrick Deehan was not
guilty of the murder of John Linders.
When the twelve men took their places
around the table for discussion one Of
the jurors said:
"Gentlemen, this is most serious
duty before us. A human life hangs in
the balance, awaiting but a word from
us to be made free or to be ended. Ihls
is such a solemn duty that almost fear
to approach it, and | think that we
ought to ask for courage and for light.
Won't you gentlemen join me in prayer!
Let us kneel and ask Divine guidance. +"
The II men dropped to their knees
and the one juror offered a petition for
guidance. This juror was William IL.
Dietz. a Sunday-school superintendent.
The prayer ended, the jury began a
consideration of the evidence against
Deehan. After several ballots the yer-
dict was reached.
