All day yesterday the jury deliberated IN
its room and failed to come to an agree
ment. Nothing to indicate what was being
done in the jury room was visible on the
faces of the jurors when they went TO their
meals, and no one has learned the name of
the foreman selected. AT supper time last
evening the jurors looked tired, and sew
eral of them seemed extremely anxious 10
get through with their task and be allowed
to return to their families. The determined
expression the faces OF three OF the
jurors indicated TO men familiar with the
trial that, as has been expected, this num-
ber of men stand for conviction and will
not be reconciled to an acquittal or Alex
ander.
1t is understood that the jury stood di-
vided at the first vote taken after II had
organized. From then on IL became walt
ing body. il Is said and after the jury had
been out several hours IL was predicted
that il would never come 10 an agreement.
Some hope was expressed. however, that
the Jurors standing for conviction Woulu
more readily recede from their posltlon
than those who voted for the acquittal OF
the physician.
Ii was said yesterday afternoon that the
jury might have been impressed by the
argument presented showing what tended
to the guilt OF DR.. Alexander on the tourtn
count. If the jury nnds the accused physi-
clan guilty on the fourth count IL Is De-
Iieved 1t will have compromised on YER
dict and while not believing him guilty
of having assisted in the robbery Of graves
believe nlm guilty of having knowledge
of the manner in which the Neidlinger booy
was secured.
DAY OF SUSPENSE.
Yesterday was a day of suspense for
everybody interested in the outcome of the
trial. DR.. Alexander and his wife appeared
in the courtroom shortly before O'Clock
and prepared to hear the final chapter Of
the trial Judge Bailey delivered his in
structions to the jury and advised ii on the
law and the evidence in the case in an i'm
partial manner.
Reasonable doubt was explained at
length, as was also all the testimony not
relevant to the case which was permitted
to go before the jury TO show guilty
knowledge on Alexarders part he also
explained the property rights of the nearest
of kin of deceased persons and the purport
of the expert testimony introduced as evil
dence of the insanity OF Rufus Cantreii,
witness Judge Bailey instructed the Jurors
that they were judges both as to facts and
law, and, although he might aid them to
knowledge of law. they were not compelled
to follow his suggestions, but were to de-
eide the case according to their own knowi-
edge.
After the jurors had been furnished forms
of verdict Bailiff Mendenhal escorted
them to the room over the Criminal Court
room and locked the door. DIR. Alexander.
