EPPINGER JURY
IS UNDECIDED
Men Selected to Try the Aged
Ex-Grain King Are Unable
to Agree Upon a Verdict
DEFENDANT RESTLESS
RumOrs About the Corridors
Are to the Effect That but
One Man Is Holding Out

Another day has been spent in fruit
less deliberations by the jury in the
Eppinger case and the interested par
ties are beginning to show signs of the
strain. The jurors themselves show the
least signs of worry. They walked from
their quarters in the Palace Hotel to
the juryroom yesterday morning look
ing more as if they were on their way
to picnic than to enter into delibera-
tions concerning the liberty of one of
their fellow citizens. After being locked
up in the juryrOom no communication
was received from them until 1890,
when, in answer to Summons, a dep
uty sheriff opened the door and received
message brief but suggestive 1t was
simply, I'VE are hungry" The deputy
sheriffs were hungry also and sympa-
thized with the twelve talesmen. who
were at once escorted to the Palace
Hotel. They did not return until
o'clock and from that hour until
not a word was heard from them. At
Judge Lawlor telephoned, saying that
he would not return and that the
jurors might be taken back to their
quarters in the Palace and would not
be expected to resume deliberations un-
til 10 o'clock this morning.

effect that the jury stood ten for con-

before the jurors were led back to their
hotel rumor had it that the jury stood
eleven to one. There was much sDecu-

board, meals and fees for the Jurors
and mileage and fees for the witnesses
has been enormous.

the Wrath of COursing Men.

A well-dressed young man with a
radiantly gowned young woman in tow

to get Sc more on a fourth home made

PAYS TRIBUTE
TO DEP ARTED
In Profound Sermon the Rev.
David j. Evans Remembers
Late DR.. Robert c. FOute

The memorial service at Grace
Church for the late Rev. Robert
Chester Foute yesterday morning was
attended by a large assemblaSe.
The sermon by the Rev. David ].
Evans was impressive and the sacred
music specially selected by William h
Holt, the organist, from the numbers
that were very dear to the late rector,
was beautifully rendered by Grace
Church choir, augmented by several
who had in many years ago sung in the
church as choristers.
The last service conducted by the Ia
mented rector was on Sunday morning.
July II. 1903. and the first lesson was
Gen. 40, ending with that prophetic
verse:
And when Jacob had made an end
of commanding his sons, he gathered
up his feet into the bed and yielded up
the ghost, and was gathered unto his
people"
Mr.. Evans took that same verse for his
text and said in part:
The conception of such service this,
which enriches our customary devotiOns with
the personal element of hallowed memory
does not need apology or explanation.
In every thoughtful mans life there are
days and places linked with dear memories
and fragrant with happy associations ana

Joe Rosenberg. the Market-street hab-

closing time last Saturday evening. but
waited in vain. for the fair claimant

= Can it be that she no longer cares and
that her engagement has been thrown
aside like the old gauntlets that were
brought in to be cleaned?
The rule of this store is that when
ever any one finds an article which no.
body claims. it goes to the finder. Miss
Hafenon will be the lucky one if nobody
calls. She says she would rather see the
owner have it, but would make no OBJ
lection to having such a beautiful dia-
mond. but would not like to wear it on
her finger. so she is making plans TO
have a fine time in vacation on it,
Should the owner call her hopes will be
blasted It's a beautiful ring, which no
woman could help admiring. 1t must
have belonged to some beautiful unmar-
ried woman. as there wasn't any we'd

have slipped off So they are wondering
and pondering, yet no one comes to
claim it.

ris went to the house of friend. Mrs.

ped there all night. and next day went
to her brothers house.
On Saturday night Sharkey ques-
toned her as TO why she was staying
away from her husband. After some
persuasion she told him they had
quarreled on Thursday and when she
returned 10 their rooms she found
the door locked. She complained TO
a policeman and he advised her to
TO do that and returned to her broth
er's house. She begged her brother

The dead body of Morris was discov-
cred fully dressed stretched out on the
bed. There was a tube in his mouth
and the other end was attached to the

Thursday. The landlady smelled gas
I since Thursday. but thought it came
from a defective gas stove.

request of the distracted young wife
and her brother Chief Deputy Nc
Cormick allowed the body to be re-
moved TO an undertaker's. Morris
was about 45 years of age. Shortly

endeavor 10 arrest the frightened ami
mails. His arm became entangled in the
lines and he was dragged over the
rough cobbles for a distance of a hun

nate driver. Policeman Baculich saw
the accident and ran to intercept the
team. He seized the bride of one Of
the horses and threw his 275 pounds
against the most frenzied of the ami
mails He was lifted from his feet, but

10 a stop.

The rough stones. He refused to go to
the hospital and was sent to his home,
where he viii be confined to his bed
for several days. Baculich's hand was
badly sprained. but he was otherwise

recipient Of many congratulations.
