PATTERSON JURY Is HANGING
Locked Up for the Night After Nearly
Eleven Hours OF Vain Considera-
tiOn of the Case.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Patterson
jury was finally locked up at 1:3O
p. M, it being found impossible to ar
rive at verdict up to that time.
Court recOnNened at 10 a. m. today.
The proceedings of the last day of the
trial consisted of the charge to. the
jury by Justice Davis, lasting some
thing over an hour. He outlined the
law and then sent the jury away. The
judge adjourned his court late in the
afternoon, saying that if verdict was
reached before II p. IN. he would re-
turn to the building.
So sure was tile wOman of acquittal
that before she left the TOmbs for the
court room she had packed up her be-
longings ready to start home. She
alternated during the afternoon be-
tween the court room and the Tombs,
but when last seen was still confident
OF acquittal The jury began consider
ing the case at 12:25 p. m.

OWNS PLENTY OF MONEY
Still Samuel Medbury Is So Hard Up That
He Couldn't Even Paw His
Board Bill,


Detroit, Dec Possessed of an
estate worth about $4,000, yet too
poor to buy a suit of clothes or to pay
his board bill, is the peculiar predica.
ment Samuel Medbu1y is in. according
to his testimony before Judge Frazer
Medbury is the grandson of the late
Lucetta r. Medbury, who left an estate
valued at between 100000 and $780,
GOO. and is one Of the le1atees unde.
her will
Mrs. Medbury, however, when sic
died, tied up the property and left the
shares of her grandchildren, Samuel
and his brother, Truman, in trust to
Henry B. and and Cyrus E. Lothrop.
She specified that the shares should be
turned over to them at the discretion
of the trustees, and in the case before
the court Medbury told Judge Frazer
that he thought he was old enough to
manage his share of the estate.
Medbury testified that he had tried
to secure work, but had not been sue
cessful only among his own relatives.
In spite of the testimony that Medbury
is a man OF good habits the Judge
thought that man. of his age who
couldn't earn a living for himself was
hardly able to manage large proper
ty. He, however, advised that Med
bury be given some thousands to see
what he could do when he had money.

st. Petersburg, Dec %. - General

general staff that he has received re-
port from Chinese sources to the effect
that the Russians have recaptured 2O3-
Meter hill at Port Arthur, with the
guns mounted by the Japanese. Kuro-

Shanghai, Dec. %. A startling
move has been taken by the Japanese
which promises to turn the impending
great naval battle with the Baltic fleet
into victory for the mikado. The
Russian forces, divided into two SQUAD
rons, are steaming to a secret meeting
place in the Orient. A squadron Of
powerful cruisers under Admiral Ka-
mimura has gone south to the China
sea to meet the Russian second SQUAD
ron before it has a chance to unite
forces with the remainder of the feet.

Singapore, Dec. %. - Two japanese

two japanese battleships, two first
class cruisers, two second-class cruis-

ers were nearby, steaming west.

st. Petersburg, Dec. %. - The an
nouncement that four Japanese cruis-

ceeding west from Singapore is re-
ceived here with much interest. 1t is
not believed, however, that such
small squadron can have been sent out
by Japan with any idea of engaging
in offensive operations, but it is re-
garded as more probable that it is the
purpose of this squadron to keep
surveillance over the two attachments
OF the Russian fleet which are ex-
pected to soon unite in the neighbor-
hood Of Madagascar.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FIRST THoUGHT?"


used 10 do me homage even those of the
little girls who used to say: LOOK at
herl She is mine. I'm going to be like
her when l am grown" Does this seem
puerile to you? Does it seem childish?
1t is tragedy. woman should die Of
her first wrinkle, for with it goes homage,
and with homage, love.
Youth of itself is beauty-the delicate
contour of the check, the fresh firmness
OF the skin, the unfaded red of the lip,
the bright OF the eye, undimmed by tears.
And I am no longer young. All my
good, fresh youth was spent on that mar
riage of mine which was made in heav-
en-! l have only the shadow of what
was left for you. Besides, l am older than
you. Written, those seem ordinary words,
just common, ordinary, everyday words,
but weigh them, weigh them!
There are no weights sufficiently heavy
to balance their sorrow Hope might
tighten 1t, but there is no hope
What If should listen to your plead
ing-and 1t is like the tap of glad fingers
at the door of my heart-afterward, when
the eyes of your love had been cured Of
their blindness, what would be your first
thought? This: "She is older than IT,
/ think you would not put the thought
into words. You are too kind for that.
But / should see it written in your face.
ed in your eyes. That poor shadow of
myself which is all / have to offer you,
would haunt me there.
Then despairingly l should attempt to
revive that evanescent charm you say I
possess in the effort to win you back
and fail. For doubtless the charm exists
In your imagination, now you are blind.
Seeing. it would cease to exist.
Finally should stand by the side Of
some fair young girl and, reading the
comparison In those eyes OF yours, suffer
untold tortures-only such tortures as are
known to the hearts of supplanted wom-
en-. Stay where you are. That agony is
more than l could endure and live. 1
