Jury IN STEVENS
CASE STILL OUT
Disagreement Is Now Antici-
pated by All.
ARGUMENTS ARE FINISHED
Seventeen Hours Have Already
Been Consumed

At o'clock this morning the jury in
the Stevens case We're still in the jury
room, having failed to arrive at a ver-
dict. At this time the jury had been
speculation as to what their verdict will
DE. However. the majority seem to think
the result will be a hung jury, as it
was at the former trial of the case dur
ing the last term of court.
The case went to the jury at 11:15
o'clock yesterday morning. mediately
ifter the conclusion of the argument for
The state by Attorney Eckstein. The
morning argument was opened by At
forney John Adams, who reviewed the
evidence in the case and made a strong
plea to the jury that they would not
change their opinion for the purpose of
,retting out of the room; but if they be
lIeved the defendant innocent, to stand
firmly upon their conviction and not
change their idea merely because they
wanted to get out of the jury room He
also reminded them of the injustice and
disgrace it would bring upon the family
if they Should convict an innocent man
Of such crime.
Attorney Eckstein then made the clos
fng argument in behalf of the state He
warned the jury not to let their sympathy
for the wife and child stand in the way
of their duty; that if they thought the
states witnesses told the truth, they
would be in duty bound to render a YER
dict of guilty
The main point in the case seems TO be
the time which Mr.. Stevens reached his
home on the evening of January l. 1853.
The defense claim that it was at
o'clock and the state that il was 100.
The 7:30 theory is borne ont by seven
witnesses for the state, who claim to
have seen him after o'clock on the
evening in question. while w II. Davis
was the only witness introduced by the
defense who claimed TO have ever seen
Will Heath and Stevens get off of the

be brought in before the jury had been
in consultation any length of time
The case occupied nearly eight days in
The court. and both sides put up strong
fight. 1t is this that leads TO the opin-
ion that a hung jury viii probably be
