they were discharged. w.,
When the jury came in at 1850 Miss
Patterson became very nervous. The
color of her face seemed to deepen
and her whole attitude showed thai
she was undergoing keen suffering.
When the jury reported their dlsa'
Kreement and the justice discharged

threw herself on his shoulders, weep

hoped to be free in time to 60 home
to Washington to spend Christmas
with her mother and the disagree

comfort her, but she fell fainting in his
arms. She soon revived from her
fainting spell, but continued to sob

the jury and remanded Miss Patter.

sobbing violently and in fit of severe
nervous collapse.
After the rest of the jury had left
the courtroom the foreman remained
and had a consultation with Justice
Davis.
AS the foreman of the jury left the
courtroom he said the vote throughout
had been six to six. He said six were
for acquittal, but whether the other six
were for murder in the first degree or
not he would not say. Prosecuting At
torney Rand would not say what tie
further course of the prosecution
would be.
The foreman said that only one bal
lot was taken. 1t was then found
there was such vast difference OF
opinion that the remainder of the time
was taken in argument

father was sent for. When he arrived
she did not seem to recognize him.
After the prison physician had ad-
ministered stimulants Miss Patterson
recovered some of her former self
possession.

prison missionary, that the jury be-

JURY WAS EVENLY DIVIDED
Stood Six For Acquittal and Six For Con-
victiOn In the Case of Nan Patterson.

New York, Dec. 24.-After being out
twenty-four hours the jury in the case
81 Nan Patterson, on trial for the
murder of Caesar Young, reported a
disagreement and was discharged and
the defendant was remanded to the
Tombs. Miss Patterson collapsed on,
hearing the news aSd fell fainting into
her fathers arms. The jury stood six
tor acQuittal and six for conviction.
The future course of the prosecution
IS unknown.
The jury was summoned into court
on the arrival of Justice Davis at 1880
am. There was scarcely moments
delay when the usual question was put
to the jury. The foreman replied that
no decision had been reached. JUS.
tice Davis said that under almost any
other circumstances he would dis
charge the jury at that point without
further delay, but this case he consid.
cred one of great importance. Much
time had been consumed In the trial
and he felt that it was only fair to
the defendant and to the state that
every effort should be made by this
jury to reach IN agreement OF some
kind. -
The foreman of the jury told Judge
Davis that he did not think the jury
would be able to reach verdict and
he complained that several of his asso-
ciates were not susceptible to argu.
ment. The Judge told them to reach
q verdict II they could do so con.
scientiously. He would not, under any
circumstances, even suggest that any
one of the men holding an opinion
which he believed to be just should
change that opinion, but at the same
time he believed it would be advis-
able for the jurors to return to their
room and, if necessary, to review the
evidence of the case and to discuss
and attempt to decide any points upon
which their contention was based.
In replying the foreman said that
he was convinced that an agreement
was impossible. All the evidence in
the case had been carefully consid
cred and thoroughly discussed and he
was convinced that the opinions of the
Jurors had been firmly fixed. He add
ed that the jurors desired to do every
thing in their power to reach an
agreement and upon the suggestion of
the judge they would retire and give
the matter further consideration, but
at the same time he was certain that
it would be fruitless task.
Jury Finally Discharged.
