JURYMAN SENT TO JAIL.
Watson Trial at Washington TermI.
mates Suddenly.

Washington, April 14.-The case Of
James M. A. Watson, accused OF EN-.
bezzling $4,000 from funds In the
-e,isteAy-o of the auditor OF the District
of Columbia, was ended during the
day by the discharge Of the jury and
the arrest of one of the jurors, Arthur
L. OTrison, for contempt Of court. The
trial will not begin again until the
middle of May.
The abrupt termination Of the case
was precipitated by the request OF
Orrison tc be informed by the court
whether Watson was to be tried on
the indictment against him or on pub
lie opinion Justice Pritchard replied
that public opinion had nothing to do
with the jury, which was to consider
only the law and the evidence.
The court then held private con-
ference with the attorneys, following
which Assistant District Attorney
Taggart moved the discharge OF the
jury on the ground that Orrtson,s
question indicated a prejudice against
the government in the case. The court
promptly discharged the jury, prefac.
ing the action by saving that the
Juror is intoxicated and not in condi,
ton to -sit t-ifst the boy. i
At the afternoon session of court
Justice Pritchard adjudged Orrison in
contempt of court and sentenced him

HEARING iNFEDERAL COURT FOR
CONTROL OF NORTHERN PA.
c'F'c ROAD ENDED.
FINAL ARGUMENTS OF ATTORNEYS
w. G. JOHNSON CLOSES FOR De
PENDANTS AND W. GUTHRIE
FOR PLAINTIFFS.

st. Paul. April 14.The Hill-Harri.
man battle for control of the Northern
Pacific road ended in the circuit court
during the morning and the decision
10 now being considered by the judges,
William G. Johnson, possibly the
most famous corporation attorney in
the United States, occupied the first
part Of the mornings debate In behalf
Of the Hill interests.
Mr.. johnson cfeated a series of sen
sations by his sarcastic references to
the Hartman crowd. His epithets,
although robed in polished diction,
were sharp and bitter.
He charged the Harrimans with
seeking delays SO that they can scare
owners Of Northern Securities stock
into selling out at a cheap figure and
said that such delays were dangerous
to the people, the worlds markets and
to general business conditions.
Mr.. johnson laid special stress on
the objection filed with the court
Tuesday by Attorney General Knox to
the Intervention of the Harrimans. !.
Sees Difference in Plans.
It was defendants plan, counsel
claimed, TO distribute the stock pro
rata among 5000 stockholders. It was
Harriman's plan to get one whole
block.
William Guthrie, closing for the
Harrimans, dealt almost entirely with
urging the court to see fit. to examine
the books Of the Northern Securities
company and charged that, contrary
to Mr.. Hill's statement, the Hill-Mor-
gan interests still controlled the two
lines through dummy holders of
stock.
He charged the Northern Securities
company with having bought Great
Northern and Northern Pacific stock
in disobedience to the courts decree.
Elihu Root made an impassioned de-
NAL and said that his clients were be-
ing charged with contempt Of court
and that the charge was not true.
Court adjourned when the hearing
concluded, the judges taking the case
under advisement.
