to Judge De Haven in the United States
circuit court this morning at III o'clock
that it was unable to arrive at YER

Judge De Haven read some additional
instructions and told the jury to re-
tire and deliberate further. At noon
they were still in conference, with no
news to break the monotony of the long
deadlock.
Common report has it that the jury

story is going the rounds that W. W.

dissenting juror. This looked plausible
when the jury appeared, for Cook was
the first to ask for instructions. He
looked worried and worn, and desired
the court to read again the charges as
to what constitutes the crime of per.
jury. This was done.
