The Result Expected is
a Mistrial.
JURY IN "A DEADLOCK
For the First Time,,Since the Trial Be-
gan Dewey Gave Way to Emotion,
Weeping During Ex-Governor
AyCoCk's Argument for the
Defence.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
New Bern, n. c., July THE fate
of Thomas w. Dewey is now in the
hands of the jury.
At $50 o'clock last night the court
re-conyened and Ex-Governor C. 3.
Aycock finished his mastery argument
for the defence. 1t was plea of
peculiar power even for such a past
master of the art of oratory as our
former chief executive. It's effect upon
Mr. Dewey was marked, as evidenced
by the fact that for the first time since
the opening of the trial the defendant
gave evidence of strong emotion
While Mr.. Aycock spoke in pathetic
terms of the agony of Dewey and his
family and drew a picture of his shame
should he be clothed in the stripes
of felOn, tears rushed to the defend
ants eyes and he buried his face in
his handkerchief and gave way to his
grief.
The court room was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and many ladies were
present hanging with painful interest
on the proceedings. Just before 9:15
o'clock Mr.. Aycock concluded his
speech, and for a brief space the ten
sion was relaxed. Then the judge be-
gan his charge to the jury Ii was
able, fair and impartial, consuming
not quite three-quarters of an hour.
The conclusion was reached at 10
o'clock, and the jury then went to
their room for consultation and the
preparation of their verdict.
At the hour of sending this report,
however, no decision has been reached.
There is a report afioat that the twelve
stand eleven for conviction and one
for acquittal. The struggle in the jury
room is evidently stubborn and de-
termined. Few believe that a verdict
will be reached
Curt will adjourn tomorrow even
ing, so in case the jury does not arriv
at a conclusion by this hour Judg
E. b. Jones will withdraw one juro
and make a mistrial.

STAMPEDE IN A CHURCH.
Sleepers Gave Way Under Throngins
NegrOes-AImOst a Tragedy.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Wadesboro, n. c., July -~6.-Th
Fourth of July came very near bein
a fatal day to some in the immenS1
crowd of colored people which had
gathered at Gatewoods Station church,
about six miles south of Wadesboro,
for the purpose of having a Masonic
picnic. A great crowd was there from
all parts of the country, and it was
a red letter day anon the colored
race. There were several addresses
and other things to amuse and enter
tain Rev. Mccoy, a noted colored
preacher from Fayetteville, was the
orator of the day, and had just about
reached the climax of his eloquence
when it began to rain and the wind
blew, and thunder and lightning
drove the rest Of the sons of Ham into
the already crowded building and
packed it to its utmost capacity.
All at once there was an awful
crash, and simultaneously there was
peal of thunder and flash of lightning.
The immense crowd stampeded and
made a mad rush for the doors and
windows, falling over each other and
tramping down women and children in
their eagerness to get out before any
one else. After the pandemonium and
rein of terror was over it was found
that the sleepers had given away and
the floor had fallen in. No one was
seriously hurt, but quite number of
women and children were bruised
right badly.
