Judge MckinIey's Appeal
Following the address of Attorney

the principal address to the jury in be-
half of the defendant.
You have only the uncorroborated
testimony Of Whittier, a self-confessed

clared Judge Mckinley in opening his
remarks to the jury.

The defense attached considerable

ELLIS JURY IS
UNABLE To AGREE
STANDS NINE FOR ACQUlTTAL
ON LAST BALLOT
After Dsliberating All Evening the
Twelve Men Fail to Arrive at
Verdict in Street In.
spector's Case

Unable to agree after deliberating
over six hours, Judge Wilbur shortly
before the death knell of the old year
was tolled discharged the jury before
whom Edward S. Ellis, the deputy
street superintendent, has been on trial
charged with having accepted bribes
in return for his approval of certain
street work
The action taken by the jury was
considered victory by the defense and
many of the defendants friends who
fingered about the court room until
midnight congratulated Ellis on the
result.
1t is not known definitely whether
or not the case will ever go to trial
again, but the indications are that it
will not.
Over twenty ballots were taken in
the jury room and it was not until after
all possibility of arriving at a ver-
dict had vanished that Judge Wilbur
discharged the jury from further SER
vice.
On the first ballot taken the jury
stood eight for conviction and four for
acquittal, and on the last ballot taken
the vote was practically reversed, nine
being for acquittal and three for con-
Viction.
From a conversation held with a
juror this morning it was practically
shown that a conviction was entirely
out of the question.
II would have given $100 out of my
own pocket if this case could have been
tried before the late election" said the
juror, and then he eulogized the former
street superintendent.
Judge WilLur in discharging the jury
thanked them for their services, and
the greetings of the season were eX-
changed by judge and jurors just as
the big hand on the clock pointed to the
hour of II.

More Merriment

But the zenith of mirth was reached
when the popping of champagne corks
added music to Patterson's vocalists
and it was announced that DR.. Le-
moyne Wills, on account of his
enlargement from bachelor thraldom.
had set up the wine for the crowd.
Then the whole club struck up For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow and 80
Say We All of U.s." and Patterson's
Hemlockers took a much-needed rest.
IN the meantime Parkyns sang two
songs, Truman gave out a hymn,
Glover danced the Highland fling.
Byrne recited a classic, Koephi exc
cuted a Chilean hornpipe, the pIesi-
dent attempted to speak and was
promptly squelched by Patterson and
his trusted chorus, and another an
nouncement went forth that Louis Vet
ter had ordered a basket because he
had thus far escaped the dangers of
marriage, and this last arrangement
was set to music and Patterson as
usual achieved immense success with
his "Hemlock Tree" which proved 4
teritable Christmas tree for the Sunset
club.
Seriously, the affair was delightful
and satisfactory throughout. 1t gave
chance to a representative class of
well-bred business men to cut loose
from too much decorum and to be boys
again; and that they did do so to the
limit cannot be denied, although IL
o'clock saw all of them at home.

Judge Interviews Jury

At $3.50 o'clock last night, after the
jury had been celebrating on the evil
dence for nearly four hours without
reaching a verdict, Judge Wilbur or
dered the men brought in for the pur-
rose of ascertaining the standing OF
the Jurors on the question of the ver-
dict.
The foreman of the jury announced
that they stood seven to five, but re-
fused to commit himself beyond this.
one of the jurors asked the court for
additional instructions on the testi-
mony given by Contractor Cummings,
and in reply Judge Wilbur said;
1.-THE court instructs you that the
evidence Of the payment of money to
the defendant by persons other than
Whittier is not to be considered by you
as tending to prove that he received
money from Whittier"
This instruction was considered ma
terial to the cause of the defendant by
Ellis attorneys and the jury again filed
into the jury room for further delibera-
tion.
When District Attorney Fredericks
opened the final address to the jury OF
behalf OF the prosecution, the speeta-
tors who occupied every available inch
of space about the court room bent for
ward in their eagerness TO catch every
word spoken by the prosecutor.
mot only have you the life of the
defendant in your hands, but you also
hold within your grasp the life of this
commonwealth, for the crime alleged
here is the pest and the blacklist offense
against the civic life.' said Captain
Fredericks in his opening remarks to
the jury.
In reply 70 the defense who argued
that politics and animosity were the
