ONE MAN HUNG
L|NDERMAN JURY
Eleven Held Out for Murder in
the Second Degree-0ne
Held Out for AcquittaI

Humboldt county has got to blow in
5000 or S. 900 more on the worthless car.
cass of Linderman, the self-confessed
murderer of poor Jack Welch. The case
has been tried twice now. Once he was
convicted and sentenced to death by the
District court of Humboldt county. His
case was appealed to the Supreme court
and sent back for a new trial. A change
this county to the Second District. The
farce of trial has just ended in the
court at Reno. Eleven of the jury stood
for murder in the second degree and one
man voted for over sixty hours for ac-
quttaL The man who voted for turning
the numbering thug loose must have
thought that Linderman was talking
through his hat when he said he helped
put Jack Welch to sleep. 1t seems to the
Silver State that there was no second de-
gree about 1t. 1t was either murder in
the first degree or nothing.
After being out for sixty-seven and a
half hours the jury was discharged at 10
o'clock yesterday morning
This means that the celebrated case
will have to be tried again and it is the
intention of the court to admit of no de-
lay, but to call IT next Monday, February
9Th, at which time the third trial viii be-
gin.
Eleven for murder in the second de-
gree and one for acquittal was the way
the jury STOOD during the last sixty-fouf
hours that IL was out. One man was con
vinced In his own mind that the defend
ant should be given his freedom, and for
nearly seventy hours he firmly held his
ground, finally hanging the jury and caus-
ing new trial TO be ordered by the court
The first few ballots showed a great
difference of opinion. A number of the
jurymen were In favor of infiicting the
death penalty by bringing in, a verdict of
murder in the first degree, One man held
out for a clear acquittal and majority
favored a verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree After several hours of bal
loting the number in favor of life inn
prisonment (second degree murder) began
to swell and finally all but one were will
ing to agree upon this verdict. The one
man was not to be moved however, and
in spite of the hours of argument that
followed he never swerved from his res
olution on single ballot but held to the
last in favor OF the defendant.
After hearing the report of the jury
through it's foreman, George w. Gala
han, the court ordered the case set for
the 9Th of February and discharged thos,
of the jurymen that were chosen from
the latest venire drawn.
At this point Attorney Harrison request
ed that he be allowed to withdraw from
the case but this request was denied by
the court. who announced that the same
attorneys, Messrs Packard. Harrison &
Hummel. would be expected to defend
the prisoner
George Smith, a well-known mining
man. formerly OF Tuscarora, was the
Juror that voted to give Linderman his
freedom. Mr. Smith is a man of positive
opinions and he was convinced by the
evidence that Linderman was innocen.
He voted to acquit on every ballot an
throughout the long sixty Eight hour ses-
sion he never wavered from ,he position
that he first took

NOT so.

A Reno paper reports Sheriff Lamb as
advising Sheriff Ferrel of Washoe to take
Linderman to Carson during the excite
ment. Sheriff Lamb never advised
Washoes Sheriff to do anything of the
kind, but he thinks he actee wisely In
doing so.

Wfsdom's Whispers

The man who has plenty of money
usually is the man who knows how to
keep il.
A woman shows her good sense when
she allows a man to think she looks to
him as a, person of the highest honor.
When a man says he is supersensitive
he means he is ashamed of what he has
done.
Some women are not vain, but that
'isome" has an exceedingly limited
range.
Women possess the instinct OF refine
men even If they do not show it.
Men dress wholly to suit their own
peculiar notions.
Men have a wonderfully self-satisfied
way Of proclaiming themselves hon.
est.
1t annoys a woman to be reminded OF
love which was passed on to severa
others.
Most men regard their own safety a.
something deserving of first thought.
A woman who bestows compliments
rarely is taken at her real value.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON
STILL ON SHOALS
Fruit Steamer Lighted in
Order to Get Her Off of
Flats
PASSENGERS LEAVE THE VESSEL
Special to The Evening journal.


Delaware City, Feb. S.-With her pro-
pellor several feet out of water and sur
rounded by ice the fruit steamer Admiral
Sampson is perched upon the fats of Pea
Patch Island, all efforts TO float her be-
ing unavailing so far, although another
effort will be made to get her off this af-
ternoon.
The passengers, eighteen in number,
four Of whom were women, were taken of
the boat late yesterday afternoon by the
means OF row boats and boarded the tug
Juno which brought them to this port
where they boarded a train for Philadel-
phia.
n a set Of resolutions which the pas
sengers signed before leaving the boat
they exonerated Captain Lewis II. Hig-
gins from all blame, declaring that they
were more than satisfied with his man
agement of the steamer and his treatment
Of the passengers.
All day yesterday a fleet Of tugs was
pulling and putting about the steamer en-
deavoring TO loosen her from her unex-
pected and undesirable berth. In ader to
tighten the cargo Of the stranded vessel
it was decided by Captain Higgins yes
terday to unload part Of her cargo Of
fruit and a number OF men from this
place were taken out to the vessel 10 as
sist in the work.
Instead of throwing the fruit overheard
as it was taken from the hold it was given
TO the men assisting in the work and
taken ashore by them and yesterday af-
ternoon any number Of boys and young
men could be seen on the streets carry
ing punches OF bananas TO their homes.
Carried In BY Ice.
When the Admiral Sampson was strand
ed she was on her way up the river.
When off Fort Delaware she
was caught by an immense foe, lifted
bodily and deposited on the fats the fee
lahout her breaking as the vessel settled in
shoal water. Rivermen say it is one OF
the most complete cases of stranding that
has ever been seen in these waters and il
cannot be said when the vessel will be re-
leased as despite the removal of the cargo
she remains high and dry on the mud.
Two passengers were placed in a life-
boat and, guided by the ships executive
officer. were rowed more than an eighth
of mile to the tug Juno. which carried
them to Delaware City. Heavy field ice
lgllded by the foes TO the waiting tug.
The passengers reached Broad Street sta
tion, Philadelphia. at $40 D. m. last night
Captain Lewis II. Higgins refused tc
leave his ship. He expects the vessel to
floa- today.

Kelley Did Not PAY Fine.

Ross to Elmer Bates the other day,
when the swinging doors flew open
and about half the players OF the Chi-
.cago team-'King' Kelly in the lead
marched in. The game between Cieve-
land and Chicago that day had been
a stormy one, and Gaffney had gssess-
ed fines right and left. Kelly had been
the chief offender. Drawing at first n
S. penalty for disputing n decision. he
had called Gaffney names at IS or $40

League $50. Kelly had left the ball
park vowing he would attend 90 Gaff-

Kelly came into the bar. for II wasn't
