Criminal Court.

The jury in the case of the state VS..
John Blackstock and J. r. Latham,
charged with highway robbery which has
been out since 4 o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon, retired last night without hav-
ing reached a verdict.
Yesterday afternoon they announced
ready with a verdict for one of the ac-
cused but Judge Dan A. Greene sent
them back until they have decided upon
the guilt or innocence of both men.
1t is generally thought that mistrial
will result in at least one of the cases,
possibly Blackstock while many are of
the opinion that Latham will be given
the full penalty of the law
Solicitor Hefn and Assistant Solicitor
Winston in their prosecuting speeches
impressed the juries with the fact that
they should either declare the men inno-
cent and give them their freedom or else
decide that they are guilty and impose
the penalty OF death. 1t Is thought that
this had a great deal to do with the
failure of the jury to reach verdict.
Latham and the Blackstocks appeared
cheerful yesterday and talked ana laugh
ed a great deal with their relatives. The
Backstock boys seem more affected than
Latham, who throughout the trial has
seemed to be in an Indifferent mood. The

RYAN, FINANCE KING.
vireinlan's Conquest of Money World
Like Romance.

New York Special to Chicago Record
Herald.
Thirty-seven years ago Thomas Fortune
Ryan. the captain of industry who in
the .,twinkling of an eye, has become one
of the kings of the insurance world was
a pennless boy tramplng the streets OF
Baltimore in search of employment. Be-
ginning at the bottom, he ever since has
been climbing a ladder made OF golden
rounds.
In gaining control of the great Equitable
Life Assurance society," with its assets
and surplus of nearly half billion dol
lars, Mr. Ryan practically completes the
cycle of financial endeavor One of the
great constructive forces among American
ffnanciers-the organizer and reorganizer
of railroad systems, street car systems,
and electric light and power systems;
the developing genius for gigantic indus
trial combinations and director of banks
and trust companies-he now becomes the
dominating factor in one of the great
reservoirs Of wealth that irrigate the fields
of colossal enterprise.
Mr.. Ryan is one of the least known big
men in the coterie of financiers with
which he has been associated condition
due entirely to his peculiar characteris-
tics-quietness to the point Of taciturnity,
secretlveness and a lack OF ambition to
bask in the limelight. He has been an
interchangeable worker but never a grand
stand player. These characteristics years
ago made valuable friendships for him.
Roscoe Conkling once said to Mr.. Ryan
that his left hand did not know what his
right hand did.
In 1870 he came to New York and en-
tered a banking house with which Mr..
Barry was connected. Another two years
he was in the brokerage business for
himself. Soon he had for his customers
Jay Gould, Samuel j. Tilden and other
large Wall street operators
In 1895 Mr.. Ryan temporarily retired
from active business for rest, but was
back In the street inside of q year, when,
with William C. Whitney, ne began the
first great stroke of his career--the secur.
ing and consolidating Of the surface street
car lines OF this city.
His career since then has been three
fold his operations embracing the devel-
opment of steam railways and the man
agement of Industrial corporations and
financial institutions well as the ex-
tension Of electric railway and ligat prop
ertieo.
