Si1f any other evidence were needed
h that the report OF the grand jury will
mot be made until Friday.tit is furnished
+ by a.. grond Juror, who said esterday
afternoon to representative OF The
Times -Dispatch: II do not see how ne
can possibly finish up to- morrow. Il
1t Is known beyond doubt that the
Jury has not yet completed the recount
OF the vote OF the city as indicated by
the ballots returned. In fact no work
was accomplished Eon that line ,yester-
day The jury did not hold an evening
session for that purpose, as had been
expected. This was due to the fact that
a member OF the jury had an important
business engagement for the evening,
and that the other jurors were quite
willing to rest until to tuay. ts
The list OF witnesses summoned has not
yet been disposed OF, though many were
heard yesterday Mr.. c. w. Saunders, OF
Clay Ward. member OF the city and OF
the State Committee of the party. was
present for the second day and was not
called. Several other witnesses were left
unheard when adjournment was had
about about e:aO. City Sergeant James g.
Smith was among the last to testify yes
terday. Chairman James b. Doherty, OF
the city Democratic Committee. was a
witness yesterday. but was soon disposed
OF, his testimony being unimportant and
merely formal. City Sergeant Smith was
in the Jury room for probably half an
hour. The line OF his testimony is not
indicated.

secret chamber or. from persons supposed
to have an idea OF their doings, Include
one which is based on excellent founda'
ton, that Third Marshall precinct has
been found all right. It was rumorcd q
one time that certain persons had regis
tered and voted there who lived In the
county, On thoroughly reliable informa-
tlon It can be stated that this rlmor has
been exploded. 4
