HUNG JURY IN C0VINGTON TRIAL
After Deliberating 50 Hours Jury Was Unable to Agree and
 Was Discharged

After being out for thirty six hours, the jury in the Covington perjury trial returned to the court room yesterday morning and an. nounced to the judge that 1t had been unable to come to an agree ment and that there was no possi- bility of decision being arrived at. The foreman of the jury, M. l.. Diehl, informed the court that they were hopelessly divided and no verdict would result from their further detention. After convinc- ing himself that there was abso- lutely no hope of settlement, Judge Lea dismissed the jury, and the second trial of A. w. Coving- ton, president of the Senate in 1905, in connection with the alleg- ed boodling of the last session of the legislature, was ended.
 The final ballot of the jury just before they gave up hope was 9 to 3, with the majority in favor of acquital. All day Saturday the result had stood 10 to ? in favor of freeing the defendant, but just before the last ballot James Mor- ton of Little Rock changed over to the side that voted for a convic. tion. The two jurors that held out for conviction8from the be- ginning to the end were Alexander Trotter and D. E. McNair. These two members were gounded in their convictions and refused to budge from the position that they had taken.
 The balloting on the verdict ran all the way from 9 to for convic- tion to 10 to ? for acquittal Im- mediately after the jury began their deliberations there were nine men who voted to send former Senator Covington to the peniten- tiary, according to Juoror Trotter. The foreman, M. l.. Diehl, J. w. Nichols and J. J. Cloar were strongly in favor of accquittal from the start, and these men led the fight in the jury room for the clearing of the defendant. After the third or fourth ballot the vote stood ' for conviction and 3 against. At this juncture the fore man suggested that the members of the jury ask for the rereading of the instructions, with view to having all the information on the subject before proceeding further with the deliberations. Acting on his advice, they proceeding to the court room, where the instructions were read at their request. This did not help much, but when the court on the motion of the defense instructed the jury not to regard that portion of his speech in which Mir. Rhoton had asserted that Butt had confessed his guilt to the pros- ecutor himself, light broke in on the jury, and when the vote was taken immediately after they had retired to their chamber the result stood 10 for acquittal and 2 for cOnVictiOn

SHORTAGE OF OIL
More Than Two
THOUSAND CASES
UP TO PUBLIC WORKS, SAYS MAYER

The shortage of the Standard OF
Co.'s stock in the kerosene warehouse
has given the impetus to great dea
of Investigation. Fire Chief Thurston
Is investigating. Chief of Detectives
Taylor is working strenuously on the
matter and Superintendent of Public
Works Holloway is also taking hand
1t was learned this morning that the
shortage was by no means small
one, being at least over 1000 cases.
1t seems quite evident to those who
are attending to the matter that the
shortage and the incendiarism are
closely connected They state that the
fact that the Standard Oil Co. would
soon cease to use the warehouse would
have shown the shortage without
doubt, and the parties who were re-
sponsible therefore knew this and
bought to wipe out all evidence there
of by trying to let the whole business
go up in smoke.
Manager Mayer of the Standard Oil
Co. was seen this forenoon. He de.
rived the idea that any employe of his
company could have been responsible
for the shortage by issuing orders for
oil of which no entry was made in the
company's books. To prove his asser-
tion that this would be impossible he
showed the books in which tab is kept
Of the Oil which is sold. The orders
are taken from a book and are num-
bered consecutively SO that if any or
der were taken surreptitiously it would
show in the entry book as a missing
plumber
The system followed in selling the
oil to retail dealers is as follows: The
retailer orders and pays for certain
amount of oil and is given an order
Tor the amount bought. On present
ing this to the keeper of the Kerosene
warehouse he Is given, or should be
given, the amount called for in the
order. 1t is, however, customary for
the retailers to make large orders, but
to get their oil from the warehouse in
small quantities, and it is then up to
the keeper to see that they do not
overdraw their order by having the
total of the small orders exceed that
of the original large order.
1t has been stated by several of
those who are investigating the affair
that Keeper McKeague, who is now
absent on the mainland, was in the
aabit of letting the teamsters take the
oil they wanted without, checking their
loads as they left the warehouse. In
this manner 1t would be quite possible
for the drivers to take more than their
orders called for.
Manager Mayer would not say what
his theory was, beyond stating that

Judge DOLE QUOTES
BURNS N COURT
PoeticaI Wind-Up To
Whittoff Damage
Suit

"The best laid plans of mice and
inen gang aft aglee," quoted His Honor
Judge Dole this afternoon in court
'fhe quotation was directed at Attor-
ney Lewis, who wanted certain objec-
lions inserted into the reporters rec
ord in the Whittoff case, which he
thought he had made.
The Court was just finishing up the
case, SO far as everything but the de-
cision was concerned The question
raised was weighty one-or at least
one of weight. Attorney Peters had
asked Whittoff on the stand what was
his weight before the accident which
deprived him of his arm. The stenog-
rapher's notes failed to show that
Lewis had made any objection to the
question, though the Attorney was
sure that he had and wanted the rec
ord to show that he had, for the sake
cf his own record in the matter. 1T
doesn't make any difference what you
thought you said," remarked Peters,
you didn't say it, and l object to
having the records change at this
stage of the game"
The Judge sustained the objection.
The trial of the case has lasted all
this week, and those who have listened
to it are of the opinion that there is
no doubt of the verdict being in Whit
toff's favor, as he made out strong
case. Lewis. for the Fullerton, the de-
fendant in the case, has fought hard
on points of law. The principal ques-
tion to be decided, probably, is how
much damages Whittoff will get for
the loss of his arm.
