possibility of verdict or disagree
ment in two weeks.
Some uneasiness on the part of the
Jurymen, as result of their long con-
hnement, developed Friday afternoon.
Just before the adjournment of court

bench and asked if the jury would be
allowed to exercise during the two
days adjournment. He complained
that some members of the jury were
disinclined to take walks and that for
that reason the other jurymen were
were accustomed and without which
there was danger of sickness.
0. V. Sebom, the sixth juror, ad-
dressed the judge in support of this
statement and asked that the jury be
allowed to take exercise according to
their inc@inations.
Judge Wood and counsel for both
sides agreed to arrange anything with
In the law for the improvement of con-
Aitions.
! A. P. Burns complained that the
bailiffs in charge of the jury were too
i atgict and that a juryman who ex-
seeded some trivial rule was sum-
narily called to order. ~---~~~'---"~''
! The five witnesses on the stand
Friday morning added support to
those who have preceded them. They
were called to testify concerning con-
ditions existing in Colorado during the
disturbances at Cripple Creek, and to
show that there was no reason to call
out the militia.
