Denver Home Thursday

ROISE, July 2S.-Judge WOOD 'ad-
-mitted Charles H. Meyer to bail In
the sum of $4,000 this afternoon. It
is announced the bond will be given
tonight
No agreement has been reached in
the case of G. ~ Pettibone, and no
application, therefore, was made in his
case. Pettihone's trial has been set for
october l.
Haywood expects TO leave for Den
yer Thursday, and Meyer may leave
Wednesday, if there is no hitch in the
bail proceedings
This summed up the activity of the
court this morning, and furnished
what little interest there was after
the big trial. Comment on the verdict
is still the main topic of conversation
and speculation on what will be the
future plans of the state with regard
to the trials of Meyer and Pettibone.
Outside of official circles the cur

Especially since the instructions of the
Judge there has been a feeling that

deadlock for II hours. Thomas Powell
and Samuel D. Gilman, ranchers, held
out for some degree, of conviction.
Powell surrendered first, but it was
after o'clock Sunday morning before
Juror Gilman decided to make it unan-
imous
The judge was notified at 7:1O ana
all attorneys notified, but it was 1854
when Judge Wood took his place on
the bench and the tired jurors filed in.
In response to the question from the
court if a verdict had been reached,
Foreman Cess handed up an envelope
which was given to the court and con-
tained the following:
