jurors, who have patiently listened
to testimony and speeches since jan
uary 25.
The present case constitutes one
OF the longest jury trials in the his
tory of the state courts and attract
ed much attention.
Three More Cases.
At least three more cases must be
tried. the $4,000. 900 metallic furni-
ture contract; the alleged false pre-
tense In the finishing OF the fifth
story or attic" and the $4,000. 900
lightning fixture contract. Each in
wolves radically different principles
of law and essentially dissimilar
facts, and the determination OF no
one of them will suface to decide
any Of the others. No more than
two of these three cases can be tried
before summer.
An idea Of what Is yet to be I'M
dertaken may be imagined from the
fact that only four Of the IA defend.
ants have been placed on trial In
this first case. and not more than
four additional defendants can be
involved In the second trial, whether
