the giving of a single new instruction

Much has been said by friends of
the prosecution about armed thugs in
was in attedance for Mr.. Ruef during
the trial except his counsel, father and
clerk, and so far as armed persons are
concerned each day during the trial
Heney and Burns had in the courtroom
from 10 to 20 armed men. not countin &
Mr.. Heney himself, who was also
armed, and latterly these armed men
were reinforced by 10 uniformed police
men.
This cry about thugs and this show
of police force was evidently intended
to intimidate and influence the jury
and to prejudice the public against the
defendant
Even after the discharge of the jury
one of the counsel for the defendant
heard that elegant gentleman and for

tective, the man who does fail in

giving the standing of the jurors on the
question, he went on to say:
An agreement was hopeless. We
did our best TO arrive at one, but
could not do so. The main question
was one of the credibility of the wit
nesses who testified against Ruef and
no amount of argument could change
the vote one way or the other. There
was some discussion on the question of
testimony OF fellow consptrators, but
this. was q minor issue, the main point
being the credibilitS of the witnesses.
There was no bitterness or undue
wrangling. All the jurors, l believe,
were fully aware that they were face
to face with a serious public question
and we endeavored to solve it in calm
ness"
Juror Crooks. who voted for an ac-
Quittal, said substantially the same.
THE six who held for an acquittal,
said he refused to believe the wit
nesses to a sufficient extent to convict.
1t was question of their veracity-
and we did not take their words
Juror Connolly held the same views.

better for every one to move out of the
town"
When the evidence was all in at
the end of the trial 1 saw my duty
as citizen and honest man was to
convict Abe Ruef," said Juror frost. I
did my best 1 argued with the othC ).
1 showed myself open to reason and
tried to reason with them, but nothing
could be done. 1 can only say am
bitterly disappointed.

convince the opposition. I did nay

William NJ Leverone, butcher, who
resides at 1904 Railroad avenue, and
who voted not guilty, stated that there
was so much evidence to be considered
that, had the jury gone over. it piece

REPORTER is WITNESS
Lawrence Hills, reporter for a New
YORK paper. was called as witness to-
day. He testified that he met Miss
wood In the latter part of October, 1903,
when he went to the Manhattan hotel
at 1 o'clock in the morning to inter
Senator Platt with Mrs. Janeway. Miss
Wood, according to the witness, said
she had no interview to give out and
that she had no interest in Senator
Frank H. Platt, the senator's son, fol-
lowed Hills on the stand and told of
having received letter from the Of
ficeS of Howe & Hummel saying that
they had been retained by young lady
to sue him. Hummel later told him
he had been retained by Mae c.. Wood
to sue the senator for. breach of prom
ise of marriage. The letter from Hum
mel was written in October, 1908, and
the interview took place a day or so
after the letter was received.
What letter did Hummel haveT
He had some letters that were in the
handwriting of my father, sets of
proofs of paper and some photo
graphic plates of the letters"
PAYS HUMMEL $4,000
Platt said that his attorney, Delaney
Nicoll. had previously agreed with
Hummel that $4,000 be paid for the re-
lease of the letters. The money was
given to Nicoll, who turned it over to
Hummel. the witness said, and he got
in return a signed release from Miss
Wood.
Plat said he examined all the letters
carefully before burning them in the
CRATE of his office. He was then shown
the tVpeWritten letter hepinnfnQ s'n1V
little bride to be-" and asked If there
was any such letter in the package
There was not was the reply.
All the copies of letters that Miss
Wood alleged to have received from
the senator, and as she averred, got by
her from HummeI, were shown the wit
ness and he declared there were no
such letters received from Hummel.
Platt said that none of the letters con-
tained any reference to marriage.
Miss Wood, who was present in court
asked permission to cross examine
Plart. Her request was refused. Miss
Wood is a member of the Nebraska bar.

METHODISTS STILL
firm IN DEADLOCK
Fiftieth Ballot Fails to Shake
Standing of Candidates
for Bishoprics

BALTIMORE, May 21.-The battle
for the bishoprics was hotly waged to-
day and before the, adjournment of the
Methodist Episcopal general confer
ence the fiftieth ballot had been cast
and was in the hands of the tellers,
who were instructed to report the re-
suit to the conference at its opening
tomorrow morning. Late tonight It
was learned from a thoroughly well
informed source that the ballot result
ed in no choice, but that Ii shows Rev.
Edwin H. Hughes lacking only about
a score of votes of election. He is
followed by Rev. c. w. Smith and w. S.
shows Rev. J. B. Hingley, secretary of
the conference, has gained about so
votes.
HUGHES MOST PROBABLE
The election of Rev. Edwin. H.
Hughes on an early ballot is looked for
marked gains for Rev. Charles l..
Goodell, pastor of Calvary church. New
York, whose votes have increased from
l94 on the first ballot to 392 on the
toral evangelism, and his election
would be looked upon by many as a
distinct acquisition to the episcopacy.
Rev. Homer G. Stuntz of Madison N. j.,
field secretary of the board Of missions,
has gained 10 places in the list since
the first ballot, when he was twenty
hrSt on the list, with 101 votes, On
the fourth ballot he was eleventh. with
1919 votes N
The leading colored candidate, M. C.
B. Mason, developed his greatest
strength on the second ballot, his vote
on those that followed falling off from
275 to 241, just four votes more than
he received on the first ballot.
TO BE SENT TO BERLIN
1t is expected that the newly elected
German bishop, Nuelsen, will be given
an episcopal residence in Berlin. with
charge of the Teutonic races in Europe,
and that Bishop William Burt will con
fine his labors to the Latin races.
Significance attaches TO a recommen-
dation which the book commission de-
cided to make to the conference II, is
that hereafter the book concerns of the
church employ union men at union
wages and favor union labor whenever
opportunity offers. During the last
four years the two great publishing
houses of the general conference have
had a good deal of trouble with labor
unions, especially with the typographi-
cal union. The resolution is the out
growth of this and the desire of the
Methodist Episcopal church to get in
closer touch with laboring men and
women.

asked to define the duty of a Methodist
lawyer who may be assigned by the
court to defend liquor dealer

Constipation
is Caused by Cathartics

Any harsh physic- any physic that
gripes-irritates the bowels.
That is how salts and cathartics get
their effect. They act as pepper
acts in the nostrils = causing the
juices to flow.
But the bowel lining-like the skin
grows calloused under constant
irritation.
The bowels then cease to supply their
own laxative. You need physic all
the time. AS the bowels grow harder
you need larger doses.
That is chronic constipation.
That Is how constipation is caused
by the efforts of Nature to resist a
harsh physic.
The way to cure it is to use a natural
laxative dainty and gentle. That's
Cascarets.
