cumstantial evidence, and strong eff
fort has been made to have the SEN
tence committed, the case having been
taken twice to the supreme court the
decision being both times in support
of the lower court. Filpot stoutly
maintains his innocence. though he is
resigned to his fate, believing the law
demands him as a sacrifice.
Warden c. S. Reed, of the state pen
itentiary, said this afternoon that ar
for the execution had not
yet been made, owing to the lapse of
time between now and August 2. The

The Dabovich Case.
Continued from yage /.

There was no rebuttal testimony,
and the arguments we're commenced
just before noon Wednesday. After
the opening argument by the district
attorney, W.. q. Snyder made the
opening for the defense. He pre-
sented the matter in a stIaightfor-
ward manner, which made favorable
impression upon all who heard it.
He was followed by j. Z. Snyder,
who made a telling address, Kidding,
the prosecution. and declaring that
the PEOPLE had utterly failed to sub
stantiate the allegations of the com
plant. There was absolutely no
proof that Dabovioh had appropriat-
ed the sum of Sl17.21 or any other
sum, belonging to Norton or any one
else, to his own use. That is what
was charged, and it devolved upon
the people to prove that vital point
beyond reasonable doubt or they
must fail. He was not charged with
issuing a worthless draft-a draft on
bank where there we're no funds
available to meet it, but for en-
bezzliug the money paid for the draft
by Norton.
The district attorney made the
closing argument Wednesday after
noon in which he made the amazing
statement, In reply to the contention
of the defense that it was not shown
from the testimony that defendant
had appropriated any money to his
own use, that it was impossible to
prove that fact. The bearing of
such an admission by the prosecuting
attorney was recognized at once.
On Thursday morning the court in
structed the jury, the instruction be-
ing eminently fair in the light of the
evidence adduced. The jury got the
case shortly after ten Thursday
morning.
After struggling with the case for
over six hours, at a. l5 they requested
to be brought into court for en-
lightment. The foreman Mr. Griffin
stated that they had not argeed upon
a verdict, and that there was little
hope of an agreement. Another
juror wanted to know IN whose pos
session the check issued by Norton
on the Suffer Creek bank for the
amount of the drafts obtained, was,
whether of Norton or the Eank. Upon
this point it was said no evidence
had been introduce The check was
in evidence. Another Juror asked
that the last instruction given by
the court be read again. This waa
done, and thei eupon the jury again
retired for elaboration.
About six O'Clock the jury came
into court, and the foreman stated
there was no prospect of an agree
ment. They were thereupon dis
charged.
1t IS understood the jurors at first
stood to for conviction; in the
afternoon they were at first evenly
divided, and the last few ballots we're
to 5 for acquittal. Those for guilty
we're j.. H. Griffin, Ii. g. Hamrick,
A. l.. Wait, Charles Lorentz and j.
Q. Lima.
The court thereupon, on applca
tion, reduced the defendants bail from
$40, 900 to 5000. He gave the neces-
sary bonds, and was released.
