Refused to Argue

I Albert Haas foreman of the jury, eX-
pressed disgust with the position OF
the two men who voted for acquittal.
.Raicevichs arguments in support of
his position were certainly wonderful
They amounted to nothing more than a
repetition of the statement that the
defendant had acted in self-defense.
We asked him for any possible process
of reasoning to support his contention,
but he always replied by the assertion
that it was self-defense. The consid-
GRAFTON of the evidence was superhuous
as far as he was concerned. All last
night and today we tussled with him
and Cook, but it was useless. They
simply said it was self-defense and you
could not change them, At times in
the argument in the jury room they
would state pSemises and then draw
conclusions that were marvellous"
I'VE expected a verdict of acquittal
and are disappointed" said Attorney
Robert F'erral. We believe that we
had the law and evidence on our side
and that justice demanded the clearing
of the defendant. We also believe that
had it not been for the influence of the
press and of public opinion that got
into the jury box we would have Sc
cured a verdict of not guilty.
Attorney ]. j, Dunno had little to add
to the statement of his associate coun-
sell
IT have always believed we had the
law and the facts to support our con-
tention," he said, land ] am disappoint-
ed by the result of the trial. l have
always believed that young Lagan was
the aggressor."
In regard 10 what steps would be
taken to secure the release of Conboy
on bail neither of his attorneys would
make any statement.
Juror, Milton Banner in speaking of
the case said that it was pure and
simple deadlock.
There were 10 men on one side and
two on the other. We did our best to
bring the two around to our way of
thinking, but they refused to bulge.
The question after the first few bal
lots was either manslaughter or an &C
quittal. The majority did not favor a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
Cook and Raicevich were set in their
opinions of self-defense and as the law
gave them a right to their opinions l
do not think it would be wise to criti-
else their stand"
The case will be set for it's second
trial next Saturday. The prosecution
intends to bring it up as early as pos
sible.
I'VE will ask to bring it us as soon
as we are able" said McNutt, land
pending it we viii get after our friends,
the perjurerS."

he said and my honest opinion was
that Conboy, fearing he was about to
be attacked, defended himself. reas-
oned in this way:
"Conboy had spent the day and even
ing without any trouble Late at night
he was leaning against tamPpost
when Lagan rushed up to him. Under
the circumstances he had perIect
right to call out thief and 'pickpocket.
Other witnesses testified that Lasan
returned to fight him and that though
Conboy repeatedly told him to go away
and not create trouble he refused TO 90
so. Lagan had his coat off. Conboy
was sick and somewhat intoxicated.
All the circumstances in the case leu
him to believe that he was about TO
suffer great bodily harm, II not meet
with his death, and / maintain ne hau
a Derfect right to defend himself
Cook said that the question he wished
to ask the Judge Wednesday night was
in regard to a point of law regardiilS
homicide.
Spiro Raicevich, one q the two jurors
who voted for acquittal based ms oe,
cision on the opinion that Conboy had
acted in self-defense.
81 believed that Lagan was the ag-
eressor and that Conboy acted in sell
defense throughout" said Raicevlch
last night. Il believed from the test-
mony that Conboy was intoxicated and
also sick at the time Lagan first ap-
preached him. The young man had no
business to go near Conboy and the evil
dence convinced me that when he ala
go and take hold of him it was Tor the
purpose of doing him injury.
Asked what kind of injury he
thought Lagan had intended to infiet
on the intoxicated police officer Raice-
vich said:
perhaps not bodily injury. but may
be injury to property
Z believed he continued, that
man in the condition Conboy was In on

to defend himself when he saw a man
coming I'D to him as Lagan did.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Making an

delivered a stirring speech in the house
today.
Speaker Cannon" he said. like a

Arguments Are Heated


The arguments, as time progressed
became extremely heated. PERSONAL
ties were INDUCED in with excessive
freedom. Tim and again in the heat
of the moment the jurors raised their
voices to such a pitch that they could
be heard plainly in the corridors and
adjoining courtrooms and had to be
cautioned by the court to restrain
themselves.
The leader for those who stood for
conviction was 5. Frank Alden lie
originally voted for murder in the first
degree, but joined with the others on
the verdict of manslaughter. Between
hi mand Cook the wordy battles were
frequent and much to the point Per-
sonalities of an irritating kind were
| flung broadcast and the upshot was
that Cook withdrew, refusing to spea k
to him any longer. In the heat and
stress of the argument Raicevich was
forced to withdraw also and it was at
first thought that he was about to faint.
Seeing his condition the jurors called a
temporary pause, but it was OF short
duration and in a few minutes they
were at it again harder than ever.
At this stage Cook had to face the
other 10 alone, Raiceyichs physical
condition making it impossible for him
to take a hand in the argument and
deliberations. When the jury retired
at midnight Wednesday the vote stood
10 TO . for conviction

WOMEN AND CARDS.
The Newest Fad Of the Fashionable

The Newest Fad of the Fashionable
Set In New York.
Card playing for money among the
fashionable women of New York has
become such craze that they have
found 1t eXpedient to emulate the ex-
ample of their husbands and brothers
to that extent that there are few
games now that kitty" doesn't play
an important part-that is to say, a
percentage OF the stakes goes to pay
for a hired room and refreshments.
The big Broadway and Fifth avenue
hotels are the scenes Of many quiet
little games Of bridge these wintry aft
ernoons. and here Is how they are
arranged: Women who launch upon
shopping or calling tours in the morn
ing hours agree to meet for luncheon
Mt some well known hotel. One wo-
man in the party is designated as
cashier, and she pays the bills. While
the luncheon is in progress orders are
given that room be reserved and the
furniture so arranged that one or two
tables Of bridge can be INDUCED in.
Play starts, and the cashier Of the
party ''cuts" each hand or pot until a
sum sufficient to defray the cost of
the luncheon, hire Of the room and
whatever refreshments might be Or
dered while the game is on has been
provided for.
The Waldorf-Astoria, the Knicker-
booker and. the New Astor of the
Broadway hotels and the Plaza, st.
Regis and Gotham are the favorite
rendezvous just at present for those
women who wish to buck the tiger
outside the prosy confines of their
homes.
Eyes, afternoon bridge parties have
become quite the rage" said one Of the
managers at the Waldorf a few days
ago. ut is such an easy matter for
women to meet in the restaurant and
then adjourn to a private room for a
quiet game of bridge.

Mead the Whole Show?

Col. DIN Merrill declines on the
plea of i'll health to enter the race
for the governorship, and it's an in
teresting question as to whether
there is anybody except DIR. Mead in
sight. 1t is a considerable strain on
the eyes of the spectators.
This same Dr. Mead has a good
start whatever happens. 1t was
"all Mead at the dairymen's meet
ing, and the veterans capture of
that stragetic point undoubtedly
had its effect. i'll or otherwise, upon
other aspirants.
DIR. Mead has had little news
paper support, the state press gener-
ally siding with the state organiza-
ton against him, yet he was able, it
is said, to turn the dairymen's con-
vention into a rally in behalf of
DIR. Mead for governor. He wants
buO OllCO uS 10 a phillLul "OihOi
and it is announced that he is pre-
pared to spend a lot of money to get
it.
Charles w. Gates has not an
nounced his candidacy, and it is
very doubtful if Mr.. Fleetwood can
check DR.. Mead's headlong advance
on the state capital.
Vermont cannot afford to turn
back in the course of progress by
electing DIR. Mead for governor this
year, says the Mortified News,
which doubts not that his objection
able methods will be rebuked" by
the Republican party. Dr. Mead's
canvass has been likened, with the
customary thrill of horror, to the
Mccullough campaign of some
years ago, yet McCullough's portrait
hangs in the executive chamber in
the state house, along with the por-
traits of other governors.
