FORD JURY DlsAeREEs.
Mistrial in Case of Woman Charged
With Blackmailina Warriner.

Cincinnati, Feb AFTER twenty
four hours of deliberation the jury In
the case of Mrs. jeanette Stewart
Ford. charged with Matchmaking
Charles L. Warriper. defaulting local
treasurer Of the Big Four railroad, was
unable to reach an agreement and was
discharged.
Judge Swing stated after he dis
missed the jury that he had been In
formed that on the last ballot eight
Jurors had stoodsfor acquittal and four
for conviction.
The unexpected end to the sensation
al case was explained by two Of the
jurymen as due to the fact that ma
jority of their colleagues refused to
give any credit to the testimony of
Warriner They asserted that man
who had confessed to embezzling for
twenty-five years would not hesitate
to perjure himself against woman
whom he believed to have been the
cause of his exposure.
Prosecutor Hunt announced that he
expected to bring the woman to trial
again within the next three weeks. AT
the same time he intimated that he
might abandon the case.
He asserted that the result Of the
trial was due to Species of dis
eased mentality which seemed to affect
American jurors and prevent them
from convicting woman on any
charge" He declared the same process
of reasoning was evident in the SYM
pathy displayed for Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw and Nan Patterson, to both OF
whom he compared Mrs. Ford.
Mrs Ford, who has been out on
bonds of $2,500, will have to renew her
surety today.

nounced today that the second trial OF

REBELS WIN TWO BATTLES.
Nicara0uan Army Routed in Two Sc.
we're Engagements.


Bluefelds, Nicaragua, (By wireless
and cable), Feb. 5-By special courier
and wire, General Mena announced to-
night to the followers of Provisional
President Estrada that he has admin
istered a crushing defeat to the forces
Of General Vasquez, in command of the
administration army.
Two battles, according to General
Mena, were fought. The first was at
Lagarita, near the heights Of Santo
Tomas, where the Madriz forces were
routed from strong entrenchments
with the loss of 500 men killed, wound
ed and captured.
The second battle was fought at
Santa Clara, where General Vasquez
and General Garrido made another
stand against the victorious rebels.
They were utterly routed, the Estrada
forces capturing one Maxim gun and
many prisoners. The rear guard ac-
ton ended hostilities for a time, the
government forces retreating to Santo
Domingo.
General Chamorro, commander-in-
chief Of the Estrada forces, has entirely
recovered from his wounds and is now
in Grenada, prepared to resume active
command of the army.
General Mena has sufficient men un-
der his standards to isolate the forces
Of General Vasquez, and another bloody
battle, which will probably end in the
surrender of Vasquez and his men, is
momentarily expected.
The Estrada forces are met every
where with great enthusiasm, and the
interior towns are rallying to the sup
port of the revolutionary chieftain, Vol
unteers have flocked to General Cha
morro's standard in great numbers, and
it is estimated that General Estrada
now has in the field fully 5000 fully
armed and equipped men to continue
the war gainst Madriz and his follow
ers.
Later messages from the front indi-
cate that the government forces are in
critical position. Generals Vasquez
and Rivas, commanding the Madriz
forces, are hemmed in at Santo Domin-
go, completely surrounded and facing
inevitable capture.
