to-day for the second time on the
charge of having bribed fellow me M

iy, which resulted in disagreement
after the jury had been out 115 hours,
similar effort was made In vain.
Wants Trial in Sprfn gfeId.
The opening argument for the de-
Tense was made by Attorney W. S.
Forrest. who laid great stress on the
contention that the Cook county court
had no Jurisdiction, and asserted that
the proper place for the trial is in
Springfield, H., before the Sangammon
county court.
Various points of law which were
presented to Judge McSurely in the
first trial again were advanced by Mr..
Forrest, who insisted that promise
OF agreement to bride and not the pay
ment of money was the essence of the
crime of bribery. The opening argu-
ment had not been completed whens
the noon recess was taken.
