Iaudience neat compliment on it's pa tience, and urged it's continuance which was responded to by strict quiet and order.
 Sheriff Webb and his deputies worked all day in the matter of keep ing the crowd comfortable and quet, and this contributed much 10 the or der of the day.
 The setting in the court at the ey- ening session was particularly Inter testing. The audience began to gather long before the hour of s o'clock, when court was to be convened, and he seats were all filled, the aisles crowded. the gallery packed. and a short while later even the outside cor riders crowded 70 capacity with audit ors
 ] There were many ladies in the audi ence, most of whom were from the best families of the city, whose pres ence was handsome compliment to the interest the public has taken in following this famous trial, About the rail were seated the rel atiyes of John Rutherford, his wife at one side. his mother near an el- bow. the little brown haired daughter about his lap, and other members of the family near. Ben Murray. who is indicted also for this killing, too, was in the court room, and he was seat ed between his wife and mother the little infant children being cared fer
 in their laps.
 Relatives of the Houpt brothers. also interested in this case were seated about the inner rail while there were also present the relatives and families of attorneys, court offi- cia!s. county officials. and close friends of the parties.
 Of the Chitwood families there were present two sisters. one brother and brother in-law. Mrs. Dan God win. the sister who has always taken an active interest in the prosecution Of the case was the central figure Of these She sat at the attorney's table stolidly watching the procer1ings ~- she had done throughout the trial un- | til in some of the orotorical flights of the prosecutors descriptive pow CT of the detail of the tragedy that marked her brothers death she gave vent to tears.
 During one of these periods Attor- ney James E. Hogue. of counsel for the defense, sent up to the court a written objection to the sister oI the deceased being permitted to weep in in the presence of the jury during the prosecutors argument, but the court gave no heed to the objection, over kruled it. and an exception was saved by the defense to the ruling. Other exceptions were marked dur ing the progress of the argument of the prosecutor. but on minor points. When the announcement fwas made jtnat me jury was ready 10 report there was furry about the court room. The court had requested the audience to moye out and away at the conclusion of the arguments. and be- fore the jury retired, but there hal remained most ail of the principals to this issue and their close friends The women interested particularly re- mained about the court room, waiting in the hope that an agreement would be reached the tension of the ex- treme situation lessened before the nights rest.
 Before the jury filed in for it's re. port Sheriff Weeb placed two deputies about inside the rail The defense and the friends of he defense were about the rail across the attorney's table, and Dan Goodwin. his wife and other relatives of the slain man mod  estly occupied seats near the rail Of the judges desk. A verdict either way would probably have resulted in a scene of some kind. and the tension was high. but the statement of an.im- possibility to reach an agreement al least for the present eased the situa- tion.
 In the event of mistrial there Is much doubt as to what the next step will be in this famous case. The de- fendants, both Murray and Ruther lords are anxious to get results Theg have anticipated an acqu.ttal Their counsel will probably ask that the issue be tried over again if this jury can not get verdict. or that at least they be admitted to liberty under bond. Prosecutor Wood will contest lany arrangement for liberty under bond.
