verdict should be reported.

On yesterday ten of the ju,ors went without their noon meal Two of them sent to restaurant and paid for their noon lunch out of their own pockets. The others were offered dinners by Sheriff Brewster, who sa'd he would personally pay for them, Int the jurors said they would rather go hungry than permit the Sheriff to he the host, when the county should bear the expense under the law. Sheriff Brewster said that he did not want to be in contempt of court, but aft or reading over the law governing sucn matters. he, too. came to the conclis- lion that the county should provide the dinners.
 Judge Grace is undoubtedly the ',eH: iurist on the bench in Arkansas. Tie is learned and fair. His knowledge of the law is far superior to mos men in judicial circles But one ;ury , should not be made to suffer for the short comings of others.
 Tn recent trial in the circuit court a. negro was tried on a murder charge and it was a cold blooded murder it that-a man had been shot in the back for apparently no cause-and tf4e fury was unable to agree. The evl-
 dence and the instructions of the court almost compelled the jury to find the defendant guilty as charged. Bu: the jury had to be discharged be- cause it could not agree. It was not held as long as the Riley jury, nrt near so long, for the present jury is

 who has been referred to as the "watchdog of the county treasury doubtless has this apparently unne-

TIRN THEM LOOSE.


 The jury in the case of the State against Msmie Riley, charged with manslaughter in connection with the killing of former Patrolman John Wilson, in the latter's saloon on West Fourth avenue on Mardi Gras night cannot agree. According to a sta e ment made to Judge Grace yesterday morning in the Jefferson circuit court the jurors stand to 1, but just or what side the majority of them are was not made known. The jurors have been "balttling orally" over the evidence and instructions for moe than four days. They have been pen ned up in little jury room and ex- capting a few evening walks, ill charge of deputy sheriff, they have had little or no exercise. Several of the jurors have been kept from thelr business duties longer than they had anticipated and two of them were re- ported ill yesterday.
 Notwithstanding these hardsh IDS Judge A. B. Grace gave an order tell ing the jurors that if they enjoyed any more meals it would not be at the expense of the county. If the law is correctly Quoted in ,the statute book Judge Grace seems to be over stepping his legal authority in this one regard The Law plainly says that all 1 jurors in criminal cases shall be pro- vided with meals, which shall be se- cured by the sheriff and paid for by the county Judge Grace has not in- timated how long he intends keeping 1 the Riley jury in harness. He has helard from them twice since the ill., S. ructions were issued to them and each time theirs was reported to he a hopeless case. Judge Grace told the jurors that he could not get a more intelligent or better set of ma,l together to serve in a murder case and he sent them back to the jury room And still they have reached nc verdict.
 If Judge Grace is correct in his be- lief and the personnel of the iasy bears him out in his statement thor there seems to be no further reas,,' why the jurors should be held Ion ger They are men of intelligence, evAry- one of them. They ought to be ahl' to tell right from wrong. They ar' doubtless conscientious in their be lief that the woman is guilty or ;nno cent. They have doubtless argued ev. cry side of the case and the instrl" tons and still they cannot agree What is to be accomplished by lSea2in; a jury longer than these men h2v heen penned up?
