second ballot was g to 3. It stayed that way all night Wednesday. All morning the ballot was II to 1. I was the one. It was awful. They did everything to get me to come around. They argued. They swore at me. Finally I begged them to throw me out. Kick me out, for Gods sake, boys I told them. They didn't do it. I wish they had. They gave a doubt to everything. One fellow, whose name don't remem- Der, said: I wouldn't convict her if someone had seen her put the arsenic into the water I asked him why and he said he wouldn't do it and go out into the town. He was afraid, too, reckon"
 An important point in the jurors discussion of the evidence upon which the sentiment for acquittal settled, according to Heyman, was the testi- mony of Dr. J. W. Meyers, the state witness whom the defense savagely attacked. The jurors were unwilling to convict Mrs. Schenk upon the physicians statement.
 'I fought my best" Heyman said. 'I think it's awful that everyone knows the identity of the twelfth man. It isn't right. I'm up against it properly. And I've always tried to do right. No one's ever said any, thing about my honesty before. I've got a wife and son. That makes it hard. And all because I tried before Almighty God to do my duty.''
 The rumors of alleged attempted bribery are not taken seriously by the prosecution or defense.

18 OUNCES FOR 3 CENTS
What It Costs to Produce Rum Tn Honduras A Government Monopoly

washington Jan. PA monopoly Of the manufacture of rum in Honduras is held by the Government and the business is conducted on the basis or very liberal profit. according to a tends to the interests of the United States in the Republic. The Govern
 nent contracts with distfllers in vari- ous parts of the country for suppiies of rum. One of these informed Hae- berle that it cost three cents to pro- duce a bottle containing IS ounces. It is sold to the Government for seven cents and by the latter distributed among the ultimate consumers at 6O cents a bottle. The rum is called euaro and is made from sugar cane.
 As to the need of roads Haeberle says:
 of TegucigaIpa said that he is at present transporting machinery to his farm. 20 miles east of the city. Dur ing the last week the oxen advanced three miles. At many places his men had to stop and fix the road before proceeding.
 sNTo transport heavy machinery to the San Juancito mine from the coast requires from two to two and half months. sometimes seven weeks from Tegucigalpa to the mine. a distance of 21 miles. For 12 out of these 21 miles the block and tackle must be used, and it takes from 30 to 50 oxen to move piece of machinery weighing over six tons.'
 Haeberle also makes some observa- ton on the Panama hat industry to this effect:
 About 15.000 of these hats are made annually by women of Santa Barbara. The palm leaf. from which they are made, is called sjunco'. The most tender leaves are selected and exposed to sulphur smoke. moisture. and the rays of the sun. The price is about IS cents cold for two dozen leaves, the amount needed for one hat It takes about two weeks to make an ordinary hat and one month to make a fine one.
 "A round block. called norma. is used as a form for making the crown. After this part Is finished a table is used. provided with one or more holes, into which the crown Is dropped and the rim woven on top of the table. These hats are sold from $1.20 to s14, a according to ffleir quality. They are made during the wet season. as the straw breaks during the dry. Even in the wet season a damp cloth is con- stantly used to moisten the straw while weaving. When they are fin ished. they are placed in large box and again subjected to sulphur fumes, after which they are ready for the market
