GUILTY TAR PARTY
MEN SENTENCED
Three Who Confessed Get Jail
Terms of One Year
Each.

LINCOLN CENTRE, Kan, Nov. "a
The three members of the tar party,
e. G. Clark, Jay Fitzwater and Watson
Scranton. who pleaded guilty, were
sentenced to a year each in jail by
Judge Grover today.
Judge Grover summoned the jury in
the tar party case for a conference
this morning and was told no agree
ment had been reached. He gave them
a respite for breakfast, with the adj
monition that they must return to
their deliberations at the end of that
time. The court said he might keep
the jury together until tomorrow morn
ing.
All night long, under orders of Judge
Grover, the jurors had struggled in a
futile attempt to reach finding.
The testimony of Witnesses Chester
Anderson and e. G. Clark, which the
jury requested near midnight last night,
be read to them again, was gone over
many times.

In the hope that Judge George w.

story that Mrs Patterson Is now telling
on the stand. special Prosecutor Horace
G.. Benson confined his case at the start
to the shooting itself and to events i'm
mediately preceding it, but in his pos
session, 1t is declared, are letters writ
ten by Patterson to III brother in Chi
cago, in which he freely discusses his
affairs, and which, it is asserted, will
contradict Mrs. Patterson on many es-
sential points. These letters, now that
the court has ruled that Mrs. Patter-
sons story is admissible as evidence,
the Stat will seek to introduce.
Under these circumstances those hav-
ing knowledge of the case assert the
trial can be considered but scarcely be-
gun, and it is thought improbable that
the case will go to the jury until the
latter part of next week.
