 HANDS OF THE JURORS.
AN EARLY VERDICT RUMORED
Judge Quinn, However, Announced That He Would Not Receive the Verdict Until Tuesday at the
 Morning Session of Court.

Salem. Mass, Nov. 25.-The fate ot Joseph J. Ettor. Arturo Giovannitti and Jos. Caruso, charged with respon- sibility for the murder of Anna Lop- izzo, in strike riot at Lawrence last winter is reported tonight to have been determined by the jury which tried them, but the verdict will not be known until tomorrow.
 Less than an hour after Judge Joseph Quinn had left the court house at o'clock tonight, with the an. nouncement that he would not receive verdict until tomorrow the jurors filed from their room and went to their hotel for supper. After supper they retired to their rooms and the report spread quickly that a verdict 1 had been reached. Judge Quinn, t was declared had been informed O. the report but did not alter his decis sion not to accept the findings Of the Jury tonight. When the jury left the court house it had been deliberatine five hours
 Officers of the court, attorneys ia- terested in the case and anxious friends of the accused remained about the court house until late hour but their hopes for a reception of yer dict were unrewarded Scores O. rumofs as to the nature of the find ing were circulated These embraces every possible form.
 The case was gl ii in the jury af ter Judge Quinn had delivered a lengthy charge in which he gave the linstruetion that neither Ettor nor Giovannitti could be found guilty of murder in the first degree.
 The evidence relating to these two defendants" said the court does not warrant conviction for murder in the first degree, because it is not con tended that either ur them premedl- tated the death of any one"
 .foT CaTuso however, the instruc tions did not preclude the electric chair. Should the jury hnd him guilty of participation in the fatal riot, the court charged. it might find aim guilty of murder in the first O. second degree. hopeful instruction fer this prisoner, however, was that
 
 guilty of first degree murder, must be satisfied that he or his confeder- ates. acting with him, premeditatel taking human life.
 TLe instructions also eliminated the possibility of verdict for manslaugh- ter against any of the defendants. The very nature of the indictments pre- cluded such verdict, the court as serted Ettor and Giovannitti must be found guilty of murder in the sec ond degree or acquitted.
 Hundreds of friends and sympa- thizers of the defendants were in Salem today walking. the streets near the courthouse until long after dark. One man who refused to move from the court house entrance when order. ed away by the police. was locked up on the charge of obstructing the side walk His arrest did not appear to anger the crowd and there was no demonstration when the prisoner was taken away. Throughout the day and night, however. the streets near the court house were patrolled and re- serve force was held on duty.
 Squads of mill workers walked back and forth in front of the court house for hours watching the windows of an upper room where the jury was deliberating. Frequently members of the jury could be seen near the Win dows Shortly before o'clock the jurors were marched under guard of six deputies to their hotel. It Was said then that they were only going to supper. but the report spread later that an agreement had been reached
 The prisoners were taken from the court house to the jail as soon as the Jury retired. Giovannitti just before he left, was handed cablegram from his mother in Italy, message of cheer and mothers blessing. When he read it, he showed it to Ettor and then tc their attorneys.
