JURY IN HICKEY CASE
 LOCKED UP AT 1o,30 Had Failed to Reach Verdict After Ninc Hours DeIiberation.


 Buffalo, \. T., Dec 2O.--After nine hours deliberation the jury in the case of J. Frank Hickey, accused of mur- dering Joseph Joseph, the seven-year- old Lackawanna boy, was unable to reach g verdict and the twelve men were locked up for the night. If a verdict is reached during the night 1t will De sealed and reported te Justice Brown in supreme court tomorrow morning.
 The jury took the case at 1.so o'clock this afternoon. District Atz torney w. c. Dudley summed up for the prosecution and Daniel V. Mur- plly, the prisoners attorney, spent an hour in presenting the evidence in a light designed to convince the jurors that Hickey was and is mentally ir- responsible.
 The conflicting expert testimony as to the state of Hickey's mind at the time he killed the boy concededly is the point over which the jury split. Two alienists for the defense gave it as their opinion that Hickey did not know he was doing a wrong act when he strangled the boy; two others for the prosecution took an opposite view and g. fifth, called by Justice Brown on behalf of the court, gave it as his opinion that Hickey was sane when the crime was committed.
 The fact that one of the prosecu- tion's experts said under cross exam ination that Hickey undoubtedly was subject to outbursts of murder lust which he was unable to control, it was thought by the attorneys in the case. had helped Hickey But Justice Brown in his charge laid particular stress upon this point when he said:
 The law does. not recognize any form of insanity which can differen- tiate between right and wrong. If the prisoner knew 1t was wrong to strangle that little boy, he Is guilty, even though 1t be said that he could not avoid doing it. If he knew it was wrong he was responsible for that act"
 At 10.So p. m; Justice Brown or dered the jury locked up for the night.

DRIVES HAKF CLAD GIRLS
The spirit of Christmas is over
the land-or so we are told in de-
partment store advertisements.
And yesterday there was a fire
in an old and rickety building at
Lake street and Fifth avenue,
There were over one hundred
women working in the building
when the fire broke out.
Among them were the en-
ployes of the Model Luch Club,
most of whom were changing
from street to working clothes
when the alarm of fire spread.
Mrs. Kathryn. Creedon, Mrs.
Agnes Ditch and Elizabeth Hueb-
ner had no shoes on. Mrs, Ella
Butman, Gertrude Stoeckle, Elsie
Wilson and Mrs. E Van Delden
were only partially dressed.
In terror of their lives, these
half clad women ran to the street.
1t was bitterly cold. The Their
mometer stood at S above zero.
The women, frightened, help
less, shivering, sought refuge IN
the shop of the United Cigar
Stores on the southwest corner of
Lake and Fifth.
This peeved Harry Gufey, who
is chief clerk in the store, and
very proper person indeed, with
an eye to business. It was obvious
that the, women would interfere
with business; m fact they hardly
looked respectable, half clad and
shoeless as they were.
So Harry Gufey called po-
