Schofield Jury Fails To Agree
 No Conviction

The jury that had the fate of Ed ward Schofield of Wilton in it's charge failed to agree after deliberating for several hours yesterday, and at the request of the foreman it was dis. charged. Judge Burpee sent the jury. men back once with the hope that they could get together but the sec- ond conference was fruitful of no re- suit The accused was charged with arson and the state relied principally upon the testimony of his wife to se- cure the conviction, she having tes, tified to having overheard him make a threat that he intended to burn the barn of David H. Van Hooser of Wilton. The barn was burned soon after and Schofeld was arrested. It developed that Schofelds wife fell out with him and brought proceedings for divorce which she subsequently withdrew, apparently for lack of evil dence, and the jury was not impress ed evidently by the value of her tes- timony. The chances are that Scho- field will soon get his freedom for the state will hardly risk another trial upon evidence that has been tried once and found wanting

Ba|dwin's Speech At Bar Banquet
 Pleased Auditors

Governor s. E. Baldwin at the bar banquet in this city last evening said:
 "The Constitution State'' was the subject of Governor Simeon E. Bald win, who when he arose was cheered and greeted with a song. He spoke substantially as follows:
 was asked, g. few weeks ago, to go to the annual meeting of the New ' ork state Bar association, and de- scribe the results of our Practice Act of 1879. 1 was glad to be able to tell them. that I thought of the three systems of regulating civil actions we had chosen the best. Some states, you know, still stick to the old sep aration. of actions at law and bills in equity. Some regulate civil plead ing, down to the last act, by statute. And the third system, that adopted in England and Connecticut alone. I be- heve, thus far, is bottomed on a very short statute. leaving the rest to be worked out by rules and forms made by the judges, and changed by judges, if occasion occurs for change.
 T think We have the best form yet of this third system-oetter. than England's. In England, for instance, they have abolished demurrers. think that goes too far.
 We are not apt to slop over in Connecticut in legal reforms. We as a people, (and in every state with a history of two or three centuries, the people are pretty sure to have cer- tain general characteristics are characterized for moderation as well as for progressiyenesses We in vented here, in the Old Colony of Connecticut, the direct primary and the referendum, but we did run them into the ground.
 We kept the primary for the choice of our governor, deputy gov ernor, congressman and state sena- tors.
 we kept the referendum for large constitutional questions, that every body understood about and was in- trested in.
 T will tell you why we were so moderate in pushing our political in- yentions. The lawyers who naturally know most about the laws, were gen. erally opposed to pushing them to extreme. They were disinclined to favor political experiments, unless they were thoroughly convinced that they were safe.

 ''It is half truth; saying with truth enough to invite reflection. United States. Most of them have been lawyers. Most of the cabinet ministers have been-89 per cent. of them, to be exact.
 ''Let the World Laugh"
 s'I think well of the Conneceticut lawyer, and we'll of the bar at large.
 Private John Allen said once, at a dinner of the American Bar asso- citation, that he liked to be at such gatherings, for he nowhere else heard the lawyers so we'll spoken of.
 'Let the world laugh. If they get into trouble, they come to us. If they want new law, that is good for anything, they have to come to us to draft it.
 "Our profession teaches us some thing. It makes us of use to our country. Particularly is this true in a country under a written constitu- tion, which is the supreme law. Only a lawyer can decide where statute and constitution are claimed to con- fiict,-a lawyer, becomes a judge"
