A more comprehensive selling cam

Public demand for the Moline
knight has shown us that we must
have a larger dealer Representation

Mr. VanDervoort.
During the last season we have
constantly been behind our orders.
FOLLOWING the Chicago show we
stopped making any more dealer con-
tracts, as it was impossible at that
time to meet further demands on the
part of the dealers and consumers
proved to us conclusiyely that to meet
the demands we must create greater
facilities. increase the

daily newspapers in those territories
where we have dealer representatives"

Carmen Jury Has Strenuous Session.
After thirteen hours and fifteen

final and almost the first vote was
ten for acquittal and two for con-
v%iction. The two men who through
out the long ~sleepless night stood out
against the popular cry for acquittal.
were Joseph H. Aston. manager for a
publishing house of Port Washing
ton, and DR.. William G. Hovey. the
brawny salesman who occupied chair
No 4 in the jury box.
Haggard, sullen and hopeless. the
jurors gave up the fight at 1889 in
the morning and reported to Justice
Kelby that there was not a chance
of their agreeing. Their delibera-
tons were torn by arguments which
could be heard on the courthouse
steps, and the ten men who fought
for Mrs. Carman's liberation COM
bined in open warfare against Aston
and Hovey. They threatened to
throw Hovey "out of the window"
and Aston stood his ground, defying
them to carry out their threat.
Hovey, the giant. rushed to Aston's
side and declared that it would be
necessary to throw him out, also.
So serious did the matter become
that Hovey thrust the slighter Aston
behind him and prepared for an as
sault. So formidable did he loom up
before the open window that none
dared accept his challenge.
Five ballots were taken. The first
taken fifteen minutes after the jury
retired at ga on Saturday night,
resulted in a vote of 8 to 3 for ac-
q%uittal. The preliminary vote found
Marx Gottsch, the Hyde Park garden
er, lined up with Hovey and Aston.
But a half hours argument smashed
the opinion of Gottsch and he Joined
the majority.
Then scorning food and without
sleep, the twelve men wrangled
through the night. Bleared, hoarse
ana snarling, they declared their
hopelessness to Justice Kelby in a
court room which presented the
weirdest picture In the history OF
New York criminal cases.
Mrs. Carman. who was on trial for
the murder of Mrs. Bailey, was re-
leased on $4,000 bail by Justice
Kelby in the Kings county supreme
court, in Brooklyn. Accompanied by
her attorneys she started immediate
ly for her home in Freeport.
The district attorney had announc-
ed that he would not seek to have
Mrs. Carman tried again. Her W
counsel, on the other hand, said he
would demand a new trial as he
would not permit the indictment to
hang over his client.
