resulted then. While no official ac-
count of how the jury ever was made,
it is understood that there were nine
for conviction and three for acquittal.
The testimony which the State intro
duced this time, however was much
stronger and more convincing than
that presented in Perry county.
Leverett's counsel, however. made
a much stronger fight for his life and
his liberty this time than they did in
Ferry county. Criminal Jaw authori-
ties and lawyers who followed the case
of the last week, were profuse in their
compliments to the counsel of the de-
Tense. 1t was pointed out that the
testimony all along the line was weak
and at variance. The attorneys, how
ever, were able to so present this to
the jury during their arguments as to
cloud the minds of at least two of the
Jurors, which resulted in mistrial.
The work of District Attorney Hall
and of John R. Tally, the States rep
resentatives, was no less thorugh.
The way they had prepared their case
that is, had arranged to have their
witnesses in proper orler, and the tes-
timOny in the required sequence, re
suited in saving many hours of time,
and in making the case of the State
appear all the stronger.

"Ten to TWO" The Foreman Tells
the Court; Jury Then Discharged

"All right, then, you are dismissed, p"
Judge Johnson answered.
In a moment the II jurors started
for the exits in the front part of the
court room. They wanted to get out
of that place OF confinement, and into
the fresh afternoon air.
They were quickly surrounded, how.
ever, by a number OF attorneys, who
wanted to know what had been trans
piring behind those four walls for the
preceding 43 hours. The jurors, some
of them at least, had no hesitancy in
telling. But they made their telling
brief. AS has been stated, they want
ed to fill their lungs once more with
the afternoon air, and as quickly as
possible. they filed through the doors,
down the steps, out into the streets,
and separated, going in a dozen differ
ent directions to their respective
homes.
Leverett had nothing to say follow
ing the announcement that the jury
was hung, and that another trial would
be necessary.
He sat to the right and Immediately
behind the foreman of the jury, and
he watched him closely as he spoke
the few words to the court, telling the
latter that no verdict could be
reached.
If the prisoner dreaded going
through another ordeal similar to the
one he has just passed through, he
did not show it. He remained seated,

The fury filed into the court room,
showing more pep" and life than had
been expected. They had been locked
up in a single room since 10 o'clock
Monday night. Without exercise and
sunlight, without fresh air, except
what could come through the jury
room windows, and without commune
cation of any kind with the outside
world, it was thought that the jurors
would be lifeless. On the other hand
they stood up straight, as the court
asked if they had reached a verdict.
1--WE have not, Judge" replied the
foreman.
"No, we have not" repeated the
juror standing next to him.
Judge Johnson hesitated a moment,
and asked how the jury stood.
Ten to two" the foreman replied.
Ten to two?" the court repeated.
After another brief hesitation, he said:
That's too bad t seems a shame
that as you are that near a verdict,
you can't reach one

back, and give yoG one more trial,

piled.

Of their cells into the narrow hallway,
were lined up at the prison door when
the footsteps of the officer and the
prisoner were heard on the stairs.
Leveretts associates in jail seemed to
have taken more interest in the out
come of the trial than did the man
himself. Before the steel section had
been unlocked, they began firing ques-
tons at him.

Inf0 Courtroom Ahead of Jury
Continued From Page One.)

At a few minutes before O'Clock,
the door to the left of Judge Johnson,
opening from the hall into the court
room, was opened, and Leverett, ac-
companied by Sheriff HARRISON, passed
through, the prisoner being a step or
two in advance of the officer. The
case of r. D. Young, charged with
shooting with intent, was in progress
at the time, and District Attorney Hall
had just announced that the state
would rest. when Leyerett came
through the door.
Unshaven, with circles about his
eyes, and with a Quizzing look, the
man started to 90 toward the seat
which he had occupied during his own
trial, but quickly noted that it was
occupied. He hesitated a moment,
and turned his gaze upon the sheriff,
as if to ask for instructions. Judge
Johnson saw his dilemma, and in an in
slant asked him to take seat on the
other side of his stand, where there
were several vacant chairs.
The man walked in front of the
judges stand, carrying his hat Imply
in one hand, while the other was
dangling by his side He was yisibly
disturbed. and the careless expression
which had been so noticeable during

He seated himself as quickly as pos
sible, and began to look about the
court room. He quickly saw that
every eye was turned on him, and a
shade of white crept over the mans
face, one naturally of red complexion.
Judge Johnson. taking his watch
from his pocket, called the time.
He explained that it was then 4:45,
and that he did not think it best to
continue court any longer, as the jury
seemed tired.
He beckoned to Sheriff HARRISON
and directed him to bring in the Lev
erett jury. The officer disappeared
through the door leading into the hall,
and some one standing near Leverett
asked a nearby attorney if verdict
had been reached. The latter replied
that he thought it had not

PRAISES Government
FOR AID TO Farmers

An interesting feature of the meeting
last night of West Brandywine Grange
was an address by Professor Cromwell,
of the West Chester State Normal
School, who spoke at some length on the
assistance the Federal Government is
giving the farmers by the organization
Of farm bureaus and boys and girls
clubs. He told of the results of the gov
ernment survey made of farms in the
lower part of Chester county, Pennsyl-
vania.
There were selections by the Ryan
Quartet. Some time was devoted to
discussing questions touching on current
events.
The new master, Alfred Talley. and
Mrs. Talley, presented TO the grange a
pound cake whicn bore the inscription
'West Brandywine Grange" in frosted
letters. During the social hour the cake
was cut and passed around among the
members.
There will be an initiation on Janu
ary % when a class of a dozen or NOR,
will be received.
