BEFORE REPORTING THIS MORNING THEY WILL HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP 89 HOURS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Records of recent years regarding long deliberations by juries are being
 smashed by the Benito Alto jury, which before it will possibly report this morning will be out S9 hours.
 Alto is charged with having solicited bribe from the Birch Brothers.
 The jury was locked up at 5:30 o'clock last Friday night and late last night was put to bed after another day of argument and disagreement. In the long and weary session which they have faced they have reported twice and each time it has been the same, mo verdict" The first time it was Saturday about noon and they reported that they could not agree. Judge Smith gave them written in- structions and told them to try and come to some agreement. They were returned to the jury room and did not ask to report all day Sunday. Mon day about II o'clock ray of hope that they had probably reached an agreement and that his fate had been decided one way or the other must have been felt by Benito Alto for the jury asked to be taken before Judge Smith again. When they reached the court room at 2 o'clock after all the attorneys had been found, it was the same story, Foreman A. c. Oliver saying: Your Honor, it is impossible for the jury to agree upon a yer dict Judge Smith gave them fur ther instructions and told them to deliberate on the question again and bring in a verdict They were then turned over to Bailiff Tom McMahon and taken back to their cramped quarters to fight probably for an other "A hours.
 The only case that is remembered 1 oy old-timers to have equaled this | ,ase is that of Mat Black, who was | ried for murder. This was in the | )0s when Buckley O'Neil was sheriff. i The jury was out three days and four lights.
 More recently was the Leonard White case in which the jury was put about 43 hours White was on rial for the murder of a goatherder nd he was found not guilty. This ase occurred about two years ago ext September.
 In the recent Bracken liquor selling ase in which the first jury disagreed he F men were out over 50 hours.
 From the three preceding cases it ooks favorable for Alto as in the rst two in which the juries were out or long period the defendants were cquitted while in the last the jury isagreed.
