ONE JUROR Ties UP
DARMES-TEOOY CASE
justified In Calling Barnes
Corrupt Boss.
JURY WANTED TO DIVIDE
COST BETWEEN LdTIGANTS
Verdict Had Been Agreed On, With
Proyiso OF Splitting Costs, But When
Judge Said This Was Illegal. Burns
Lined Up For Barnes.

Syracuse. n. r.. May at.-one man is
Theodore Roosevelt was justified In
calling william Barnes a corrupt boss,
Shat man lis Edward Burns, Republican
in politics. motorman by trade.
He is obstructing a clean-cut verdict
not, so far as can be told, because he
believes that Mr.. Barnes is entitled to
damages. but because the idea got
firmly wedged into his head that
Colonel Roosevelt should be made to
share the expenses of the trial with
Mr. Barnes At IL P. NJ. when the
jury was locked up for the night,
thirty lone hours and twenty minutes
of reasoning, entreaty and persuasion
by the eleven Jurors who stood up in
open court this morning and voted
sQuareiy for Roosevelt had failed to
shake the stubborn Mr.. Burns
Whether or not Justice Andrews will
conclude at ! o'clock tomorrow morn
ing when he again summons the jury
before him. that there Is still chance
for the eleven to convince the one, is
matter known only to the justice. II
will depend upon the bearing and the
attitude of the jurors and upon the
nature of the report of the foreman,
Warren NJ. Summers
Outlook Not Favorable.
The outlook for final agreement does
not seem favorable.
The attitude of Burns, juror Number
2. according to the New York style of
seating Jurors, but Number II accord
ing to the reverse method that obtains
here, produced a situation that startled
Justice. lawyers. everybody having to
do with the trial. The city of SYRIA
cuse. which had taken great pride in
the case, is buzzing with anger and
chagrin. There is comment everywhere
that stigma has been put on the city.
There is gossip of an extremely un-
pleasant character, but which IL would
be neither necessary nor proper to de-
tail.
Attitude of Burns.
Mr. Burns attitude was simply thus:
In the understanding of Justice An
drews. of counsel and of all others
in the court room, Mr.. Burns acqui-
escea II, verdict for Roosevelt with the
other jurors.
After the other jurors had agreed
to couple with the formal verdict a
SUGGESTION that Roosevelt and Barnes
be required TO divide the expenses OF
the trial equally; then. when Justice
Andrews, moved by every requirement
of law and propriety, Informed the jury
that no verdict with such a suggestion
as that attached could be accepted.
Burns cast aside his disbursement
with the eleven and lined himself up
definitely for Barnes
The twelve appear to have been In
substantial accord upon the vital
points OF evidence, and then all OF a
sudden Burns wrecked the agreement
because the Justice could not permit
the Jury to say how the trial expenses
should be apportioned.
