MASSES" CASE JURY

Sent Back Twice After Re-

Juror Sprains Knee

eight hours struggling to reach a
verdict the jury in the case of Max
Eastman and other editors of the
Masses was still out this morning
The case. in which the defendants were
charged with conspiracy to thwart
the operation of the draft act, went TO
the jury at 6 O'Clock Thursday night
and Il disagreement was reported to
the court yesterday afternoon.
Federal Judge Hand was asked
whether "a transcript of the testimony
might bc placed at the disposal Of the
Jury, but declined to comply with the
request because, he said, the volume Of
evidence taken might prove more of
a hindranCe than a help, as it would be
manifcstly impossible to review the
1000 pages of testimony with any de-
gree of thOrOughneSS.
The Judge then sent the jury back.
with instructions to make a further
effort to reach an agreement.
At II o'clock last night the foreman
of the Jury requested a conference in
open court with Judge Hand, saying
that il seemed impossible for the
iurors to reach a decision. He added
that after they had gone over the tes-
timony carefully a large majority had
agreed. but had been unable to win
over the minority.
After Mr.. Hillquit had moved fol
dismissal of the jury, Judge Hand
asked those jurors who thought de.
cision could be reached to hold VI
their right hands. Eight hands were
raised, whereupon the court was ad
iourned until 10 o'clock this morning
to allow the jury further time for de-
liberation
The foreman notified Judge HAND
that one juror had sprained a knee
since the case began and now was ir
great pain.
