The star route jury were summoned Into court last evening at six lock, according to Judge Wylie’s announcement. Tue court room was crowded when they cam? in, many hanging about +] the court house during the recess. The foreman an- nounced that the jury had not agreed except as to one of the defendants, Judge Wyile sald the court could not take a verdict by plece-meal, and the jury would have t0 retire again. Another taken until 10 o'clock this morning. y was taken last night to the Natlonal Aid occupted the very rooins in whieh the Guiteau jurors spent nearly three months of their existon: In Court ‘This Morning. ‘The jury was taken from the hotel ta the court house this morning. At 10 o'clock the court room was crowded and it was diffientt for those whose business called them there to gain admission, All of the counsel were present. Of course all sorts of | views were expressed as to the standing of the | jury, but no one had any positive information. who arrived Lite, remained on the outskirts rowd In the court room. John W. Dorsey, sat near the counsel table, was accompanied by one of the little sons of Stephen W. Dorsey. Judge Wyle came upon the bench at a quarter past ten, He said immediately: “Ask the jury if they have any report to make,” and Deputy Mar- shal Williams left the room. : ‘The Jury Wave Not Agreed. Mr. Wilifams returned in less than two minutes, and whispered to the judge that the jury had not agreed. Julge Wylie sald, “Ask them to come down, I want to say something to them.” Mr. Wiliams again d-parted, A minute later the jury appeared. When the roll had been called the oreman announced that the jury had not agreed upon a verdict. Judge Wyile sald that as the court had taken a recess he desired the jury to¢ome.in and announce themselves that they had not agreed. Judge Wylie Said that the jury could retire again, A Proposition from the Jurors. Foreman Dickson, advancing, sald:—“The jurors desired me to present a proposition in court, and I submit it in writing. Further Instructions of Judge Wylie. Mr. Dickson tien handed up to the court a piece of paper, and when the judge had read it he sald: “The jury have arigut to be tmstructed by the court upon any diMiculty in regard to the law. As to the question of fact, thatwas their province. Now Iwill read your question, except the intro- part of ‘The court then glanced again over the paper and continued: “It seems from this that the jurors are divided in opinion in regard to whether there were one oF two co z er the 20th of May, 1 That I understand to be the substance of ne questi Mr. Dic:son nodded. “Well,” continued the judge, “that ts a question of fact.” Tendeavored to advise the jury yeste day in reg.ird to the law to be applied to the facts in referonce to that question dean only. repeat | WhatT then said: that if the jury are of the on that since the 20th Of Mity, 1879, the evi- shows that there were two conspiracies {t 13 impossible to find a verdict under this indictment, |Tuis is an indictment for one conspiracy.

I was satisied that’ without arrogating the full power of the court, that thls jury would be content to accept with constderation the views Of the court on a question of law.” Exceptions of Counsel for Defense.} “We except to your honor’s instruction,” sald Mr. Totten, Juror McCarthy’s Question. Mr. ‘on then submitted another question in writing, which he sad came from Juror Mc- Carthy. “This,” sald Judge Wylle, “13 a fair question for a juryman to ask.’ Further Remarks of the Court, Making the Law Clear. Continuing the judge sald: “The question was in substance, what the case would be if the Jury was salisfled of the existence of a conspiracy on the Part of some ot the defendants and the dates of the overt acts did not agree.” “I don’t wonder gentlemen,” sald Judge Wylle, “that your minds shonid become somewhat con- fused in regard to an indictment covering some elghty-odd pages of printed qnatter, especially ag Jurors-ure not accustomed to examine papers of Wat character and don’t know what a u of irrelevant matter is generally tumbied into an indictment. I don’t mean to say that there is anything in this indictinent that was not prudent.” The court sald further that the indict- ment Was based on the act of May 17th, 1879. ‘The court read the statute. ‘The jury, hé said, had been sworn to try the auestion of conspiracy under thatlaw. If they believed that these defendants or any of them were gullty of that conspiracy that was One step settled. ‘The next question Was as to the overt acts. There were forty or fitty pages of this Indictment employed in setting out distinct ov ‘ts. Itauy one of these overt acts were correctly set out it was enough, although all the others might bs incorrectly set out. He had called tuelr attention yesterday to the Vermilion and Sioux Fulls route. “He had himself compared the overt actin the indictment with: that, in proof. ‘The overt act in that case corresponded in terms and dates with that in the indictment, if they be- Meved the evidence. He had confined’ himself as a specimen to the facts proved regarding that route. Ifas a matter of law, in their judgment, one conspiracy was established as in existence since May 20, 1879, and 1t was In existence at the date of these overt acts, or any one of them, and any one of thse defendants belonged to the’ con- Splracy, the case was made out: Mr. Ingersoll, Mr. Me: and the Court ; Mr. Ingersoll sald he would fike the court to in- struct the jury that they must not consider any overt act unless it had heen proyed exactly as laid, and that {t was Impossible to make one defendant responsible for what another had done unless the relations between them was established. ‘The court here interrupted Mr. Ingersoll, saying that he did not intend to have questions argued aan ‘This was a talk between the court and the ur, ir. Merrick insisted 1 ugsting, in reply to Mr. Ingersoll, that the coure call’ attention to the dates of the orders of Brady. The Court said that Mr. Mervick’s remarks were unnecessary. Judge Wylie Making the Law Clear as to Overt Acts. Judge Wylie then repeated, in substance, what he had said to the jury relative to overt acts, say- ing that if they found the regarding one corresponded with the charge, that, he'told them, under his responsibility to the law, Was sufficient. “Be sure,” he satd, “that you have a conspiracy, and then be certain that . pare Gre ce Tone overt act as laid, are concerned juestion 13 setgled.” Messrs, Henkle and exceptions, Mr. Totten toall Lbgen sald. Judge Wylie sald that rn of ee ‘Were exceptionable, “I Phe added, “It is no jest at all. I don’t think that “what I have said is gratifying to the know that the gen- temen don’t like the law. Another Question by Juryman Mc- Carthy. Juryman McCarthy asked if the jury must take the dates in the indictment as correct. He said thatif the dates did not correspond they had no way to find it out, as they had no dates. . “Tam willing that the jury should take the en- tre record,” safM Mr, Ingersoll “That would be very satisfactory to us,” sald Mr. McCarthy. “I told you,” said Judge Wylie, “that it would not be necessary for you to remember the.a all. If you remember one it ts sum The Jurymen’s Notes, Mr. Henkle suggested that Foreman Dickson be allowed to take the notes he had taken to the jury room. “I would prefer not, sir,” said Mr. Dickson. “I would rather have the papers.” Mr, Bitss sald he was willing that the jury should take all the printed exhibits In the case. Mr, Ingersoll suggested that the jury be allowed to take the printed record. The court would not consent to this, remarking that there were two pages of speeches to every page of evidence. Juryman Hoimead sald that nearly all of the jurors ad taken notes with ‘the view of using Me rhe counsel for defense and Mr. Merrick con- sented to the jurymen taking their notes to the roomn with thei. Recess Till 2 O°clock. “Well, gentlemen,” satd Judge Wyle, “you may take youc notes, We wiil meet here again at one o'clock, Foreman Dickson sald that they would rather walt until 2 o'clock. shen make it 2 o'clock,” sald Judge Wylle. ‘The jury then at 11:05 retired, and the court Tooin Was Soon cleared. THREE BAILIFFS KEPT GUARD over the Jury room, and repelled the approaches of inquisitive reporters. An instance occurred showing the great care exercised to prevent com- munication with the jury. The jurors wanted to smoke, and one of the jurors sent out to get a box of cigars at his own expense. One of the bailiffs performed the errand, and when the box was taken up stairs, before it entered the sacred portals of the jury room, it was opened and the box and its contents’ were thoroughly tnvesti- gate The Scene at 2 O'clock. At2o’clock the court-room was crowded until there was not standing room. Most of the defend; ants and counsel were prompt in their attendance. Messrs. Merrick, Bliss and Ker arrived a few min- utes after 2 Judge Wylie arrived at 2:10, and directed that the jury be asked If they had agreed to their ver- dict. Deputy Marshall Williams, who discharged the errand, reported to the Judge that the jury were taking a vote, and would send an answer in a few minutes. Judge Wyllie at once announced to the counsel in substance what Mr. Williams had said. Recess Until Six O°Clock. After waiting till half-past 2 o'clock, no word having been received from the Jury room, Judge Wylie said: “ Itappears to me that this jury has not made up their minds yet. We will take a fur- ther recess unl 6 o’cloc The crowd at once dispersed, and word of the Judge's action was taken to the jury. Review of the Trial. The printed record of the star route trial up to. to-day covers 3,180 pages, or more than 700 pages more than the record of the proceedings of the Guiteau case in the Criminal Court. The Gulteau trial in its day was unsurpassed in the District for is length. The star rout: trial, however, which began on the ist of June last, exceeds’ it in the respect named. One of the government counsel sald to a Srar reporter to-day that the cases of Brady, Price and others now un- der indictment would not, he thought, require so jong a@ trial as this. -Ta-this trial one day was con- sumed In Impanneling the jury. Five days were taken up in the opening anguiments, and then the government occupied the time until July 31 giving testimony. ‘The testimony for both sides was all In on August 9, and from that time until yesterday the court and jury were engaged In hearing the argu- ments of counsel.
