The jury had been in con- tinuous deliberation for more than 18 hours. It was not learned how many ballots were taken.

He will remain at freedom under the same $10,000 bond which was provided after the death of the Slavin boy at Ora., Ind., last Thanksgiving Day. Prosecutor J.

Dilts an- WOMAN, ALLEGED TO BE KNIFE WIELDER, HELD Arrested As She is About to he Board Train—Victim Badly Slashed. Just as she was about to board a train ‘out of this city about 8:30 o'clock this morning, Mrs. Hudinski, wife of Michael Hudinski of 313 Washington street, was placed under arrest by Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson on a charge of assault- ing Steve Hudinski of 38 Wells street, Hartford, a cousin of her husband. The alleged attack, which was car< ried out with a cheese knife, and was a particularly vicious one, occurred about 6 o’clock last night in-a store conducted by Hudinski at the corner of Winter and Spring streets. Hudinski was taken to the hospital after he had succeeded in getting out of the reach of the woman, and I required 14 stitches to close wounfls in his left arm. His head was also badly cut.” He could .give no reason for, the attack other than to assume that the woman accused him' of being responsible for the sending of a let- ter to her husband telling of her al- leged actions with other men. Hudinski told the police he came to this city to visit his cousin, and a few minutes after his entrance into the store was attacked. At the police station this morning, following her arrest, and in the presence of her husband, the womah showed herself to be of a very fiery disposition. It has developed that everything was not as it should be in the Hudinsk: domicile, it being readily claimed by the husband that the woman’s affec- tions for a former “‘star’’ boarder has been the cause of domestic strife on many occasions in the past. A few months ago the woman com- plained to the police that her clothes had been slashed and cut in a dam- aging manner. Her husband was questioned at the time, but there was nothing to show that he was connect- ed with the affair. Later, her husband was taken to Waterbury to answer to a charge of assault on the man who was reputed to be Mrs. Hudinski's lov- er in that city. He proved an alibi and was discharged. Mrs. Hudinski told the police that after her flight from the city last night she spent the night at the Kliby house in Kensing- ton. STEAMSHIP NEWS. Genoa, May 28 —Arrived: Toarmina, New York.
