Your reporter says: “During the long time that the jury wrestled with the case it was understood on good au- thority that they took several ballots, and that these showed they stood § to 4 on the proposition to give a ver- Craney, with The truth is, and this statement can be substantiated upon the highest au thority, that at no time in their de liberations did the jury vote on the question of awarding damages to Craney. - On the contrary at the close of their deliberations, they stood § to 4 in favor of the defendant, Donovan, with 2 additional jurors in his favor, who declined to vote unless the re- maining 2 of the 13 jurors would join with them and so reach an agreement.
