Y., May 21.—The jury in the Barnes-Roosevelt 'libel | suit came in shortly before 11 o'eloek: today and the foreman announced that the jury had agreed upon a ver-| dict for the defendant. When the roll was called by the clerk of the court eleven of the jurors said they:| were in favor of a verdict for the dv' fendant, but the twelfth, Edward Burns, a Syracuse motorman, lroui in his seat and said, "I am for the plaintife.” Justice Andrews himself had been in- formed before the jury entered the room that & verdict had been found. The spec- tators were warned that apy demonstra- tion would “e met with severe punish- ment. Then toe jury was brought in and the foreman made bis ‘annouhcement. After Burns had dissented .Justice And- rews sent the jury back to its room. Ask Conference with Justice. Before entering the court room the Jury sent a note to Justice' Andrews ask- ing for a conference with him. Justice Andrews informed the twelve .men they could ‘apk any questions they desired in open court. The jurors talked among themselves for a minute or so and then announced they desired to return to their | room for further deliberation. \ The jury was trylng to decide the | question of costs and that alone. It was | apparent when the roll was called that some of the jurors were in favor of di- viding the costs, which at the most, it was sald would amount to less than §1,600, on which others were indifferent. The law of libel provides that the losér In & contest must pay the costs of the action. Lawyers said there was no way in which the costs could be divided If a verdict was returned. In event it was said, of Juror Burns refusing to agree with His eleven companions, the costs would be split. Colonel Roosevelt declined to comment upon the action of the jury, The expres. slon on his face, however, showed he was pleased as he possibly could be. His counsel sald thelr client was willing to divide tie costs f there was any way In which .1t “could be done. They made it plain in the presence of the defendant | that a verdict was the thing desired. Shortly after 12:30 o'clock a recess was taken until 2 o'clock this afternoon, with the fury still considering the case in its| room. A verdict, if any is found, can- not be returned beforé the opening of | court this afterncon Mr. Barnes was not present, having re- turned to Albany last night.
