Last night the jury came into court at 11:15 o'clock to ask The first ballot taken showed fi for s. conviction and seven for ttal. Later one of the jurors changed and the eight for acquittal. The next two bale lots stood three for conviction, nine for acquittal. After that they. stood two for conviction and ten for acquittal, Aud remained so until discharged. Considering the’ fact that there were only three witnesses to the killing, and that two ‘of them were the defendant and his wife, and the, other the wife of the murdered* man; it-is doubtful if a jury could be found that would convict on the evidence given. A motion to discharge the defendant will probably be made. “The jury was one of the oldest, in point of age of its members, that has ever been impanneled here, their combined ages being 782 years: The average of the jurors was 61 years; and ‘the oldest man on the jury, D.
