At in o'clock last night the Juiy In Kennj untitle. t tilal went to bed with out having t cached nn agreement. No Inkling of how they stood leaked out, nml all that was known on the outside was that they weie cairylng on loud niguments that almost boideied on quiii i els. rp to 2 o'clock this mottl ing their loom was not lellghted. The case was given to the" Jlliy at 2.0 yestciday afternoon. Judge Lovo intuit: n charge that vvns lonsldeied ver favorable to tho defendant. Ho told them If they believed tho defend ant's story of the killing und there was nothing to contradict It, thev should bring In a verdict of Justifiable homicide. Attorney John J. Murphy made the closing argument for the defense, dwelling particularly upon tho theory of self-defense and making the assei tlon that had Kennv, under the cir cumstances, failed to stilke ns he did, lie voiild have been guilty of suicide, the most ronatdly form of homicide. Assistant District Attorney Thomas, in ( losing for tho commonwealth, said that while the inosceution did not in sist on a vtidict of mm dor in tho Hist degree, he believed that there were ele ments of malice and piemedltatlon that the Juiy should tonslder. THE MINOR CASES. Criminal court vvns enlivened by two laughable Incidents yesterday. In court loom No. 2 tho case of the common wealth against Frank Mllllan was called. The ptosecutor, Frank Reese, was put on the stand and when he had finished telling how his hoy had been assaulted by Mllllan, Assistant District Attorney Hnrils turned to the man at the defendant's table and, seeing tint ho had no nttornej, told him that ho hid the privilege of asking the wit ness any questions he might see lit The man nt tho defendant's table lose to his feet and, In a bad mlMuie of German and English, piocoeded to tell tho point that he never saw the piosecutor hefote nnd ns to that "Sit down," sharply commanded Judge Mc Clure "You'io not here to make a speech. If jou have anv iiuestlons to ask this witness, ask them. If not, we'll call another." He sat down and, with a negative nod of his head, indicated he had no questions to ask. Another witness was put on the stand and was pioceedlng to tell how it all happened when Judge McClure, through ovei hearing some mutteilngs of the man at the defend ant's table, dlscoveied that they weie tiylng the vwoug man. It developed that he was Frank Miller, and that he was defendant in a similar case that was on tho list for yestetday. He heaid Crier Snyder call "Frank Mllllan" and followed the directions to go Into couit room No. 2. The other Incident happened in the main court room. Ciler Snvdor was calling "John Smith, Tohn Smith. John Smith. Bilng foith the body of Mlchnel McAndrew as you have ngrccd to do," etc., when a woman got up in the back of tho room and said, "Mi. Smith is dead." "Then bring him before the court," bellowed the crier. Ho thought tho woman had said "Ml. Smith is here." THEY THREW STONES.

The bojs denied ever having thiown stones nt a tiain or havlnsr shot a revolver nt anything. The evidence disclosed that they were all under fourteen vears of age, and their counsel contended that the case should be taken from tho Jury, ns the commonwealth had not shown malice or cupacity on the pan of the defendants to commit crime. A ver dict of not guilty was directed by the court, but the disposition of the costs wns left with the jurv. Adolph Shafer, charged with feloni ously wounding William Hall, was ac quitted The case of lniceny by bailee, in which Peter Hnettich ehaiged Joseph but extremely good for tho sufferer from that harassing disease is Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. No medi cine can compare with this great remedy in the prompt and perma nent aid it gives in all bronchial affections. It stops tho cough, soothes tho irritated throat, and in duces refreshing sleep. "I had a bronchial trouble of such a per sistent and stubborn character that the doc tor pronounced it incurable with ordinary remedies, but recommended me to try Ajer'a Cherry Pectoral. Ono bottle cured mo." J. C. WOODSON, P. M , Forest Hill, W. Vo. "A short time ago I was taken with a severe attack of bronchitis, and neither rhj ulcians nor ordinary remedies gave me relief.

Mr. Hunt was sworn nnd his recol lection was that tho foreman in the heating department told him about tho water in the dint It was importnnt that the duct should be dry as tho presence of water i educed the space und lessened the volume of nlr.
