KENNY MURDER JURY
NOT OP ONE MIND
AT TWO O'CLOCK THIS MORNING
THEY WERE STILL DIVIDED.
Went to Bed nt Ten O'clock nnd
Their Room Wna Not Relighted
AgainWent Out nt Hnlf Past
Two Yo9terdny Afternoon Judge
Love's Charge Was Very Envoi -nble
to the Defendant Other Cases
That Were Dealt with in Quarter
Sessions Couit.
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.

A. Zlmmeiman and George W. Bealo
lepresented the Uelendnnts. nnd Hon
II. A. Knnpp the prosecutor. 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.
In despair of finding anything to cure mo, I

ter to his foreman and knew no more
about it until this week. lie was
asked If ho got a letter from Mr. Hunt
against tapping the pipe to drain the
duct and said no. His explanation of
how the duct contained water wns
that It bubbled fiom a spring in the
rock into which the duct was cut.
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. Stag-
I nant water in the duet with nlr sweep
