STRIKE - JURY-
REFUSE FOR FOUR DAYS TO SIGN
VERDICT DICTATED BY ST.
LOUIS JUDGE.
WIVES ENCOURAuE- STAND
Bring In Finding In Will Contest
Case Directly Opposite to That
Ordered by the Court and Sticks to
It Till Judge Gives In.
St Louis, Dec. 16. The Jury In the
famous McDermott will case triumph
ed over Circuit Judge James E. With
row, when on the fourth day of their
refusal to sign a verdict dictated by
him they returned a verdict directly
contrary to It. The Judge decided
that it was his duty under the Appel
late Court's 'decisions to accept the
verdict and did so, intimating that he
would later exercise his right to set
It aside.
The verdict returned by the Jury
was in favor of Mrs. Mary Karrington
and against the Rev. Father John
White, rector of Holy Innocents'
Church. Mrs. Farringtc.n sued as exec
utor of the etate of her mother, Mrs.
Bridget McDermott., to set aside the
will. The p'alntlfT's allegation wap
that undue Influence caused Mrs. Mc
Permott to leave the property In such
a way that It later came into the
Rev. Father White's possession and
cut off Mrs. Farrington with $1.
The "insurgent" jurors "dellberat
d" exactly sixty-eight hours. When
hpy flrM refused to return the verdict
which Ji'dge Wit brow ordered they
nnrunced they would ftnd on tholr
rights as American citizens.
Wives of the Jurors entered Into
the discussion of the case. One. Mrs.
P. P. Smith, announced she would sue
fnr divorce if her husband paid a
fine which she understood Judge
Withrow would assess if the jurors
failed to find a verdict as he directed.
BRITAIN BARS O'JR BEEF
War Office Withdraws Custom While
Packers Are on
Trial.
London, Dec. 16. The British Gov
ernment has decided to exclude al.
the American meat packers asaiiibt
whom prosecutions have been institu
ted In the United States from tender
ing for contracts for the supply of
meat to the British Army, pending
tihe settlement of the suits.
The notification is in the following
terms:
"Pending the ultimate results of the
legal proceedings in the United States
against certain meat packing firms, it
has been decided by the British Gov
ernment that none of the firms Invol
ved shall be Invited to tender for
army supplies."
Tho decision of the Government is
due to the opposition of Labor and
advanced Radical members of Parlia
ment to the American trusts.
Chicago, Dec. 16. News of the act
ion of the British Government provok
ed only meager comment from the
Chicago packing firms whose business
is hit by the exclusion of American
products.
Armours' counsel says the action
cuts off their largest out let far can

no demand in this country to equalize
It.
PRAISES SHERMAN LAW
Wickersham Says Interest in Enforce
ment is Greater Than
Ever.
Washington. Dec. 16. Attorney-General
Wickershani defends the Sherman
anti-trust law In his annual report.
"There is no doubt," says the attorney-general,
"that public interest in
the enforcement of this law is even
greater than it was at the date of in)
last annual report. The decisions fav
orable to the government in the prose
cutions against the Standard Oil Co.
and the Tobacco combination have ful
ly demonstrated the effectiveness of
the law to accomplish the purposes
for which it was enacted."
Mr. Wickersham supports the plan
recommended In President Taft's re
cent message on the trust question. In
which he suggested that the powers
and duties of the bureau of corpora
tions of the Department of Commerce
and Labor be enlarged.

It would be possible to land troops on

According to General Murray, the

SLAYS -A-FAMILY
FARMHAND ACCUSED OF MURDER
OF MOTHER AND THREE CHIL
DREN NEAR ALBANY.
30DIES WERE IN REFUSE PIT
Diabolical Note Found "Italian Meat
and American Made Sausage Im
ported from Rome, Italy" Italian
Farm Hand Gone, -
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 15. The bodies
of four members of the Morner family
of De Freesville, Rensselaer county,
five miles from Albany, were found
under the barn floor at the Morner
farm. The man suspected of murder
ing them is Edward Doualo, their
Italian farm hi nd.
He is described as of very dark
complexion, 5 feet 6 Inches tall, and
weighing about 120 pounds. He went
to the Morner farm In August last
from an employment agency in Al
bany. Those murdered were Mrs. Conrad
Morner, 52 years old, the mother;
Edith and Blanch Morner, 18 and 16
years eld, her daughters, and Arthur
Morner, 28 ypars of age, her son.
Their bodies were hacked with a hat
chet and battered with a bale stick.
They were killed in tha barn, it Is
presumed, and probably the only wit
ness besides the murderer to the
struggles of the three women and Ar
thur Morner was a dull eyed bull
chained In a corner of the barn. Six
horses were in the building, but they
were in the part used as a stable.
The Morners were prosperous dairy
farmers and fifty of their cows return
ed from the pasture to the barnyard
on the night of the murder and bellow
ed their discomfort at not receiving
food or drink. Inside the barn neither
the bull nor the horses had been
cared for, but more than twenty hours
passed before the murders were dis
covered. A State dairy inspector
visited the farm, but finding no one in
the house he concluded that the fam
ily was away for the day. He return
ed to the farm and found no cne, yet
there was nothing to Indicate that
anything was wrong.
The Morners Buppliei milk each
evening to Hcratio Mould, a milk deal
er cf Rensselaer City. When he did
not bring the milk Mould drove out
to the Morner farm and begun an
Investigation. He got several farmers
of the neighborhood and likewise
Jesse Morner, another son of Mrs.
Morner, who lives with his wife and
family on a farm about two miles
away.
With lanterns the party began a
search. The house was found In per
fect order, the women of the house
hold having completed their house
work before they were killed. Next
the barn was searched and a blood
stain en a milk can was the first clue.
Boarde were ripped from the floor
covering the Etable refuse and in the
refuse the bodies of the mother and
two daughters were found.
A note was found on the piano In
the bitting room of the farmhouse. It
was written in English and read:
"Dalian meat and Anierlcan-mnde
sausage Imported from Rome, Italy."

a few days ago a case was submitted
to the Judges wherein Lycoming and
Northumberland eountles were
brought up as chargeable for the cost
of $4.25 per week for each criminal In
sane inmate of a state ' institution.
The auditor general at first considered
that they should be made to pay $1.75
or the county share of the per capita
for each Indigent Insane person, but
this, too, waB resisted and now the
question revolves Itself down to
whether the counties are liable for
all or none.

mean thousands of dollars to the
commonwealth. The case cme up
through refusal of the counties to pay
for criminal insane In the Danville
state hospital. The attorney general's
department presented the case Id con
Junction with the state hospital.
