DAY JURY REACHES NO DECISION SO FAR

(Continued from first page)

weighed before he could figure it with a pencil. He also kept some of Dan's money and Dan always kept the account straight in his head. Dr. E. C. English had waited on Dan for colds and the like but had never examined his body. He considered his deformity due to infantile paralysis, and did not think it general that that disease affected the mind. Several questions were asked tending to bring out the exact nervous defect, the state aiming to show that he was sane and the defense aiming to prove that he was of unsound mind when the murder was committed. Dr. English said he did not know that he had been called upon as an expert witness, and that he had never treated a case of infantile paralysis and had in recent years made no special study of the disease, but he did not regard it as affecting the brain.

John Critser was called by the state and related a conversation held several months ago, the one Dan could not remember. He said Dan had told him that some girl was getting his money and he was going to put astop to it and he had showed his revolver, rather indicating that he was going to use that means, but he did not say who the girl was. Mayor Ellis and E. M. Thomas regarded Dan sane. The evidence was then all in and Prosecutor Graves made the opening argument for the state. He was followed by Attorney Willlmas for the defense and Moses Leopold closed for the state. He finished his statement at 1:23, and Judge Hanley took just 32 minutes in giving his instructions to the jury.

The jury went out at just 5 minutes before 3 o’clock, carrying with them six different kinds of verdicts, two for conviction of first degree murder, one for second degree murder, one for manslaughter and one for acquittal on the grounds of insanity, and one for not guilty.

The Day jury which retired at 2:55 o’clock Wednesday afternoon were out all night and at 3 o’clock today (Thursday) had arrived at no decision, and it looked very much as tho a disagreement might be the outcome.

At about 9 o’clock Wednesday evening Judge Hanley called the attorneys together and suggested that the jury be returned for more explicit instructions, but the jury at that time felt that they were going to arrive at a decision and they did not wish further instructions. So the attorneys left and Attorney Williams for the defendant made a professional trip to Hammond, and when the jury later wanted further advice they could not have it because the attorneys were not there. Attorney Williams returned at 2:01 o’clock, and at 3 o’clock the jury and the counsel wree called into the east court room and further Instructions given. There is nothing to substanfciatei the report of how the jury stood, but it is thought that in view of the clear instructions given by Judge Hanley they must arrive at a verdict of guilty and that it is apt to be in the second degree.

The Irishman and the Woman.

An Irishman was sitting in the depot smoking the other day when a woman came in and sitting down remarked: “Sir if you were a gentleman you wouldn't smoke here.” “Mum,” he said, "If yez wuz a leddy ye'd sit further away.” Pretty soon the woman burst out: "If you were my husband I’d give you poison. 7 "Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, “If yez wuz me woife I’d take It."

Rosenbaum Case Tried Wednesday.

The case of the* state against Aug--, ust Rosenbaum, alleged to be guilty of having liquor in his possession for the purpose of selling it, and which grew out of the raid of the officers about two weeks ago when two sugar barrels filled with bottled beer, one case of beer and 21 quart bottles of whiskey were confiscated, was tried in hte circuit court Wedensday afternoon, as soon as a jury could be procured after the Dan Day trial was completed. The prosecuting witness was Mrs. Emma Hiatt,, and her husband, Daniel W. Hiatt, also testified for the state. They worked for a short time for Mr. and Mrs. Rosenbaum at the Hotel Rosey, and wound up their short stay as cooks and dishwashe.s at that hostelry by getting on a combination drunk. On evidence procured from her after her husband had been sent to jail, a search warrant was issued and the officers found the liquors above enumerated and It looked like a bad case of illicit selling had been found, but the state could get no evidence of others than the Hiatts having bought any liquor there, and Rosey and his wife both emphatically denied that they had either one ever sold any liquor, and while they knew about the Hiatts getting drunk they claimed that they had not sold them the liquor. The officers produced a bottle half full which they had taken away from Hiatt when he was drunk and it was the same brand as that which Rosey had, but his claim was that the Hiatts had purloined the booze while he and his wife were down the river fishing. Samples of the liquor were proproduced in the court room. Mr. and Mrs. Rosenbaum said that they always used beer as a beverage for their family, and that the whiskey was kept for the purpose of giving Mr. Rosenbaum whiskey rub downs, a treatment prescribed for increasing the blood circulation since he suffered a stroke of paralysis. The testimony was all in before supper Wednesday, and the arguments of the attorneys took place after supper and the jury adjourned at about 9 o'clock and was still out at three’ o’clock Thursday afternoon.
