UNABLU TO AUHl'.E.
V WASHINGTON , September 11. At
2:03 : the jury reported ttmt they were
unable t ) agree. The court stated
that it had conio to the conclusion to
accept a partial verdict. The jury
then rendered a verdict of acquittal ua
to Turner and Peck , and guilty as to
Miner aud Rordoll. As to thn others
they were unable to agree.
On objection of Merrick that Peck
had not been arraigned and consequently
quently could not bo included in the
verdict , the foreman repeated the re
port as In the others , but left out the
name of Peck. The jury were then
discharged , undHenkloand ) Williams
' for Miner , and Herdoll respectively
gave notice of a motion to arrest
judgment and for a now trial.
A U\ELY SI'AT.
In the course of the argument upon
the motion for renewal of bonds in
the caeca of the defendants , -wherein
iho jury failed to agree , Morrick said ,
"My motion is to double the amount ,
nnd to require now recognizance. "
Ingtrsoll : ' 'It seeing thia motion ia
made simply for the purpose of annoy
ance. The bond now given is certainly i71
good , legally npimking , Ths only rea
son for additional bond ia that the
jury has failed to convict the defen
dants nnd the prosecution pretend
that there ia good evidence that they
are guilty. "
Merrick : "Tho statement that th 0
motion is made for annoyance is
gratuitous. "
Ingersoll : "I don't know that. "
Merrick : I do know it. "
Ingersoll ; "I don't care what you
know. "
Jijorrick said ho had more rospec
for I no motive whirl ! prompted1 th *
> motion than he had for lugeraoll'
opinion.
' 'I don't want your respect , " exclaimed /
claimed Ingeraoll.
"And I , " retorted Merrick , "don1
want yours. "
"I don't want yours , " continue
Ingersoll , "and I should fool humblei > d
to have it. "
"Peace , gentlemen , peace , " romon
atrated the court. The court the !
said ho waa of opinion that the recog
nizancea already entered into so fa
aa parties agaitibt whom there waa n
verdict rendered are concerned , are
sufficient and valid recognizances ; us
to the two parties | found guilty , Ror
doll aud Miner , I am of opinion there
is an end to their recognizances.
Rouble : "Will the court accept a.
now bond for them pending hearing
of the motion for now trial f'
The couit utated he would hear
Ilenklo on that subject Wednesday
and he would on the same d y hear
arguments upon Merrick'a motion tore
require now bond.
Foreman Diclcson said ho was re
quested to return the thutiku and grat
itude of the jury to the court for the
kind consideration with which they
had been treated. They are all grate
ful for their courteous treatment on
all aides. Many of them , though per
forming compulsory duty since early
in March , with an army of witnesses I
before them and almost talked tom
death , would leave the court room
with pleasant recollections of an un
pleasant duty.
The Court : "Tho court parts with
all of you with sentiments of entire
friendliness. I had hoped wo should
have boon able to decide thia case , but
you have not reached any conclusion.
I can regard it ns no conclusion of HI..ho
case at all , but 1 do not deairo to cast
imputation upon the motives of any
ono. You have not seen the law , prob
ably , a the court has soon it , but you '
have exercised your powoi
under the law of deciding
filially on a matter submitted
you. You have decided facia no
doubt , conscientiously , and it ia nol
for the court to express any disaatiS'
faction , and I take pleasure in aayiuii i
to all members of thia jury that will
entire feelings of roapect the courl
begs to express ita gratitude for the
patient and exemplary conduct whicl
they have exhibited on this trial frou
beginning to close. Parting with yoi
therefore on these term * of frioudlinesi
cBfl respect , I have no auspicious nor
does the court entertain any doubt tin
regard 10 this verdict , aa roprescntin
the conscientious conviction of tin
jury. It is not such a verdict aa ,
aUould have been glad to see but it i
your verdict ; it it your work , you an
are responsible font , the court ianot.
Foreman DicVsoir "Aa to anothe
subject. At the close of the proceed
ings laat Thursday your honor mad
BO me severe strictures upon attempt
made to bribe certain members of the
jury. I stated then that upon thu dm-
position of thia case I would procii
such facia a * I have to present. iVill
I present them to your honor in
sworn statement ] ' *
The Court : "No , no , sir ; not ; s
11. Your experience may have bee
different from that of other members
of the jury. No doubt it is a matter
which will probably bo investigated in
another way. It docs not belong to
your verdict. "
Forman Dlckson : "No relation
whatever. "
The court : "No ; if it bo true , as
has boon reported to mo by several
members of the jury , that rtlorts to
bribe have been made , I think no
moro abominable , no muro conniirablo
depth of critna van bo named. I think
this is not thu place Tor thu court or
jury to talk on the subject. It ia
a matter which ouight to bu in the
hands of ofliccrs of the la < r , and
if any scoundrel be convicted of
Ruch attempt , I don't know whether
the jury would convict him or not.
Wo shall endeavor to do our duty as a
court. G lod-byo , gentlemen. "
Inpppsull : "Wo have no objection
to the jury slating who approached
On in. "
Merrick : "Nor have wo , and the
uovormnont will manage the whole
nutter. "
Wilson : "And the counsel for the
defence will Imvon hand in the exam
ination. The government v > 'M not

Morrick : "Pardon mo , sir , but the
government will and put it where it
belong- . "
The Court : ( amiling ) "I noror was
up happy in my lifn. lloro ore both
aides anxious to expose crime , and wo
shall certainly have a conviction next
time. "
Court then adjourned until Wi dues-
day

ATTKMITS AT BUIUERY ,
but would give no formal Matotrion
for publication. Ho aaid he wouli
- to-morrow lay before the district ata
tonwy or hie assistant euch facts a
were within hia knowledge. On the
a 23d of August he had been approaches
with an ottur of $25,000 by an office
at connected with the department of jui
tico , who produced letters of appoint
tnt nt as special ngon * of that depart
ment , and stated ho was authorized to
act in the matter , if he would votn for
the conviction of Urftdy ami Stephen
W. Doney. That statement would bt
corroborated by witnesses and by cir-
cumetantial evidence. When ho made
hia offer In court to-day to make a
aworn statement ho had intended to
take the stand , but on reflection ho
WHS sure that the course pursued by
the court was the bettor one , as ho
would bo placed in a fill so position.
There were others of the jury who
had bcun
AlTHO.VCIir.I ) KUOM UU'FKKBVr DIHEC-
TIONS ,
but it scams the ollors were small ,
from S200 to § 300. The man who
apprccchod him told him ho repre
sented the nttunu'y gunoral , but ho
( Dicksou ) did not believe that , llo
concluded thu man took him for a
fool or knavu and that Ufa only protec
tion was to notify Judge Wyho of the
matter. Ho suggested to Judge
Wylio ho should ooax the man on , but
the judge remarked that was too much
like police duty and advised him to do
nothing but ki'op clear of the man.
The following day the man cent in : i
card asking an interview and appoint
ing a time and place. II o made no
reply and had not seen the man or
hia companion ( who was alsoau otlicer
of the department of justice ) from that
day to this. He made inquiry a few
days later and learned that the man
had loft the city upon the following
day. lie did not believe ho hnd $25
in his possession , much less $25,000 ,
and it was his opinion the man had
boon employed to got the unwary to
commit themselves , llo would not
allow this matter to drop , but would
aeo the thing through.
Passing ou then to n brief state
ment of
ofTHE
THE OPINION OF THE JU11Y
in regard to defendants , ho said thorp
was nothing against Brady until
Walsh's evtdonco was admitted and
very few of the jurorsbelioved Walsh'a
toatfmony. As one of the grounds
for < his own incredulity ho cited the
fact that shortly before NValsh appear
ed on the stand a remission , to the
amount of § 25,000 had baen made on
his route from Prescott to Santa Fo.
Walsh had got moro in the way of ro-
minion on his own route than the
defendant contractors had obtained on
their nineteen routes. The prosecu
tion t had triad to got the case against
Brady j supported by Walsh's teati-
mony extracted fie i him by Wood
ward after those remissions had been
made by the present administration.
That was his hcncHt conviction. In
regard to Stephen W. Dorsey , there
waf in hia opinion
NO DIIIEGT CIUStlNAL ACT
was shown. The caao against him was
made up of circumstantial ovidonce.
llo bohovtid conspiracy existed aa far
as the contractors " -wore concerned ,
aud that Ilurdell , whilu nominally act
ing as Stephen Dorsey'd clerk , waa ac
tually working in the interests of
Minor , Pock & Co. During their dis
cussion willingness was developed on
" ! tha pnrt of the jutTjrn to eichanea
v notes on whom they individually re
garded aa innocent. Dickson said
ho had promptly checked thia , saying
that no man's liberty should bo jeopardized
ardized to help another. Dickaon gave
an amusing desciiption of
SCENES IN THE JUUY ItOOM.
Songs were composed and sung by
the jury , and ludicrous sketches made
by one of thn jurora.
Judge J. . Wilson , of counsel for
Brady end Turner , in an interview
to-day , expressed no vurpriao at the
verdict so far as his clients wore con-
corned. lie tMnka the jury would
not have been out an hour before re
turning with a verdict of acquittal
had it not been for the violence of the
charge.
Respecting the alleged bribery o :
the jury , Wiljon soys
NOTHfNO OF THE KIND
was attempted by any of the defend
ants and tluC if Tiny bribery was nt
tempted it came from government
spotters , win have endeavored to as
certain if uiy mombera of the jury
were approdchod ,
Uonklo'pf counsel for Minor , ono
of the coniicted men , said the verdict
was a most extraordinary one. It ia
beyond Us conception how the jury
could fiiu hia client and Rordel guilty
and at tjo same time disagree aa to
Brady'atnilt. ; This result is entirely
unaccoiiitab'.o , Ilonklo Bay * , in view
of the tlct that the court ttovoral time

John B McCarty , ono of the jurors ,
Bail that himeolf , and in fact many of
thj jurora were not by any moans sat-
leted with the verdict. Ho and eight

, in the ballots from first to laat. Those
'urors who favored a conviction of all
the defendants , excepting Turner ,
weao convinced of their guilt and
would not change their votes , bocauee
they had considered the caao veil before
, fore arriving at this conclusion , and
thoBo who voted ior acquittal used the
most subtle arguments in support ol
their dccUiona and would not yield.
Speaking of the verdict , Merricl

In the Now England states there

York nnd Now Jersey , and 4 in Penn
sylvania is indicated. The loss in al
those states ia duo to drought , whicl
has boon especially severe in Now
England. There has boon abundant
rain in all the other states.
In the corn growing states of the
