(Copyright, 1901, by IV. A. Willis.)
Tho deliberations of Juries after tho door
of tho Juryroom has been closed aro not
always of that calm nnd dignified character
cccrodltcd to them by popular opinion.
Only on tho rarest occasions docs anything
of what goes on In tho Juryroom become
a matter of actual public knowlcdgo, for
tho averago Juryman Is ss mum as an
oyster about tho cases which ho has been
called upon to decide, but thero aro occa
sional leakages from tho Juryroom calcu
lated to shako tho faith of tho most con
rervntlve, In tho Institution of tho "twclvo
good men and true."
On this order was a recent damago suit
In Indianapolis, whero tho Jury was callod
upon to docldo whether tho plaintiff was
entitled to damages for Injuries alleged to
bo duo to the negligence of tho city, n tel
ephono company and an asphalt corporation.
Apparently tho Jury was of average caliber.
Llko many other Juries of all calibers, they
couldn't ngreo. After they had been out
forty-eight hours tho status of opinion was
seven to ftvo in favor of tho plaintiff.
Fomo eight hours later ono of tho seven
changed his mind and tho Jury stood evenly
divided at six to six. Thoro was every
prospect of nn Indefinitely prolonged dead
lock, when ono of tho pro-plalntlff Jurors
had a brilliant Idea.
"We'll never do any business this way,"
ho said. "Lot's got a pack of cards and
play for It, the losers to accept the de
cision of tho winners."
As a sporting proposition this met with
Instant favor. As a scheme for adjusting
differences it was hailed Joyously. Seven-up
was sgreod upon as tho form of arbitration.
Tho Jurors seut out for cards and divided
tip Into threo sets of two pairs each, tho
fdde which should win two out of threo
matches to bo declared victor. Each sldo
had won a gamo nnd tho third quartet
were Just starting In when tho officer who
hnd been sent after the cards reported to
tho Judge. A bailiff broke up the gnmo and
tho Jury was discharged without reaching
an agreement.
.Hliakluir the Cube.
More definite of result, If common report
Is to bo bellved, was the arbitrament of
chance In a murder caso In Philadelphia
One Juror, who stood out for an acquittal
sgatnst cloven for conviction In a minor
degree, offered to throw dice for his voto
against any one of the eleven. The offer
was taken up and tho story runs that the
man won Ave Jurors, one after tho other, for
acquittal, lost three of them back; then,
after a great deal of sec-sawing, landed tho
entire eleven. Tho result was nn acquittal,
whero tho actual sentiment of the Jury was
eleven for decision of guilt and one for a
decision of Innocence. A somewhat similar
transaction In tho Juryroom Is told by a
lawyer of Chicago, who claims to havo evi
dence that bis client wu couvlcted after six

of tho Jury had played plnochlo against the
other .lx for their votes. One-half tho Jury
stood for murder In tho first degree, while
tho other six favored a verdict of murder
In tho second degree, which would havo
meant Imprisonment for llfo Instead of
hanging. Tho first degree crowd won tho
frocze-out nnd the man who was being tried
by this body was hanged.
Thnt was a clever scheme which n Brook
lyn Jury evolved last spring to avoid tho
unpleasant consequences of nn Inability to
agree. After being out for eight hours they
reported to tho court that there was no
uso of their deliberating further, as they
would never bo ablo to reach a common
ground. Tho court told them to go back and
dcllberato somo more. A night In the
Juryroom was In prospect. This wasn't to
tho tasto of the Jurors. Ono of their num
ber evolved a plan. They notified the court
that they would hand In a scaled verdict.
The "verdict" was duly handed In and the
Jurymen sent homo. When court convened
on tho following morning tho sealed en
volopo was opened and to tho indignation of
tho Judgo tho "verdict" wus found to bo a
statement that no agreement could bo
reached. Beautifully as tho plan had
worked It had unpleasant consequences, for
tho Judgo hauled tho Jurymen up and after
severely lecturing them Inflicted a consid
erable lino upon encb and every man.
A Kentucky Method,
In Kentucky they havo a method of set
tling differences of opinion which Is oc
casionally omployod In tho Juryroom. A
man named Kerr was on trial for fclonous
nssault und after tho Jury had been out for
threo hours sounds wcro heard from tho
Juryroom Indlcatlvo of something mora
strenuous than moral suasion. Shortly
after tho Jury filed In and tho foreman,
with a wild cyn gleaming from under a
purplish cushion of swollen flesh, essayed
to rendor tho verdict.
"Zhury f-f-f-Hze defen't Issutt," he sput-
tcred.
"The rourt falls to understand the- ver
dict," said tho Judgo with dignity.
"Issutt; zhury flzo'm issutt," Insisted tho
foreman.
Tho Judicial brow was growing black,
when u; Jumped No. 2.
"Please, you' honahl tho fo'man wants
to say that tho Jury finds tho defendant
lunocent, nn', beggln' yo' honah's pahdon,
he's doln' the best he kin, seeln' as how
he didn't reach that decision till he lost
fo' of his front teeth."
Whereupon the defendant was duly dis
charged. Probably the most riotous proceedings
that over took placo In a Juryroom wcro
tho result of the trial of an action grow
lug out of n feud In a small Iowa town
last full. Tho two families Interested had
fought each 'other with lists, clubs and
guns, each side declining to resort to any
thing but personal vengeance for alleged
grievances, until, to the eternal dlsgraco of
tho Poes, who started tho feud, ono of
their number had one of tho other sldo
arrested for an assault committed on him.
When the day of tho trial came every fight
ing man on either sldo was crowded In tho
courtroom, but the sheriff had exacted n
solemn pledge from every roan that he
would not draw a gun or a knife ns long
as he was In the placo and the sheriff knew
that they would keep tholr word. Reliev
ing that It would bo less trouble to acquit
the prisoner than to convict him tho clerk
of tho court so arranged matters that there
were eight friends of tho prisoner on the
Jury to four of tho Poea. The evidence was

put in and the Jury retired. It all hinged on
a question of veracity.
They Fit and Fit.
No sooner had the key to tho Juryroom
door been turned In the lock than one of
the prisoner's relatives made nn insulting
remark obout the Pocs for taking nn as
sault case Into court. Tho words wero
hardly out of his mouth boforo a Poo
Inndcd him on his back with a blow on
tho point of tho Jaw. It was tho signal
for a general mtxup and beforo the first
ballot on tho solemn question involved had
been taken the twclvo "good and truo
men" wore enjoying a battlo royal that
sports would havo paid thousands of dol
lars to see. The friends of tho prisoner
had tho advantago In numbers, but the
Pocs made this up by the Buddenness with
which they went Into action. They had
planned tho whole thing out beforehand
and tho eight were taken completely by
surprise. If four Poos could lick eight
of tho other sldo In a fair, square fight, it
would glvo tho family n prestige throughout
tho county that would do much to make
pcoplo forget that ono of them had taken
n private grudgo Into tho courts. And so
tho fight went on. Tho sheriff's ofilcer
on guard at the door of tho Juryroom
heard tho fighting nnd tho accompanying
oaths, and he called for help. Threo other
officers carao to his naslstnnco and he then
throw open tho door of tho Juryroom.
Tho four Pocs were all on tholr feet and
fighting hard. Three of the other sldo
had fallen and the walls and floor of tho
room wero spattered with their blood.
Tho court officers, who tried to pacify tho
Jury, were banged around unmercifully
and their calls for help brought nil the
Poes and all tho friends of tho prisoner
within hearing to tho Juryroom on n run.
A general mlxup of tho two families nnd
their allies followed that continued for n
week. Tho members of the Jury retired
to tho woods to cscapo tho wrath of tho
court over their disregard of the sacred
oath administered to them and didn't como
out again until tho court moved along on
tho circuit. Tho prisoner was balled and
tho case was allowed to die a natural death.
Tho courtroom had to bo completely re
furnished, for thoro wasn't a whole table,
chair or desk left in it.
One Heats Kleven.
How old I)nn Sullivan got a verdict,
alono and unaided, against soven hostile
Jurors, Is legal local history In tho city of
Troy. For many years thoro had been a
conflict In that region between the farmers
and the city folks nnd this feeling never
got so bitter as when clthor sldo was en
gaged In any litigation. You couldn't get a
country Jury to decide In favor of a city
man. no matter what the evidence might be,
and It was Just as certain that the plaintiff
In an action who happened to come from
tho country would lose If tho Jury was
mado up of city men, Tho Inovltablo result
of this condition of affairs was that when
ever a mixed Jury was drawn thero was
trouble from the moment tho key turned In
tho door of the Juryroom. Disagreements
always resulted and there was JubI that
much moro expenso to tho county for a
new trial of tho action. After a while eoroo
one who had something to do with the
drawing of men for tho Juries saw to It that
thero was no more mixing. Despite this
precaution, however, old Dan Sullivan,
, who was always having queer things hap
i pen to htm, managed to get drawn on a
Jury to try a suit for $5,000 brought ngalnst
tho county by a farmer. Tho other eleven
Jurymen were countrymen and friends of
the plilitlff. Old Dan didn't make tho

slightest pretenso of discontent over his
position; on tho contrary ho was delighted
and mado no secret of tho fact. Tho evi
dence was all put In and tho Jury retired
early In tho afternoon. Tho eleven
countrymen talked tho matter over nnd de
cided among themselves to glvo a verdict
for tho plaintiff, placing damages at $3,000.
They didn't think it was worth whllo to
consult Dan, but merely notified him of tho
decision they had como to and said thoy
would go through the formality of a ballot.
Dan calmly wrote out a decision for tho
county on his blank and when tho result
was mado known tho eleven countrymen
wero very much surprised. They gave Dan
n lino of stock arguments nnd warned him
that they would keep him out all night If
ho didn't yield. They took another ballot,
but tho result was the same. Old Dan
puffed away at his cigar and smiled. Ho
smiled his way through n dozen more bal
lots and an array of threats that might
havo haunted a less obstlnato man. At 6
p. ra. tho condition of affairs was made
known to the court, who ordered tho Jury
to stay out until It reached a verdict. Thcu
tho court went homo nnd the Jurors set
about laboring with Dan. They told him
that ho was nn old man and that the
strain of a night In a Juryroom might
result in making him n sufferer for the
rest of his llfo. Each and evory ono of
tho cloven countrymen declared dramat
ically that ho would never recede from tho
position ho had taken nnd In other ways It
was mado clear to Dan that he would have
to yield.
After an hour or so of this kind of talk
another ballot was taken. This tlmo Dan
took another position. Ho found for tho
plaintiff and fixed damages at 6 cents. Tho
enraged eleven Informed Dan that tbey
wouldn't tako another ballot until ho asked
for it and tho eleven disposed themselves
comfortably around tho room, satisfied that
beforo very long old age would tell and
Don would glvo In. At midnight tho eleven
began to get a little less determined. Two
laid down on a bench, but they wcro too
norvous to sleep In such quarters, so they
sat up and sworo nt Dan.
"Whenever yo como around to ray way
of.thlnkln' Jest let me know," romarked
Dan as the cloclc struck 2. At 3 o'clock
all eleven were lying down and trying to
sloop, but Dan even scorned his chair. At
4 o'clock two or three began to weaken and
a few minutes after D o'clock eleven hollow-eyed
countrymen, very much subdued,
camo over to whero Dan was standing and
agreed If ho would find again for the plain
tiff they would fix tho damages at 6 cents.
Dan smilingly accepted tho proposition and
the vote was taken. As tho foreman an
nounced tho result the sun poked Its head
over tho sky lino and Dan, with a pro
digious yawn, sank down on a bench nnd
beforo tho court officer could open tho door
to let tho Jury out was fast asleep and
snoring huge, satisfactory snores. After
ward the defeated Jurymen learned that for
ten years their fellow Juror had been n
sufferer from Insomnia, which rendered It
utterly Impossible for him to closo his eyes
In sloep from tho time that the sun went
down In tho evening until It came up again
In the morning. At sunrise .overy morning,
though, Dan falls asleep and nothing In tho
world will wako him up. So it tvas by a
narrow margin that he won his case for tho
county. W. A. WILLIS.
