WHEN NAN HEARD
JURY’S ANNOUNCEMENT.
Continued from First page.
• ires, walked with a firm, strong step
the chair beside her father. As she
-it down she placed one arm across
her father’s shoulder. With the other
she raised her veil and kissed the old
; ian in a very pretty, affectionate way.
. if the two, the father showed in a
:■ greater degree the strain under
.hich they had been for many hours,
~nd for a time the girl turned com
forter. There was scarcely a moment's
belay when the usual question was put
in the jury. The foreman replied that
1.0 decision had been reached.
.Indue hi o t Satisfied.
Justice Davis said that under al
r;., .it any other circumstances he
would discharge the Jury at that point
. tliout further delay, but this case
I:, considered one of great importance.
Much time had been consumed in the
vial and he felt that it was only fair
t„ the defendant and to the state that
every effort should be made by this
i-ivy to reach an agreement of some
Kind. Ho would not under any clr
.instances even suggest that any
< eof the men holding an opinion
hich he believed to be just should
change-that opinion, but at the same
tune he believed it would be advisable
t a the Jurors to return to their room
cl, if necessary, to review the evi
dence of the case and to discuss or
attempt to decide points upon which
their contention was based. In reply
the foreman said:
Foreman Thought Otherwise.
•'Your honor, we have conferred in
this matter through long hours with
out being able to approach any coinci
dence of opinion. We have discussed
it from every possible standpoint and
do not require any instructions regard
ing the evidence.. There are some of
cur number who seein absolutely un
amenable to argument or persuasion.
It seems that there is little possibility
cf our reaching a verdict.’
Justice B'avis’ reply was: “I am glad
you understand the situation, but I am
afraid I will have to ask you to retire
for a while longer.”
When Nan Patterson raised her veil
her face was flushed and as she waited
for the fin'al word of the jury the color
came and went rapidly. Every mo
ment her eyes were fixed intently
upon the jurors, but her gaze was not
returned. A deadly pallor spread over
her face when she bent towards her
father. This evidence of weakness was
apparent for only a moment, however,
bud from that time until a court officer
touched her on the shoulder, she sat
bolt upright, her lips firmly compressed
and gazing straight Into the faces of
tlie twelve men in the jury box. Then
she arose and with a firm step return
ed to the little pen above the court
room to await the result of the jury's
further consideration.
Wns Ont Twenty-four Hours.
It was twenty-four hours almost to
a minute after the jury was sent out
yesterday that word was sent to Jus
tice Duvis that it was ready to make
its final report. The attorneys were
hurriedly and Nan Patter
son’s father, who hid been strolling
around the corridors, was notified that
the jury was about to return. He had
scarcely taken his seat when the jurors
filed slowly down the aisle and took
their places in the Jury box. From
the expression of their faces it was ap
parent that their determination had
not been altered in the brief hour thqt
had elapsed since their foreman in
formed the court that an agreement
was practically impossible
A moment later Nan walked rapidly
down the aisle and quickly sank into
her seat at her father’s side. In her
face there was little to Indicate that
any hope of acquittal remained with
her. Her clenched hands rested firmly
upon the table and her piercing gaze
was fixed upon the foreman as the cus
tomary questions were asked by the
clerk.
When the reply was given that no
decision had been reached and that
there was absolutely no hope of a ver
dict being agreed upon the defendant
for the first time during her long sus
pense gave way completely to her feel
ings. She threw her arms around her
father's neck and, burying her head on
his shoulder, sobbed like a child. Gent
ly the old man returned the embrace,
and with, "Don’t worry, little girl. It
will come out all right yet,” he urged
her to cheer up. A moment later she
had gained her composure and with
flushed face and downcast eyes await
ed the final word of the court.
Hal Hone All Possible.
Addressing the Jury, Justice Davis
said:
You have done all that was expect
ed of you In the cqse. You have been
together all night and given it your
careful and conscientious consideration,
and now I understand there Is no pos
sibility of reaching a decision."
There Is no possibility of our reach
ing a verdict.” replied the foreman.
"Then I am compelled to excuse you
from further attendance,” replied the
Justice.
After thanking them for the services
they had rendered he informed them
that they were at liberty to go. The
court remanded the prisoner for the
time being, and she was led back once
more across the bridge of sighs to the
cell in the Tombs prison.
*lx for iiiml Six Against Her.
Justice Davis, after his consultation
with the foreman of the Jury, ttald: ”1
have been informed that the Jury stood
six for acquittal and six for convic
tion. As to how the six for conviction
stood, as regard the degrees of crime.
1 was not informed, nor can I con
scientiously seek Information on the
subject.”
Foreman Harmer said: ”1 would like
to give you more Information, but prior
to our coming into court this morning
"e adopted a resolution not to make
Public what transpired in the Jury
ro ™p during the long deliberation.”
Ijow many ballots were there?”
only took one ballot; but then,
you know, we didnt proceed In that
We found there was such a vast
difference of opinion among us that we

daughter is not directly under the
shadow of conviction.
A brother of the actress said to-day
that the outcome was not what had
been expected. He expressed his be
lief in her innocence.
LEVY SAYS THAT NAN
IS WITHOUT FUNDS.
New York. Dec. 23.—Abraham Levy
to-night issued a statement in which
he said he expected acquittal and was
disappointed at the outcome, but did
not expect a verdict of guilty would
ever be reached. Whether there would
be a third trial, he said, rested with
the district attorney.
Mr. Levy continued: “The defend
ant is wholly without means. When
counsel assumed the defense of her
case, it was with the understanding
and in the expectation that the de
fendant would be sufficiently equipped
with means, if not to properly com
pensate them, at least to meet the
disbursements and actual expenses
which were bound to arise. This she
has never been able to do; so that,
during the progress of the trial, we
did not even have the stenographers'
minutes of the testimony, but were
obliged to depend upon our own notes
as to proofs given through a trial
spreading over three weeks.
"Probably the most important wit
ness for the defense should have
been Miss Blake, the telephone opera
tor at the St. Paul hotel, who receiv
ed the various messages which the
deceased sent on that morning. But
we were entirely without means to se
cure her attendance at the trial, and
only discovered her whereabouts in
St. Louis while the trial was in prog
ress.”
TAMPERED WITH BOXES.
Another Charge Made About the
Denver Election.
Denver, Col., Dec. 23.—1n defending
Clarence P. Dickson, an election clerk
charged with contempt in having per
mitted illegal voting at the November
election in violation of the Supreme
Court injunction. Attorney Philip
Hornbein declared in open court to
day that the ballot box must have been
tampered with since the election. The
experts’ report had shown that there
were eighty-one ballots In the box,
which were folded in such a manner
as to show that they were not de
posited singly In the usual manner
through the opening in the box.
Attorney Hornbein asked the court
to order an investigation of the men
who have been acting as guardians
of the ballot boxes at the Court House
and at the state house when they were
opened tor investigation. He Intimated
that the watchers had been bribed and
had permitted the extraction of good
ballots and the insertion of fraudu
lent ballots. No action was takefl by
the court on the attorney’s charge.

Testimony That Was Given the Wit
nesses.
Winchester, Ky., Dec. 23. —Senator
Hargis was recalled briefly in the
Marcum-Hargis damage suit to-day
and then Dan Callahan, sheriff of
Breathitt county, was placed on the
stand.
Callahan denied saying that he would
like to see “Marcum’s light shot out.”
He said he knew nothing of any con
spiracy to kill Marcum.
James Hargis. county Judge of
Breathitt and member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee from
the Tenth congressional district, de
nied that he had conspired with any
one to procure the death of Marcum.
He had known Marcum since boy
hood and had been friendly with him
until the year before his death. He
said he was not friendly with Marcum
at the time of his death, as Marcum
had been indicted for libeling the wit
ness.
The witness said he sent for B. J.
Ewen and asked that If Ewen knew
who killed Marcum to tell, so that a
warrant could be issued. Ewen said
he did not know who fired the shot.
The witness had thereupon ordered
the Court House searched and Sheriff
Callahan had It done.

HEALTH
is the
Most Important
In buying food-articles, you must con
sider several things: Economy, Results,
Easy Handling, Reliability; but the most
important is Health.
Health means everything. In clothes,
furniture, etc., if the buyer gets a poor of
imitation article, the only harm is loss of
money. In buying food-articles, if imi
tations are supplied, there is a loss of
money, and probably an injury to health
—which is beyond price
Remember these facts when buying
baking powder.

Cincinnati, Dec. 23.—Three men
were bitten and several thousand
shoppers were thrown into a wild
panic to-day when a recently cap
tured bear, brought here for sale,
broke away from its captors and ran
amuck in the heart of the shopping
district. Men and women scattered in
every direction.
The animal finally sought refuge in
Chief Croker of the New York Fire Department in His Motor Car
an alley ’after a run of nearly five
blocks. Here the bear was caught by
a colored wrestler, who threw a bag
over Its head, and several men quick
ly overpowered the animal.

HORSESHOE LUCK.
SnperstHlnnn t'onccriiinu the Cres
cents of Iron Are All lint I nlversnl.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The origin of belief in “horseshoe
luck” is so ancient that its origin never
has been determined with certainty,
and no superstition is more universal.
Ever since horses began to wear shoes
these crescents of Iron have been ac
counted lucky emblems of all peo
ples, races and nations that have been
acquainted with their use.
The Chinese, for Instance say they
nail them up over their doors as a
charm against evil spirits, because of
the close resemblance in shape be
tween them an the arched body of the
sacred snake. Nagandra. one of their
principal deities.
Ask a Turkish Mohammedan for in
formation on the subject and he will
tell you that It is because they are
In form like a crescent, the sacred em
blem of Islam.
A Polish Jew will explain that at
the Passover the blood sprinkled upon
the lintel and doorposts, in the man
ner directed by their ritual, forms
the chief points of an arch; hence,
obviously, the value of arch-shaped
talismans such as horseshoes are.
The stolid and unimaginative Rus
sian on the other hand, main
tains that the luck associated with
the horseshoe Is chiefly due to the
metal, irrespective of Its share, iron
being traditionally a charm wherewith
to nullify .the malevolent designs of
evil spirits and goblins.
Very different is the story by which
the Irishman seeks to account for his
liking the same tallsmanlc symbol.
The name "Ironclad” or “Ireland,” he
will tell you, originated as follows:
The whole island was once submerg
ed in the sea, out of which it rose on
ly once in seven years, and then only
for a shore time. Many attempts had
been made to break the spell and In
duce tlie country to remain perma
nently above the waters, but all were
vain until one day a daring adven
turer threw a horseshoe from a boat
on the topmost peak of Wicklow moun
tains, just as they were disappearing
beneath the waves. Then, at last, was
the ban removed. The Emerald Isle
began forthwith to rise again from the
ocean depths. Into which It had sunk.
And It has been dry lund—more or less
—ever since.
In England. up to comparatively re
cent times horseshoes were extensive
ly used almost everywhere as anti
witch charms, and the custom is not
even yet an extinct one. No witch.
It used to be said, could enter a build
ing over the door of which a horse
shoe —or, better still, three horseshoes
—hacj been attlxed. prongs downward.
The origin of this particular belief
Is referable to the old legend of rtt.
Dunxtan. This versatile English ec
clesiastic was u skilled farrier, and
one day while at work In his forge
the evil one entered In disguise and
requested Dunstan to shoe his "sin
gle hoof." The saint, although he
at once recognised his malign cus
tomer. acceded, but caused him so
much pain during the operation that
Katan begged him to desist. This Dun
stan did, hut only after he had made
the evil one promise that neither he
nor any of the lesser spirits, his
servants, would ever molest the in
mates of a house where a horseshoe
was displayed.

JTrota sartlaat islsstf a Japanese
girl is taught to be obedient to her
parents, and when she is about to be
married her mother gives her thirteen
rules by which to steer her bark on
the rugged sea of Japanese married
life. Among them are the following:
“Be always kind to your mother-in
law and slsters-ln-law." "Get up early,
stay up late at night and do not take
a nap in the daytime.” "Bea good
housekeeper, be economical in every
thing.” It is well for the happiness
of the girl who is about to become a
farmer’s wife that the last two com
mandments have been so Instilled that
she Is prepared to regulate her life by
“them.
The first to rise, she is sure to be
the last to retire, and when the male
members of the family may be seen
stretched on the floor, taking their
siesta, the patient housewife may be
seen mending some garment or else
laboring in the field. It is scarcely
necessary, however, to train her to be
economical, for that Is compulsory.
Before the farmer has awakened
from Ills heavy sleep his little wife
creeps from under the mosquito net,
and, performing a hasty toilet, pre
pares the morning meal. When the
other members of the family arise, the
l*eds. which are heavy quilts placed on
the floor, are carefully rolled up by the
busy housewife and placed In the clos
et. there to remain until again re
quired.
As there is so little furniture ttsed
In a Japanese house, and especially in
that of a peasant, one would naturally
think that the domestic duties would
be very light. Such, however, is not
the case.
When the bedding has been removed,
the meal is served in the same room.
All the members of the family squat
on the floor. The millet or rice which
Is the principal and oftentimes only ar
ticle of diet is brought In in a wooden
bucket and the wife ladles It out,
serves her husband first and often
times waits until the whole family has
finished before she partakes of the
food herself.
When the husband hns gone to the
field, the wife removes the dishes and
washes them, together with any pots
that may have been used, at the neigh
boring well or in the stream that flows
Just outside her cottage door. These
canals, or streams, are a great labor
saving Institution in Japan, and are
used for many and varied purposes.
The farmer, tired and dirty, after his
day's work, refreshes and cleanses
himself by a plunge Into the running
water. As one travels through the
country at one point one may see a
woman doing the family washing In
the stream. Further down the road
the tired, travel stained pilgrim may
be seen refreshing his weary feet by
laving them In the same water. At
other points travelers slake their thirst,
dusky urchins disport themselves and
the overworked wife cleanses her
dishes in it!
A marine' postoffice.
E. Cora De Puy, In the Pilgrim.
Everybody who has passed up or
down the Detroit river has seen the
Florence B. She Is the pet and pride
of the entire Postofflee Department,
while the little flag she floats bear
ing the familiar lettering, "U. S.
MAIL” invests each and every Indi
vidual who follows the Stars and
Stripes with a personal ownership in
all that pertains to her or hers.
All through the summer season, when
the weather permits, tourists on the
passing steamer decks, loiterers on the
liver pavilions, boys and girls on the
docks, sit by the hour and watch the
Florence B. Over and over again they
see her, pushing out Into the stream,
dodging the ferry boats, hurrying
around the port-bound steamers,
breasting the swells, braving the dan
gers of collision, yet her ventures are
ever new, her life a story not devoid
of the dramatic element.
Thousands of vessels pass Detroit ev
ery year; more, In truth than enter
any one of the great ports of New
York, London or Liverpool. For these
hundreds of boats, there Is always
mall, as well as mail aboard them for
delivery ushore. and it Is to Insure
delivery and collection of this Impor
tant mall matter, that the Florence B.
makes her continuous and ofttlmes
perilous trips.
The mall delivered by the marine
letter carriers must be taken out to
passing vessels, ratn or shine, hall or
snow, during the entire season of nav
igation; no matter what the speed of
the passing boats, the mall must be
delivered to them, and received from
them, without the vessel slackening
pace for a moment and It often hap
pens that the bouts are running at the
rale of fifteen miles an hour.
The |<o*to!llek employes on the yacht
are thoroughly familiar with all of the
vast fleets of lake vessels which pen*
through the Detroit river many times
a'year, and they know exactly when
each leial or fleet Is due. Boats do not
always achieve schedule time, however,
and thus, the only way to make sure
