2 GIBSON JUIS UNABLE TO AGREE Division Said To Be Nine For Conviction to Three For Acquittal. GOSHEN, N, Y„ Nov. 28.—The jury trying Burton V . Gibson, for the mur der of Countess Rosa Mensi hlk Bzabo, on Greenwood lake, July 16, announced Its Inability’ to agree at 11:15, when it had been out fifteen hours and thirty live minutes. The division was said to be nine for conviction and three for ac quittal. Twice before it had reported n disagreement, but each time had been sent back by Justice Tompkins to con tinue Its deliberations. Foreman J. L. Hicks, of the jury, had announced wheti the second report was made at 9:47 o’clock, that there was a possibility of a verdict being reached, so when word was sent into court that the jury was ready to report again at 11:15 o’clock, there was a flutter of excitement. Gibson was again taken Into court from his cell, and, despite the likelihood of a verdict, he was calm. Mrs Gibson was not in court, havim. been ordei'ed to bed an hour before by her physician. The news of the dfsagreemtfWt was kept from her upon ordersSiW D>- O'Reilly, one of the medical expyi'.J.f tor the defense, under wlio.se cure x)>v :les - Jury Interrogates Judge. The first report from the jury came at three minutes after 2 a. m., or J - hours and twenty-four minutes after the jurors got the ease. Justice Tomp kins, who had gone to a neighboring ■hotel at the clone of the uay’s session of court, was summoned, and J. T. Hicks, foreman of th- jury, announced that th twelve could come to ho verdict. They were ordered back, and then the fore man asked: "Does the question of guilty or not guilty hinge on whether Mrs. Ritter (Countess Szabo) was strangled . “It rests upon all the evidence,” re plied the court. “If J’ou find she met her death at the hands of tile defend ant. then your verdict must be ren dered in the first degree.” "Must we consider al! the other evi dence in its relation to murder?” asked another juror, “You must,” replied the court. Attorney Robert H. Elder, counsel for the defense, jumped to Ills feet after the Juror had ceased questioning' Jus tice Tompkins and sliouied: “I move —” Before he could go any further he was stopped by Justice Tompkins, who said he would not consider any mo tions at that time. When the jurors had gone back to their room the judge returned to his ho tel, leaving word that he would accept a verdict at any time. Both Nsar Collapse. At 2:30 o’clock the jury again re sumed its deliberations. At that hour botli Mr. and Mrs. Gibson were awake and both were bordering on collapse. Mrs. Gibson wept violently in the court room as the jury retired, and hud to be comforted by two women friends. Gib son was pale and trembling as he was led back to his cell, and court attaches feared that he was going to faint. Later in his cell Glbaon regained his composure and sent a reassuring mes sage to his wife, telling her not to wor ry, as he was sure "everything would come out all right.” go keen was the general interest In the case that more than 100 spectators hung about the court-house all night waiting for a verdict.

Ever stand at r ive Points and watch the czar review his armies? Looks like a cinch, doesn't it. stand ing in tiie street and telling other folks which way to go and when to stop and when to come on! Nothing to do but stand there and hold up a white-gloved hand and make everybody mind! But did you ever try standing in one place five or six hours on a stretch? Just think how you kick when your car is three minutes late and the morn ing is cold and the wind blowing forty miles an hour. And then just imagine being right in the middle of the pave ment with four streams of traffic swirl ing about you and trying to tangle up. It must be like standing on a. rock in the middle of Niagara river, lust above the falls. And even then the river could look after Itself and not try to run four different ways at once and smash things. Being a traffic cop wouldn’t be so bad if it were not for the traffic. B'way Has Nothing on Five Points. But Five Points is just about as busy a spot at some times of day as any of the popular song corners of Broadway and Umpty-stecnth street. There’s all the traffic the pavement will bear, and nobody could crowd In any more. And Chief Beavers says the Broadway squad hasn't got anything on his traffic cops, even if its men are six foot three and stand like they wore check reins. He thinks Reub Burnett and Charley Mitchell are as good as any of them when It comes to keeping automobiles from climbing into trolley cars, and that's what traffic cops are for. A reporter spent an hour with Mitch ell and Burnett today. Not exactly with them, either, for they urged him to get on the sidewalk, where lie wouldn’t get run over. He spent the rest of the hour inside a cigar store, looking out the glass door, which was warmer and safer. lie began with an earnest effort to count the vehicles passing the cor ner, but quit after the first five min utes and the first hundred”and seventy five motors, trucks, drays, cubs, trolley cars, bicycles and farm wagons. It’ the statistic-loving reader can get any sat isfaction from these figures, as far as they go, he is welcome. “How many talks pass this corner in an hour? Ask me something easy.

I Moreland avenue is, but that ear'll take you there.” I'p Decatur street comes a string of one-horse drays, creeping along with each horse’s nose hung over the wagon bed in front, and every driver half asleep on his seat. The white glove goes up. the line halts and jams, block ing the sidewalk and cutting off forty pedestrians who want to cross. Officer Mitchell steps over. "Go ahead, you,” lie commands, "You next man, hold up there. Let "these people by. Open up that line.” Down comes a six-cylinder ear, lead ed witji young folks, a woman at the wheel. It dashes into the jam; she tries to turn into Marietta street; rind the driver coming south barely pulls up his team in time to check a smash. The woman driver is contrite. "Oh, I thought you said go ahead." she explains. The traffic cop is all smiles. "Don't ever turn to the left around a corner,” he says, quietly. "Swing way out to the right and take the outside. Then you won’t get into trouble.” Amateurs Worst To Handle. Down comes a clattering truck, load ed loosely with iron bars and clanking like a tin roof in a gale. The driver must be making his last trip, for he sends his mules flying into Peachtree, only to be checked by that white glove. “Look here, you,” says the traffic man “I've warned you once. Next time you come through here like that it’s you to the station house. See? Now, drivt on.” “It’s negro draymen and amateur au to drivers that give us the most trou-s ble,” explained one of the officers "Folks that are used to passing here don't worry us much. They drive down and wait for the signal and don’t lose much time. But these amateurs, they come through liekety-split, scared of their car, and afraid to monkey with it. and they’re likely to h t somebody. And the negro drivers, why, they come a-bustin’ through like they had a ten acre field to drive tn, 'specially along late In the evenin’, when they’re <Jh their way home to hot catfish and beer. The motormen, too, give us trouble sometimes, but the company has post ed orders that they’ve got to mind the traffic policemen just like anybody else, and they ain't so bad now.” Two Me.’ at the Points. There are two men on duty at Fiv< Points most of the day. Burnett will lake the difficult Decatur street cor ner for an hour, while Mitchell holds down the lighter corner of Edgewood and Peachtree. Then they will swat jobs for an hour. Each is given an hour and a half off for lunch, and while one is gone the other must guard all five of the arteries, which is some job and E. C. Thornton, one of the best traffic cops on the force, guards the cor ner when the others go off duty.
