Jury Out All Night on the Slappy Murder Case. The unusual case of Will Hunt, col ored, charged with robbery, who went to trial Monday afternoon before only two jurors, culminated Tuesday morning when a sealed verdict of guilty was read to the court, and a sentence of $95.00 or 12 months im posed on the defendant. Monday afternoon, when Will Hunt*3 case was called, all the Jurors except six or seven were engaged on cases. With the consent of the accused and of his attorney, Mr. O. R. Eve, the solicitor proceeded with the six or seven Jurors, of whom Mr. Eve scratched all except two, Charles Lankey and Thomas H. Goodrich. Be fore these two, therefore the case was tried, and by them the accused was found guilty with recommendation that he be punished as for a misde meanor. Such a jury Is of course legal, if the consent of the accused be granted, but the procedure was so unusual that not the oldest members of the bar present had ever seen a parallel case before. After the reading of the ver dict, the court inquired of the Jury if they had had any trouble electing a foreman. Monday afternoon, William McKin ley, colored, succeeded, through his attorney, Mr. J. J. Jones, in having a case of car-breaking against him non-prossed. No Verdict in Slappy Case. The Jury sluing on the case of Will Slappy, charged with the murder of Ed Pointer, after staying out all night, reported at noon Tuesday that they had been unable to reach a ver dict. It was rumored that they stood eight to four. The Judge, sent them back with a charge to agree upon a verdict if possible, and exhorted them not to be inflexible about changing a decision merely because they had declared their position, but to attempt to be open-minded and not unreason able to argument. Verdict Directed for George Queen.
