E. rl. Stokes. The jury reached its vexlict in slightly less than an hour’s deliberation- 58 minutes ♦0 be exact. "The shooting sl.ow girls’’ ivere tried on an indictment of three counts, the first charging pn attempt to murder Stokes. Of consideration of this count, how ever, the jurors were relieved by Justice Marcus, at the request of the district attorney. The court restricted the jury to the second and third counts, which charged respectively assault in the first degree, with intent to kill, and assault in the second degree, with intent to do bodily injury. While the jury was deliberating the two defendants were held prosiners in an adjoining room. Waiting was obviously a severe ordeal for both- When summon ed to hear the verdict. Miss Gra ham appeared completely un strung and was assisted into the eoui't room, trembling in every limb. The more spirited Miss Conrad came unassisted, but she seemed highly nervous. When the foreman announced the words “not guilty,”’ Miss Conrad cried, “thank God,’’ and went into violent hysterics. She sank to the counsel table, then jumped up again, shrieking and tearing her hair and throwing ner arms about wildly. The girl’s hysteria continued for fully ten minutes before friends succeeded in quieting her. She recovered as suddenly as she was attacked, and with Miss Gra ham on her arm, issued from the court room to be greeted with chters by a large crowd gather ed outside. Many persons step ped forward to shake their hands. Tky stepped into a taxicab and n-ere whirled away to dinner. _ The jury arrived at its verdict after taking four ballots. On three of them the jurymen voted each time 11 to 1 for acquital, the one man dissenting being in favor of a conviction of“ second degree assault. stopped in the third round.

Morris towered above his opponent and seemed to receive the two or three blows that were landed by Williams with complete indiffer ence, Morris never sought to do the )eading, but was content to close and in the in-fightinggot in short arm» jabs that did their work quite effectually. Williams soon was bleeding copieusly while Mor ris was unscarred. In the second and twice in the third Wiilia‘ms went to the floor.
