There were all sorts of rumors and guesses in the air to-day as to how the Jury stood. There were more different reports as to the results of the hallots than there could possibly have been test votes taken. None of the reports had any degree of authen ticity.. Some were uttered in Jesby prominent figures connected with' the trial and occasionally these were tak en In deadly earnest by persons who overheard them. The action of the jury Is twice go ing before Justice Fitzgerald to have certain portions of thj testimony read to them was widely commented upon and naturally caused much specula tion. It seemed evident ; that the Jury's deliberations were hinging up on the question of tho sanity or insan ity of the defendant as shown toy the defense. : The Jury showed almost startling familiarity with the evidence and the testimony they desired to hear again to-day- was, given- la-part by persons who ' wer not referred to In the summing up speeches of either Mr. Delmas or District Attoreny Je rome. ' ( , NOT THE ''UNWRITTEN LAW," From the manner in which th Ju rors wished to go over tho evidence In all Its detail, it was surmised that a verdict ' if reached at all would 'be predicated entirely upon the evidence and not upon "the unwritten law," Justice Fitzgerald spent the entire evening In his chambers 'awainting pleasure. of the Jurors.

Special to The Observer. -j-i-. j Carolina Hotel, Plnehurst, April 11. the last day of the tenth meeting of the Conference for Southern Educa tttra" was held to-day, and to-morrow the big Carolina Hotel will close un til November.. It was the most enjoy able day of the-week. The forenoon was devoted to the discussion of agriculture and Dr." Sea man A. Knapp's address produced a scene like a revival meeting. "Sea man" is the proper name for Dr. Knapp, for he is a typical old ship captain, .with gray , side whiskers, broad, ruddy face and large figure. He read from manuscript, but frequently interpolated it with side remarks. For instance, hei was discussing common schools, when he looked up andv re marked, "But in our part of tne coun- SV there, are no. common schools- ey are , all most v extraordinary schools! study French, German, pl ana playing, painting and, I think, sculpture for they make mud pies. Some of them find themselves in a bad situation when they are required to translate Latin and they can't write English. Dr. Knapp-saJd: " i . h DR. KNAPP'S ADDRESS. . .

We have lived under a 'slavery where the chains - are ingeniously forged and the bands riveted with gold. It is all the same In effect; thft impoverishment of the masses." Dr. Knapp declared that the na tional banking law has caused a de pressing: influence by diverting most of the money of the country. Into com mercial channels. He advocated the establishment of..- agricultural banks throughout the South to nrovlde mon. ey for farmers to harvest their crops ana to improve . their farms. "The bankine caoltal of our countrv." h said, "has stimulated commercialism ana Dy its concentration in the cities has fostered gambling in stocks.'

' At the. close r of Dr. Knapp's, ad dress, Dr.. Mitchell rose to suggest that it be printed and circulated as widely as possible and asked the representa tive of the Associated Press to play it up. Mr. Hobson got the floor to say that if they would furnish him .manu script he' would get it printed in the congressional recordhave it struck off as an' "Extract," and, withvthe help of other Congressmen, put it into the hands of every voter in the United States. Mr. Whitfield said he would have ; it printed in Mississippi and scatter it knee-deep all over that State. Mr. Tufts did, better. He went to Dr. Knapp, got the manuscript and -a!d that. he would have it. printed to-day and. give" everybody a copy. Enthusi asm 'was so high that a dozen or so delegates were standing for no reason than excitement. It was refreshing to see a speech about farming excite anybody. -v i Mr. T. O.

It was Impossible to hear half what the speaker said. The house was packed when Hobson was introduced) as the hero of ; the Merrlmac, and when he came forward and stood with the tips ..of his fingers on the table he was , applauded with great enthusiasm. He spoke with' dig nity and with an evident desire to impress what he . had to say upon his hearers as practical stuff. DR. EDWIN MIMS SPEAKS. Dr. Edwin Mims, of Trinity College, was the only programme -speaker to night His audience was not so large as some of the speakers have had, for many of the people.went home on the afternoon train; but the attention paid him was all the better.
