Having completed its work for the
term, which included . a very diligent
inquiry into the sensational charge of
cruelty to convicts at Castle! Haynest
ine urana J ury,:came into the Suberi-
or court yesterday afternoon a little
after 4 .o'clock, made report to His
Honor. Judge T. A. Council, presid
ing, and were- dischargeu . for; tiie term
with thanks. The public was hardly
prepared for the sensational clause in
the report ,3 to the alleged cruelty
to -prisoners .and the "reading of it
served to add still greater interest to
ossip with -which the " streets have
been agog for several days- ' !.
Upon the. reading; of the report by
Foreman L. B. Rogers, Judge
cil thanked the jury very cordially
-tor me tnorougnness of its work and
commended the :. members for their
diligence and the ibusiness-Hke man
ner in which they ha,d gone about
their duties. A copy of the report was
ordered served on the Board of "Coun-
ty. Commissioners and the court wiH
take such action as is necessary in
regard. to the presentment at the next
term oi court. The solicitor stated
yesterday that no capias would issue
against Mr. Hocutt but that the pub-
lie presentment would take the usual
course, that is: It will be lield until
the next criminal term, when an In
dictment will probably be sent down
and returned"; as a true or not a true
bill as the case may be. It is stat
ed in behalf of those Involved that
the testimony Is practically all from
ex-convicts, whom the guards natur
ally set up .faave. every motive for
making the conditions show up "as
badly as possible.
Judge Council told the jury that he
had nothing to do with the recommen
dations In. the report but -ar copy pt
same would be served on the Board
of Count Commissioners, who would
no doubt give every; feature of the re
port proper consideration. The report
In full is as follows

COAST LINE YARD WRECK
Runaway "Shifter and Freight Cars
Dashed Into Florence Passenger
Train As Result of Former
Collision..
A shifting engine attached to four
empty freight cars ran amuck on the
Coast Line yards here yesterday after
noon, as the result of a collision with
another shifter at Ninth street' the
runaway under reverse, dashing back
down the yards and under the passen
ger shed .crashing into the front of
the Florence train, which had just
been made up and was waiting to pull
out on the regular schedule at 3:45
P. M. Fortunately no one was serious
ly injured, but two locomotives and
a couple of freight cars were partial-1
ly demolished.
The wreck came about in a most;
unusual manner and was discussed
with much Interest in railroad circles
last night Engineer J. W. Joyner and
Yard Conductor Bullock had started
out to the old Union depot with four
empty , freight cars from the lower
yards, the shifting engine pulling the!
cars with- tender in front At tne
same time Engineer Bowen was back-
Ing down the same track Into the low -
er yards a string of cars loaded with
cotton that had been out at the old
union depot until there was room for
them at the compress. ; The shifter
was behind the cars In the latter In
stance and. Engineer Joyner saw that
a collision was Inevitable. He re
versed bis engine, but too late to
avert the crash which came a moment
laterderailing one of the cotton cars,
smashing the tender of the outgoing
train and breaking In tie cab. Engl-
neer Joyner was thrown out but upon
recovering his engine, he found tne
throttle knocked, off and the steam on.

He rpirrflt.ted vprv much tn in
convenience the Jury by keeping them
longer together, but the law left no
alternative. He would remain, if nec
essary, until Monday. In sending
them back to the room, Judge Coun
cil said ..he would come again at 10
o'clock at night and ascertain the
probability of reaching an agreement.
At the latter hour, the jury was
again called and polled, each man an-1
swering that there was not probabil-J
ity of an agreement but with less em-i
phasis than during the afternoon. I
When the clerk .was about half)
through calling the . list, Juror Dailey I
said that while he could, not read the
minds of his colleagues, he believed
the outlook for an agreement more en
couraging than in the afternoon. That
settled any possibility of a mistrial
and Judge Council was-about to order
them back to the room, saying he
would come again at 8 o'clock the fol-
lowing morning, when Mr. Jesse Wil-1
der asked 15 minutes longer and more
explicit instructions, as to what con
stitutes the criminal charged. Judge
Council read the statute, supplement
ed it with further brief remarks and
sent the jury out for the 15 minutes
asked. At the end of about 20 minutes
a knock was heard on the door and
a few minutes later the verdict of not
guilty was returned through Mr. Wil
der, the foreman.
. When the verdict had been render
ed Mr. Wilder said he thought it due
the jury to say that the publication in
a morning paper of how the jury was
divided in number was mere conjec
ture; that the jury had given out
nothing and that even the bailiff in
charge did not know how they stood
and the jury had agreed not to dis
cuss the status of, the case in their
hands, even after their discharge.
Judge Council replied that of course,
it was understood to be mere specu-
1 lation in which an men, even him-
self, .indulged in and that no offense
j was meant The Jury was then dis-
charged with thanks for its service,
Judge Council saying he appreciated
the hardship under which they labor-
I ed but that it was merely the price
of citizenship and a duty which should
be cheerfully performed. Mr. Wilder
voiced the thanks of the jury for
the kindness and consideration shown
by His Honor and the court then took
a recess for the term,
Court met at 9:30 A. M. as usual

Mrs- Lippitt and ner daughter,
Mrs. John M. Walker, biting them
about the hands. The . dog was
immediately killed.' As a' precaution
ary measure, Dr. T. S. Burbank, the
attending physician in all the cases,
advised that those who had been bit
ten should go at once to Richmond,
Va., for treatment in Pasteur Institute.
Accordingly, Mrs. Kingsbury and lit
tle daughter, accompanied by young
Mr. Theodore Kingsbury, Mrs. Lippitt
Mrs. Walker and Miss Sarah Lippitt
left last night for Richmond for the
celebrated treatment. Their many
friends hope that no untoward devel-
opments may come as a result of the
bite of the dog and that they may re-
turn to the city early with no further
cause for alarm. The dog has symp
toms of hydrophobia, but it is sincere
ly hoped that nothing will come of the
attack.
