A "HUNG" JURY !

REDMON BAILED IN THESUM OF $4,000.

After a long and tedious selection of

jurymen from a venire of 230 men, thetrial of Joseph Iv. Eedmon, indicted forthe murder of Wm. H. Secrest, draggedthrough the weary hours of several days,followed by several days of speech-makin- g

on both sides, and the case was givento the jury Wednesday morning. Atabout 10 o'clock a. m., the jury camedown and reported that they couldn'tagree. The Judge sent theni back totheir room, and about 6 o'clock in theafternoon, they reported again to theJudge that it would be impossible forthem to agree, and they were at once discharged.

The jury stood as follows : For thedeath sentence, Edwin Thomason andWm. Simpson. For 21 years in the pen-itentiary: John Trundle, Frank Morris,Letcher Weathers, David Cassidy, A.Forman, Gus Pugh, Jeff Kiser, JeffSmith. For acquittal : James HenryTalbott, of Shawhan, and George G.Thompson, of Clintonville.

Immediately after the dismissal of thejury, the attorneys for the defense de-

manded bail, and a bond of $4,000 withGeorge G. White as surety, was proffered,accepted, and the prisoner turned loose.

The action of the jury is the subject ofmuch severe comment, although the pub-lic anticipated the "hung" jury as soonas it was selected and paraded before thepublic. The knowing ones who had se-

lected their man or men who would"hang" the jury got badly left, and weredumbfounded when the result was madeknown,

It is "generally conceded now that theGovernor will finish up the job, by thetransmission of a pardon long before theOctober days shall have arrived.

EXPRESSIONS ON TILE CASE.

We have heard a great many good menthe best men in the city and county,

express themselves freely, regarding notonly this ease, but many others in theState, and all agree to the incompetencyof the law to reach criminals under thepresent jury sj'stem. All join in de-

nouncing the proceedings in criminalcourts a farce. All appear to be dis-

gusted alike, and say that the State Con-

stitution and the jury system needto be thoroughly revised. We finda few good men who were infavor of law and order, who have benttheir energies toward the enforcement ofthe concealed weapon law, now proclaimthat every man who loves home and theluxury of life, should buckle on his ar-

tillery and be prepared to defend hislive by even taking the drop on all whoprefer to inflict bruises or other bodilyharm, for the enforcement of the law isnot to be feared.

s.Phil. Thompson Indicted.

Phil. Thompson Jr., has been indictedfor murder, by the Grand Jury at Har-rodsbur- g,

but will demand bail under theproceedings of the habeas corpus act.Thompson does not appear easy sincethe return of the Grand Jurr, and foisojie time promenaded the porch of hisresidence. A Grand Juror states thatthere was always perfect unanimity inthe jury-roo- m, but that they wanted toact advisedly. Another states that twojurors approved the indictment, but as ittakes four to prevent they came over.Mr. and Mrs. Eoth did not testify. Thelaw requires the Clerk to issue a benchwarrant within ten days after the ad-

journment of Court, and he will certainlylet the limit run in thiaioase unless inter-fered with, which is unlikely. Hon.Daniel W. Yorhees has volunteered hisservices for the defense, and able counselwill be secured for the prosecution.

MRS. THOMPSON INTERVIEWED.

The Courier-Journ- al has interviewedthe wife of Phil Thompson, Jr., and inher interview, denied bitterly that shehad done any wrong beyond drinking toomuch ; and asserted that Miss Bucknerhad brought all the trouble on in an en-

deavor to "get even" with Davis' wife,who had refused to recognize Miss Buck-

ner after the scandal which caused herseperation from her husband, Mr. Tom-linso- n.

Mrs. Thompson's story appearsto be gaining considerable credence, andthere are not afew who think that Phil.Thompson was too hasty.
