Tha Wigwam restaurant at 233 First

The room was permeated with the rank

ried around with loaded trays In their
hands and occasionally stumbled over
the outstretched arm . of a dead man
who lay huddled In -A heap In the cor
ner near the kitchen door, where he
had fallen. .
After the curious crowd that always
collects where anything unusual .. has
happened had been, dispersed b the

Its face unturned to the flare of the

vra Nobody else knew, either.
The man, said the proprietor to the
detectives who were sent up to see if
there was anything needing Investiga

asked what there was on the bill of
fare th&t - he could buy for 15 cents.
A waiter told him there-was nothing
that could be had for that price but
said he would give him a bowl of soup.
The stranger sat down at a table and
ate his soup ana then got up and start

THIRTY ARRESTED
IX GAMBLING DEN
Rutle UftnL. Oct. 17 Thirty mn
were arrested In a gambling raid late
tonight on Jerry Crowley's saloon. The
officers battered down heavy timbered
door and hammered their way through
iron gratea entrance., in aeputie
wr compelled to use tbir guna on
gambler whom they found under ta
ble, boxes, rha'r and In dark cor
ner. Th aaroes wer in chars f an
-Dollceman. named Radmllovlk-h. The
officer secured 500.
dozen thought Martin should bo con
victed, the majority of them favoring
a verdict in th first degree. The other
hnlf of tho Jury regarded th circum
stantial chain of the state as weak in
soma of its links, and were not willing
to say by their verdict that th. blood
of Nathan Wolff had been fixed on the
defendant beyond - a reasonable , doubt.

On the first ballot, which was taken
on the simple question of guilt or in
nocence, without regard to the. degree
of guilt, eight stood for conviction and
four for acquittal. . . iVi . .
But it soon developed that two of
those who gave ballots for conviction
were really Inclined to th defense, and
they voted that way most of th time
afterward. It also developed that some
of those votina for conviction , wer In
favor of tho second degre.
Then th conflict between th oppos
ing forces settled down Into what
seemed likely to be a drawn battle. So
many ballots wer taken that th Jur
ors lost count. Thy estimate th num.
ber at 40. Between these ballots ther
was time for argument and analysis of
the testimony, but this apparently had
little effect, for the voting waa sub
stantially th same. Thus ft continued
through th night, with only a little
mora than an hour for sleep. Early
yesterday morning th voting ws re
sumed, and it seemed that a deadlock
must result. j
Some of the Jurors wer ready to
quit, and wanted to report to Judgt
Cleland thatthey could not agr. But
other clunrf to hope for a verdict, and
argued that they owed It to th state
to save the expense of another trial if
possible. About .11 o'clock the sugges
tion was made a verdict of luanalaught-
er. It did not meet instant ivur. m
several of th better debaters took It
up and the balloting became mixed. The
compromise spirit had atarted on Its
course, and although som of the more
determined ones wer reluctant tn
rhun. thev were overpowered by th
arguments of the majority. ,
