é PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS IN BRIEF JURY FAIL8 TO AGREE. Ruef Again E scapes, but New Trial Will Be P ressed. San Francisco, May 22— Unable to agree, after being out almost 44 hours, the jury in the case of Abraham Ruef, charged with offering a bribe to former Supervisor Jennings J. Phillips, was dis charged at 5 o'clock last evening by Judge Maurice T. Dooling. Thirteen ballots were taken, and the jury stood 6 to 6 from the outset. At no stage was there a chance for an agreement, the credibility of the witnesses being the main point upon which the jurors di vided. The failure of the jury to convict will not alter the attitude of the prosecution as there are numerous indictments pend ing against Ruef, on ooe of which he will be placed on trial as soon as the state can make its arrangements to that end. In view of this fact the board of supervisors today appropriated $70,000 for the continuance of the g raft prose cutions. Resuming their deliberations yester day morning, the jury was called into court at 11:45 o'clock by Judge Doo ling, but asked the court for more time. The request was granted and they re tired. Whcnr 4 o ’clock arrived the bailiff or dered the courtroom cleared, as Judge Dooling had decided to send for the jury in a short time, and there was a desire to avoid any demonstration on the part of the spectators. As a result attorneys directly interested and the members of the press were about the only ones in attendance when the jurors filed in and took their places in the box. Foreman Penny arose, and in response to the question of Judge Dooling said it was impossible for the jury to agree. Each juror was then questioned by Judge Dooling, and all agreed that they could not arrive at a verdiet. Judge Dooling then formally discharged the jury. __________________ BUILD TO PACIFIC.
