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.
