BECAUSE ONE OE

UNITED r-RXBS LBASB0 WIBS.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 20. Rather than
tell the court one of thoir number was
. ill, four' women jurors voted that Tho
odore Pappas was guilty of blaiekmail,
against thoir will. This fact came to
light this morning in four affidavits
sinned by tho women jurors in which
they frankly admitted deciding Pappas
was guilty when they thought him in
nocent. Tho women declared they held out
for acquittal until one of the women
jurors became quite ill. They snid that
in order to have the jury released so
that the women could get home, they
changed their vote for acquittal to con
viction. These facts were brought out
by James McBrido, attornoy defend
ing Pappas, in ordering a motion for a
new trial.
Upon reading the affidavits of the
four jurors this morning, Judge Ronald
called a motion for a new trial under
advisement, promising to give the con
cession Monday. j
both men drew revolvers and began to
shoot. The teller ducked under the
counter to escape the rain of bullets
and the robbers tried to reach a stack
of currency behind the cage, but were
unable to do so.
People living near the bank, aroused
by the shooting, rushed toward the
bank, and the robbers, becoming
alarmed, fled in the heavy fog that
enveloped the city. '
