Kvan wbea the dim light that came through windows of the jury loom Indicated the Jurore bad given up tbeir arguments for the night ami were attempting to sleep, rumors from inside the building found their way to the patient waiters. The source of these rumors no ohe knew and. little faith waa placed in their truthfulness. In tha early night mysterious information had it that tha Jury stood Arm on tha aide of nine for acquittal, one for conviction of murder in the second degree and two unable to agree upon the degree of manalaughter of, w hlch they believed the prisoner guilty. Before daylight, however, there had been a decided change in the sentiment of the Jury, according to report. At that time story which gained considerable circulation had eleven Jurors favoring acquittal and one holding out for conviction of murder iu the first n. degree. The first nign of life in the big building came Just before daybreak, when n bright light flickered np in the window of the Jury room scarcely more than a dozen feet away from the court house end of the bridge of aighn A little later the officers who had been on guard all night came out one by oue for breakfast and a little after 7 o'clock the jurors, guarded by court officers, marched out to a nearby restaurant for their morning meal. As they came Franklin street the Jurors through met crowd of not lens than two hun-be- d persons. Including the guard who had remaiaed on duty nil night. If the crowd hud exthe pected to learn anything from faces of the jurors they were dleappoint-a- d for there wps nothing in their expression save weariness. It was learned that the room in which the night was past waa entirely without furniture with the exception of table and a dozen ptnalj wooden chairs. Whatever rest the Jurors got, therefore, was obtained under far from Ideal conditions. They suffered from cold during the night, too. the officers said, and the engineer wan roused in the early mornmore ing boure with a request lor team. After the hardest day of her life, a day which opened with the brightest hope and ended in darkest despair. Nan Patterson Telired to her cot in the Tomb half an hour after midnight. It has been reported from the little pen over the jury room where she spent th king hours of waiting yesterday and last evening, that she wan on the verge of nervous prostration, and that even her aged father, who had leen constantly at her side through all her trouble, waa unable to calm her. According to the matron of the Tombs, however, the girl had hardly touched her cot in the cell before she was asleep. Her sleep wan troubled, and she awoke many times during (he night, but on the whole got a much better night's rest than might have been ex- i ed pected. I don't sea bow she does it," said the matron. "She has the most wonderful nerve of any women I ever knew. Thia morning Mian Patterson asked for newt from the jury. She became hysterical while awaiting an answer, and the Ttomba warden went to see her. Ha as urad her that there waa no news, and that she could not. possibly hear anything until It waa announced in court. Instead of assuring her this news made her wocae.

At 10:30, the hour which had been sei for the opening of the court, word came by telephone that Justice Davis was delated and ihat he would not reach the court house until 11:3i. In the meantime tha police stai toned about the court bouse corridors had serious difficulty holding in check the crowds clamoring for admission. At 11:30 John Randolph Patterson, the prisoner's father, came in and took a Beat at connaels table. No word had come from Justice Dm vis to that time. A moment later tha Jurors, their fares showing deep lines as a result of their all night vigil, tiled aolvmuly in and took their places behind the rail. Miss Patterson had not reached tha court up to that time but aa the jurors marched down tha aisle her father, half turning in his chair, gazed Intently upon Their fares. As ha turned back and fumbled nervously a paper which lay upon the table, his hands shook as if with palsy.

You remember I stood Mr. Rand's stuck as long a I could; 1 Just broke down and crieil, and I thought that maybe they thought I was that kind of a w nman. The missionary reassured her and she became mora cheerful. Henry W. Unger. of counsel for Nan Patterson, said after the Jury had been discharged: We will not take any further action in the case until we learn what Mr. Jerome Intends to do. We have reason to hope, however, that he will consent to her release on her own recognizance, pending further disposition of the case. to Already telegrams have begun come into the Tombs for Miss Patterson from friends who point out to her that the disagreement of the Jury goes to show that alia will finally be acquitted of the charge. This afternoon, after a careful consideration of the ease, one of Mias Patterson's counsel said that he felt It would be the part of wisdom to wait "until the smoke of battle had cleared away before making the next move. He said it was a pity that Mira Patterson would have to stay in her cell over Christmas but he saw no way to prevent It. Some time next week, he said, her rouuscl probably would ask bail for her and that the (20.000 in which she was first held he reduced. The future of the rase, he declared, would depend a great deal upon the attitude of the six members of the Jury who were opposed to her acquittal. MOTHER AWAITS HER. Washington, Dec. 23. Mrs. railer-son- , mother of Nan Patterson, is In a state bordering on collapse. A relative said today aha was grieving constantly and waiting momentarily for her daughter. The family la keeping from her the fact that the Jury has been discharged. Nan Patterson collapsed again when she was being taken across the brldgn of sigbs. It was said she was In a serious condition for the time being. Sbe was revived sufficiently to be taken to her cell where she again collapsed. The prison surgeon was called to attend her and her father waa sent' for. When he arrived she did not scroi to recognize him. It was twenty-fou- r liuiirs almost to a minute alter the Jury was sent out that the word wan sent to Juntire Davis that it was ready to make its fin I report. The attorneys I were hurriedly summoned and Patterson's father, who had been stroll- ing around the corridors, wss notified that ihn jury was about to return. Ha had scsrcnly taken his srat when the jury took Its plate in tha Jury box. From tha expression on their faces it wa apparent that their determination had not been altered in the brief hour that had elapsed since their foreman informed the court that an agreement was impossible. A moment later Mine Patterson walked rapidly down the anile and quickly sank into her seat at her father's aide. In hrr face there was little to indicate that any hope of acquittal remained with her. Her clenched hauds rested upon the table and her piercing gaxe was fixed upon the foreman aa tha customary questions were asked by the clerk. When the reply was given that no decision had been reached and there was absolutely no hope of a verdict being agreed upon, the defendant, for tha first time during her long suspense, gave way completely to her She threw her arms around feelings. hrr father's neck and. burying her a head on hia shoulder, sobbed like vu !
