At 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening the jury informed the judge that an agreement eeernod impossible, and lie instructed the jurors to continue their deliberations. The party sat up for several hours until some of the women were unable to remain awake, and, placing cushions on the tables, lay down to sleep. “The men treated us with courtesy” (said one of the jurywomen, Mrs Bessie Hack), “but most of us, of course, wore anxious about our children. Wo wondered what sort of breakfast our husbands would give thorn.”
