BESENT THE REPORTS MAJORITY OF KINRADE JURORS NOT PLEASED. They Say They Are Satisfied With the Verdict Rendered--The Jurors Cannot Re-assemble As Their Duties Are Over. Hamilton, Ont., May 14.--The Kin- ride jurors strongly resent the re- ports which have been appearing about them to the effect that they rendered their verdict under a mis- apprehension . and that they intended to hold another meeting in the near future to consider the matter and possibly to pass a vote of censure on the 'government. Two, or possibly three, jurors profess to be dissatis- fied but the remainder emphatically declare they are satisfied with the verdict, that they always have been #0, and that they have not the slightest intention of holding another meeting. Coroner Anderson says they could not meet as jurors any- way, because with the closing of the ingest their duties ceased altogeth- er. The only way in which the mat- ter could be re-opened would be to have another jury sworn in and the botly exhumed. There is, of course, no thought of taking this action. Coroner Anderson has received a let ter from Mr. Blackstock who thanks the coroner for his courtesy. It is also understood that Mr, Blackstock expressed his gratitude to the jurors for "their expression of confidence in the manner in which the inquest was conducted.

The crime was murder and nothing else. The jury was eyually divided, half for murder and half for acquittal on the ground of insanity. None of those who took the latter position really believed Hains to be insane. Though that was claimed on his behalf he did not believe it himself, nor did those who plead it for him believe it. On the part of the jurymen, it was simply, as in the Thaw case, a fic tion under which they could apply, 'na wmeasure, the "unwritten law' which allows an injured husband slay the man who destroys his ily relations.
