JURY LOCKED UP
IN FOSTER CASE
Unable to Reach Verdict After
Deliberating for Thirty
Minutes.
WOMAN SPRINGS SENSATION
Mrs. Hicks, of Fluvanna, Charges
That Defense Witnesses
Were Bribed.
After hnlf tin hour of discussion had
failed to bring about an agreement;
the jury in Henrico county court
which has in Its hands the fate of
Edmun<] Foster, the Inspired preacher,
was locked up at the Lexington Hotel
last night and court adjourned until
this morning, when the jury will again
iitlenipt to arrive at a verdict. The
former trial of K?ster, who has been
indicted for continued misconduct
with a sill ward, resulted In a dis?
agreement.
In the effort to conclude the case
yesterday. Judge West held the court
?n continuous session until after 8
o'clock last night, ttio lawyers agree?
ing to submit the case to the Jury
without argument. The court gave the
jury half an hour in which to arrive
nt a verdict, but at the end of the]
allotted time the foreman reported that!
the Jury was divided. It is likely that
the Jury may bo so hopelessly divided
that any verdict will be Impossible,
and a third trial made necessary.
Mrs, llleh.s oa Stand.
The feature of yesterday's hearing
was the testimony of Mrs. Nannie,
Hicks, of Fluvanna. who testified that
Ada Kathcrlne Alecks, the ward of;
Edmund Foster, was born In the year
IS9S, which would make her under the,
legal age of consent at the time of!
the alleced misconduct. Mrs. Illcks!
first took the girl in charge on the ;
death of her mother, anil committed ,
Ada to the care of the Children's !
Home of Virginia, from which she was!
later intrusted to the Fosters. In the:
effort to refute her damaging evidence,
Louis O. Wondcnburg, who Is attorney!
for the defense, produced a half-dozen :
witnesses from Fluv anna, who lest!-1
lied adversely to Mrs. Hlcks's char?
acter for veracity.
While Edmund Foster himself took
the stand yesterday, his evidence was '
of a negative character, He faced a
severe (Ire of questions front Common?
wealth's Attorney Simon, but was firm
in the denial of everything allegeii
against him. Mrs. Hlcks's husband
took the stand to uphold hlg wife's
testimony.
There was a sensation In the court?
room when Mrs. Hicks broke out, un?
der Mr. Wendenhurg's grilling exami?
nation, into a hitter denunciation of i
(he defense's witnesses from Fluvanna,
who. she vehemently declined, had
been bribed.
Sn.v? They Were Bribed.
"1 know who you have brought ?
? down lo re." cried Mrs. Hicks, leaning
1 front her chair toward Air. Wonden
j hurg. "and I know they have been
bribed. They were all promised a
plenty of corn whiskey and a good
time If they would come down to Rich?
mond and testify to certain tilings.''
Mr. Wendenburg was on his feet in
an instant, his face naming red. to
interrupt the course of the witness's
remarks, .ludce West also tired Several
; questions at her. but for thu time he
! ing the sensat'onal charge was
! dropped. There |s a possibility that
this side of the CR-se will he pressed
I further when the trial has been con
I eluded.
? The defense scored well when It In
I trod need .1. w. Davis, a Flurnnnn
' farmer, who swore his age was n'nety
j two years, to testify against the good
character of Mrs. Hicks. His evidence
j was somewhat nullifies by the Com
j nionwenlth's attorney, hut the age of
: the witness appeared to exert con
' nldcrable influence with the Jury. Judge
West himself frequently took a hand
I in the examination of the witness, and
i showed by the nature of his ques
f lions that lie Is eminently fitted for j
: the ho-or he holds. W. ,T. Meeks, the
father of the girl, took the stand (or
the defense, but as he has at one time
. been In an asylum his hazy and con?
tradictory evidence was of little value.
! The whole case seems to hinge on the
i age of Ada Meeks.

SCHOOL INQUIRY
AGAIN TO-NIGHT
Two Matters on Program Which
May Make Session Un?
usually Lively.
MUCH TALK OF DIVISION
Committee Anxious to Hcai
About Secret Meeting Held
by Elementary Teachers.
The Special Committee on Investi?
gation of the Public Schools will con?
tinue, its Inquiry into the curriculum
In thu primary and grammar Krudes
to-night at S o'clock, hearing further
from the committee of the Elementary
Teachers' Association. It .iocs not
seem to be clear on yet Just what ef?
fect on the local school situation or
on the pending inquiry will result
from the action of the State. Board of
'Education this week rn refusing to
make certain changes in the book
lists In these grades. Some of the
teachers who have testified have laid
much stress on the opinion tint tile
text books wore loo hard and unat?
tractive for children of the uge biing
taught.
There are two other matters that !
may enliven the session to-night.
Members of tho committee desire to i
hear something of a secret meeting ,
of the Elementary Teacher's Assocla- ,
llOll held last week at Coil- I
tral School, In which ih"ft! present!
dl\ Ided about evenly on a reso?
lution to Indorse as the official opin?
ion of the association tho testimony
..f Miss Mallonce.
Whnt Members llenrd.
Members of the committee have
been informed that there were only I
about thirty teachers at the meeting,
out of the 252 In the elementary I
grades. Another matter about which
the cbihmltteo wants llui.' Is the poll;
of patrons being taken by direction
of tho principles of certain schools.
.Members of the committee have been
informed that certainly at the Kox
School and possibly ai others the]
pupils have been Instructed to secure I
an expression from their parents]
whether they dcslra manunl training
and music retained In the school
course. .lust who authorized this
poll does not seem clear. and the
committee desired to know how
thoroughly It has been taken, and
how reliable are the results.
NOT ROBBED IN COURT
Visitors' Thought So, However, and
Created Decided 1 pranr.
"The drinks are on mo. captain."
said M. S. Herman, a broker, of Sa?
vannah. Ga., yesterday afternoon as
he walked Into the office of Ch'ef of
Detectives McM?hori. Herman created,
a sensation In Police Court during the
forenoon by dramatically announc'ng
that his pocket had been picked ol
$130. Two men who were near h'm
were searched by Detective Krcngel
and every effort was made to locate
ib.- stolen money, lint without result.
For more than an hour no one was
per milled to leave the court room.
The mystery was cluu-ed up by Her?
man when he told Captain McMahoii
that he later found he had not been
robbed at nil; that he had left his
Wallet in a pair of trousers lie had
worn the day before, and which he
bad left lit his room. 2032 West Grnee

system has helped to make the prosperity of this
country. It has enabled every community to finance
itself through Its own wealth and its own citizens.
Under it, character has often been the asset that
has secured capital for a start In life.
"National banking has furnished money good as
gold the world over. A noteholder of a national
bank has never lost a dollar through the failure of a

A suh:ommittee,aftcr hearing from th3

In a letter to the committee, asked that

that it would be u.ieloss to get up

H. Duke, of the Richmond. Freder'ckS
burg and Potomac Railroad, said that
the rjleases had not been secured across
the railroad, and thut the oompnny
would seriously object to a grade cross?
ing with the Belt Line tracks. It de- I
veloped that there wan nothing tan- |
glble before the coinmitte-j save Mr. 1

not accepted the offer In writing as
to his tract nor seen the. deed convey?
ing to th-> city the rights of way, nor
were the other offers for opening the

whole matter was therefore referred

tions for the property of ths Kline

question of opening Lombardy Streit

to pending proceedings to open an alley* 1
between (Irace and Uroad and Sixth]
