Judge F. M .Brown discharged the

taken seven favored a verdict for
George Reinke and his co-defendants,
while four of those who remained
were for Gottschalk, and one man had
no opinion at all, voting blank.
Dan Wiltsey and George Stewart

the Reinke version. The jury stood
ten to two against the plaintiff at

ELECTRIC FISH
HOLDJIG SHIP
Boston, Nov. 8.—A remarkable story
was told by the crew of the British
freighter Rochelle, winch reached
port today four days late from San
Domingo. According to several of the
men, the delay was due principally
to electric fish, otherwise known as
torpedo fish, which were attracted by
the steel plates of the vessel and
fastened themselves by hundreds
against her bottom and sides.
The steamer was in the Gulf
Stream, north of Cuba, when she be
gan to slow down. The officers were
at a loss to account for the change
in the progress of the craft. Several
sailors said they felt a tingling sen
sation about theh feet and finger
tips. The steamer was held back
strangely. Members of the crew be
came alarmed.
A sailor looked over the side and
saw it was plastered with strange
looking fish. They were two or three
thick along the porf side under wa
ter. The starboard side also was cov
ered, and those on board believe the
fish extended to the keel plates.
As the Rochelle moved north and
got out of the warm waters of the
stream the fish dropped off and the
vessel immediately resumed her
speed. But the coal supply had run
so low that Captain Greig decided
to make Norfolk, where the bunkers
were refilled and the freighter resum
ed her passage.
