After deliberating for three hours and forty-five minutes the jury sent out a message stating that it was "hopelessly deadlocked." The judge thereupon, over defendant's objection, read to the jury a passage, slightly modified, from the opinion in Allen v. United States, 164 U.S. 492, 501-502, 17 S.Ct. 154, 157, 41 L.Ed. 528 (1896).2
