the jury returning into Court and re-
porting that they were were unable to
agree. During the deliberations of the
jury it is understood that the vote stood
for the most part nine to three and
eight to four in favor of sustaining the
Win, but upon the last ballot and for
purpose of arriving at a decision it
stood seven to five, against the Will.
The case was more warmly contest

any in our Court for several years.
