The Frankfort kidnapping Case.

FRANKFORT, April 25.-(Special-l THE jury
in the Pray case, which has absorbed the atten-
ton of the court for the last week. was dis
charged this morning, they being unable to
agree.
The trial of Doc Pray, charged with kidnap-
ing, created great excitement. and the court
room was thronged during the trial. "Doc" is
q brother of Charles L. Pray, who murdered his
wife and committed suicide here a short time
ago. Charles J.. Pray, with the assistance OF
his brother and two colored men from La
fayette, carried his wife from house of i'll
fame in this city to Athica. II was for this
that Doc was charged with kidnapping.
Public opinion seems to be with the accused,
as the evidence of the state is of very ques-
tionable character, and the disagreement of the
jury is interpreted as a victory for the defense.
