COULD NOT AGREE.
The Criminal Assault Trial Eads in
Hung Jury.

Being unable to agree. the jury in the case OF
the state against George Watkins was discharged
by Judge HumeS about 80 last evening. after
being out for about twenty four hours without
any hope OF agreeing. several conflicting re-
ports ere given as to bow the jury stood. One
report says eight were for aoquistal. two for as
sau1 and two for criminal assault as charged.
Another report says they stood eight for conyic-
ton and four for acqnitIai, and another that
they stood SIX each way.
Watkins was charged with criminsliy assault
ing Maggie A. Courtney New Years
night wbilv escorting her home from a party.
The testimony was conflicting in many i'm
rortant and material points, and the jury
seemed unable To reconcile the discre paneies.
The trial occupied nearly three days. and the
case was zealously contested by counsel on both
sides. Efforts viii probably be made by Wat
klns attorneys 70 have the bail reduced from
t3.e0. such an effort was made shortly after
Watkins arrest and was denied by Judge
Hnmes. bat now tbs. the testimony has been
heard by the court It is hoped by counsel that
the bail will be reduced 10 figures within the
ability OF their client 10 give.
