The case went to the jury about 9 o'clock Friday morning and late yesterday afternoon they report ed to Judge Greene that they were unable to agree on verdict, whereupon they were discharged and a mistrial entered. This has been one of the most noted cases ever before the Jefferson county criminal court. The crime charged to the defend- ant Roland H. Hudson, was committed during the strike in this district in the summer of 1894, while the state troops were on duty here. Deputy Sheriffs Char ley Cole and Jim Smith had gone to Coal burg to arrest George Hudson, for whom they had warrant. They entered the house of Hudson to effect the arrest of his son and fight ensued, in which Dep uty Sheriff Cole was shot dead and Dep uty Sheriff Smith received a gunshot wound that produced death within few hours. Hudson and his son effected their escape, although they were at one time surrounded by the sheriff's posse and detail of fifty soldiers, who had been or dered to the scene Six or eight months ago Hudson surrendered to Sheriff Nor row and was released on $5000 bond.
