The Jury in the May election case failed
TO reach . verdict and were discharged
last Monday. After hearing the evidence
and arguments the jury went to the room
and voted 7 to 8 for conviction. This was
the result of every ballot taken during the
IS hours they had the case under consid-
Grafton. Noting, Ritter. Shoppenhorst,
Thorpe, Atterbury, Duebbert and Mackie
voted for conviction, and Canterbury,
Higgins, Smith, Hill and Snowden for
acquittaI. The jury could not agree. 1t
is bosh, 1t is false to say that outside in
tiuences had anything to do with the
failure of the jury to agree. Jameson,
the prosecuting attorney of Jackson
county, says the Jury was bought. This
fellow Jameson showed all through the
cases that he knew about as much about
them as O hog knows about the writings
of Shakespeare. What he says don't have
much weight because he don't weigh
much mentally. The jurymea who voted
for acquittal are above ~reproach, but
Jamison did not know it because he don't
know much. The best speeches were
made by Hon. John 8. Blackwell, John
Welborn and Cowherd. All three OF these
speeches were pronounced by all as excel
lent arguments. Mr.. Ball, for the state,
also made q fine argument. The case will
be tried over at b June term. Judge
Ryland presided with ability and Impair
TALLY. and tAs A1ng Jury was only the
result OF honest disaRreemenk
