IN HIS CASE.
WenzeI Must Stay In Jail Because
of Failure to Secure Bonds
Minneapolis Matters.

The Haugan jury filed into Judge
Elliot's court room last night and re-
ported that they could not agree, and
then were discharged. After the jury
had failed to agree Tuesday night the
opinion was freely expressed that they
would be unable to come to an under
standing. Thus it proved, and Andrew
C. Haugan will be tried again.
After the jury had assembled in the
court room shortly after 9 o'clock last
night they were asked if verdict had
been reached.
replied the foreman.
rs there any prospect of your reach
ing a verdict" inquired the court.
There has been no change from the
first ballot, and there is no prospect of
a change and of a verdict being reach
ed was the answer.
I'm view of these facts, l believe it
will be useless to keep you longer You
are hereby discharged from tbs case.
Gentlemen, l thank you for the atten-
ton you have given to the matter I'M
der your consideration
The defendant was an interested
spectator with his attorney, Henry
Deutch. AS the announcement of the
jury was made the features of the de-
PENDANT betrayed a slight smile of sat
isfactiOn. The jurymen shook hands
with the eX-city treasurer and his at
torney and then dispersed. Mr.. Haugan
took occasion to thank the court for
his unbiased treatment of the case.
The members of the jury were as
tight as clam regarding what tran
spired in the jury room. None of them
would give out any information what
ever, and one member replied that he
dared not give out the standing of the
jury. However, the current report
placed the vote at five for conviction
and seven for acquittal.
The trial of the eX-city treasurer has
been in progress for the past ten days
and has attracted considerable atten-
ton. The case went to the jury Tues
day afternoon. Tuesday night they re-
ported that no conclusion had been ar
rived at, and the night was spent at
the Jail. The court kept the twelve
men out all day yesterday, but it re-
suited in no change in the vote. 1t is
improbabl bic that the jury could have
come together

After the announcement the court dis
charged the jury from further service
