THE HOOKS TRIAL. ENDS
JURY IS DISCHARGED BY JUDGE
 COOPER.
Understood That It Stood 6 for the Acquittal and 6 for the Con- viction of the Wealthy
 Memphis Widow.

Memphis. Tenn. June 20.-The jury charged with poisoning her husband, Cerro Gordo Hooks. was today discharg- ed by Judge Cooper of the Criminal Court. after deadlock of several days.
 The case. which has been on trial for nearly a month. has attracted wide att tions. Cerro Gordo Hooks, d we'll known business man, died last october. After the body had been embalmed and inter- red persistent rumors gained currency that his death was from other than natural causes.
 About two weeks after Hookss burial the authorities instructed pr. William Krause, a well known chemist, to exhume the body and conduct an autopsy. The chemist reported that ht had found enough arsenic and ground glass in the stomach and other organs to cause death.
 Mrs. Hooks, wsso is a wealthy resident of this city. was indicted for murder by ;he grand jury. and she was placed under arrest. The trial was called nearly month ago and. the cause has been vigorously contested by both sides.
 Dr. Krause, while on the witness stand, swore that he had also exhumed the body of the defendants son. who died about two years ago. and that arsenic and ground glass was also found in the stomach This testimony caused a sen- sation, ana its admission to the jury was stubbornly fought by counsel for the de- fense, but Judge Cooper ruled that the evidence was competent and 1t was ad- mitted.
 It is reliably reported that the jury stood six for acquittal and six for con viction.
 Mrs. Hooks Is widely known in this part of the State and lives in one of the most palatial residences in Memphis.
 A peculiar incident of the trial Is that pr. krause is now very low in hospital suffering from pernicious malarfal fever. said to have been contracted while per- forming the autopsy on the remains of Mrs. Hooks's son.
