OLSON JURY SPLITS
COULD NOT AGREE AFTER HOURS
OF DELIBERA-
TION
STOOD 8 TO 4 FOR PLAINTIFF
Court Gave Additional Instruction
on Perjured Evidence, but DE-
vergent Opinions Could
Not he RecOnciled.

Having in the course of twentyfour
hours failed to reach any state of senti-
ment that would indicate likelihood of an
agreement, the jury in the new celebrated
damage suit of Nels Olson against the
500" road, was discharged by Judge
Brill at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
When the jury retired at o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon the first ballot of
its members which was taken showed
eight votes in favor of a verdict for the
plaintiff and four in favor of verdict
for the defendant. And when the last
ballot was taken yesterday afternoon
just before 5 o'clock the result was just
the same-eight for the plaintiff and four
for the defendant. Throughout the entire
twenty-four hours there was no material
change at any time in the sentiment Of
the jury, the only deviation from the
vote of eight to four being in one ballot
OF yesterday, which showed a result of
nine to three in favor of the plaintiff.
The jury first went before the court
at noon yesterday to report its inability.
to agree. Judge Brill then said that he
cid not propose to coerce the members
into an agreement, but it was highly de-
sirable that a result should be reached.
No man of the numbet woul1 be expect
ed to abandon conscientious convictions
but there should be all reasonable effort
made to reconcile varying views.
The court by request gave additional
instruction as to testimony believed to be
perjured and the meaning of the term
preporderance of evidence. He said that
no weight should be given to testimony
which the jury was convinced WAS per-
jured.
When the jury returned to the court
room at o'clock the foreman said that
there was no possibility OF an agreement,
and that there had from the first been
no material change in the state of feel
ing among the members of the jury.

the intervention of the United States in

the ground that we have taken only our
share of the burden of the civilization in
bringing out an uncivilized people,

doing in the Philippines is best for the
Filipinos and for the people Of the Unit
