No Verdict Reached in Grave
 RObbing Case
WOMEN TALKED TOO MUCH
We're Permitted to See Their Illus bands During Trial and Told Tales That Caused Personal Feeling
 to Interfere With Work.

Indianapolis, February 15.-After being out forty-eight hours the jury In the case of pr. J. c. Alexander failed to reach an agreement and was discharged at 10 o'clock this morning. On the first ballot the vote stood s for acqulttal and for conviction. The attorneys for the state have not decided what they will do. There were several serious alterations during the consideration of the evidence in the jury room which came very nearly resulting in blows. The principal dis agreement was between Jurors James b. White and Robert E. Lingenfelter, and the cause of the personal feeling in the matter was a result of the wives of the Jurors being permitted to visit them on Sunday, February B. On that day Bailif Mendenhall permitted Mesdames White, Brown. Dawes. Theising and Lingenfelter to visit their husbands and talk to them in the presence of the bailifr.
 During the course of the trial MT. White acted as spokesman for the Jury when 1t was necessary to communicate with the court. Mrs. White and Mrs. Lingenfeiter had conversed concerning the trial before they saw their husbands, and when they went to visit the jurors Mrs Lingenfel- ter, 1t is claimed, told her husband that Mrs. White had told her that MT. White would be foreman of the Jury and that | he had been a warm personal friend of Prosecutor Ruckelshaus.
 After the Jury resumed deliberation of the case Mir. Lingenfelter accused MT White of having come into the case with his mind prejudiced against the defen- dant, and told of the conversation with his wife Hot words ensued and the mat ter almost resulted in blows before the In : reference of others stopped It. Later in the day Mir. White engaged in a heated argument with Jurors Brown and Thei- sing. who were In favor or acquittal, and was attacked with heart failure.
 The perplexing question in the minds of the Jurors, they say, was whether Dr. Alexander had guilty knowledge of the fact that the body of Rose Neidlinger had been unlawfully taken from the gi Nc.
