Cling for ninety hours with the question of
Truman Beams guilt or innocence, twelve
haggard and unkempt jurors filed into the
Lake Superior Court room before Judge
Tuthill this morning and asked for further
instructions. These were read to them by
Judge Tuthill and the jury retired again to
deliberate. They returned some time after
and advised the court that they could not
agree and were thereupon discharged.
Eleven jurors stood for conviction on the
first charge in the indictment, murder in
the first degree. and one for acquittal. He
was George Elder, the ex-county clerk of
the Lake Circuit and Superior Courts, fore
man. Application for new trial was made,
and Truman Beam, who, 1t is alleged,
strangled his sweetheart, Martha Law
renee, last spring while she was in bed, will

DELAYED IN OPENING COURT.
Swollen Streams Prevented Jurors Ar
irving at County Seat on Time.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE Brown
County Circuit Court, which was to have
commenced yesterday morning, was post
poned until this morning on account or the
heavy rains Sunday night and all day Mon
day. The streams of Brown county, being
narrow and deep, rise quickly, and little
rain is needed to put them past fording.
Judge Buckingham, of Franklin, started
from Columbus 10 Nashville Monday morn
ing and did not arrive here until noon, rid
ing the entire distance of twenty miles in a
downpour Of rain. Several members of the
petit jury were unable to reach the county
seat on account of the swollen streams.
Troubles of all kinds were in the way In
getting down to business In court. In sum-
moning the petit jury the sheriff failed to
find two members, they having moved
away. After travelling all over the county
for one man 1t was learned that he had
been dead several months.
Generally the term OF court here lasts
from ten days to two weeks, but this term
will be the longest the county has ever
had, the docket being heavy one and the
full term of three weeks and probably more
will be required to dispose of the business.
There are thirty criminal cases on the
docket for trial this term, about as many
cases as is generally on the docket for three
terms in Brown county.
