Is DISCHARGED.
CHANCE OF VENUE IS ORDERED
TRIAL TRANSFERRED TO CYNTHi.
ANA AND PRISONERS TAKEN
TO LEXINGTON.

Jackson, KY, June 20-The jury in
the Iett-White case reported to Judge
Redwine at a. M that it was impos-
sible to agree upon verdict and were
discharged
At 8 o'clock the jury filed into the
courtroom and Foreman Richard Mil
lard said: Your honor, we find there
Is no chance of coming to an agree
ment"
Judge Redwine said: Il will have
to keep you gentlemen together until
Saturday night unless you get yer.
dict sooner. There is no reason why
a verdict should not be reached in this
case"
Juror Millard said: "One man has
as much right to his opinion as an
other. and may stick to it,
1t was believed from this that there
was only one man between the verdict
OF guilty or not guilty, and it was
conceded that only one juror was then
for conviction, and it was said that
the question Of punishment had not
been considered at all.
Later the jury again reported it was
unable to agree and shortly after 8
o'clock it was discharged, SO that
there will be another trial The DOM
inant faction evidently expected ac-
quittal, but there was evidently at
least one juror who would not SO re-
port.
Result Calmly Received
The scene after the announcement
was in nowise exciting. Some started
to clap hands, but were stopped by the
court. The guards took immediate
possession of the prisoners and they
were closely guarded back to jail.
People gathered around the court
house in knots discussing the case.
but there was no disturbance nor out
ward sign of trouble.
Attorney Byrd, after a consultation,
made motion for a change of venue.
Judge Redwine refused to hear argu
ments, but of his own accord changed
the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison
county, at the next term Of court.

Army in Conspiracy.


The chief conspirators, $50 in num-
ber. were all men of high rank. who
acted in concert with the army. The
participation of the latter in the as
sassination. which blotted out the OBJ
renovitch dynasty, which has ruled
Servia with short intermission. OF
nearly a century, is mainly due to the
attitude of King Alexander and his
consort towards the officers OF the
army. whom he always treated with
scant courtesy. HIS desire to remove
the war school from Belgrade to She
batz particularly gave the officers Of
fense.
Dissatisfaction against King Alex
ander's rule has been actuated since
his suspension Of the constitution last
April. and 1t is from that time that
the military plot dates. The organi-
zation of the bloody plot was carried
out with consummate skill.
Prime Movers.
The prime movers In the plot were
Ljubomir Schiokovics and Jislav Veil
kovics, who have entered the new
cabinet AZ ministers OF justice and
finance respectively. NJ. Schiokovics
was condemned to twenty years penal
servitude for an attempt to assassin
ate former King Milan.
The plot was carried out by the
principal officers OF the army, among
whom was Col. Maschin. whose broth.
er was Dragas first husband. and
Col. Naumovitch, the kings adjutant.
Details OF Scheme.
The troops were held ready In the
barracks. All leave was stopped and
detachments were told OF to surround
the houses Of the various ministers.
The Sixth regiment OF the line, Col.
Maschin's command, was ordered to
surround the palace, and other troops
were instructed to prepare to put
down any outbreak on the part OF
the kings partisans.
At 2 o'clock in the morning the
perpetrators Of the tragedy appeared

termined to seek the king in his bed
