JURY HAS
DISAGREED
NEW YORK, Dec 23.-The jury in the Nan Patterson
case disagreed this morning and discharged.

At 1870 o'clock the jury was
brought into court an dit was an
nounced that the jurors had not as
yet agreed.
Before the jury retired again Fore
man Harmer addressed the court as
follows:
THE possibility of reaching an
agreement is absolutely nil. We have
gone all over the evidence upon every
possible point and have argued this
thoroughly but some members of the
jury are absolutely not open to con-
viction or argument. The possibility
of reaching a verdict is remote in-
deed"
The prisoner collapsed completely
when the disagreement was an
ounced and sobbed convulsively on
her fathers shoulder.
While no announcement has yet
been made IT is expected the young
actress will have to undergo a third
trial.
Foreman Harmer said that only
one ballot was taken last night. The
jury stood six for conviction and six
for acquittal. The discussion was
as to the degree of homicide.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-12-23

After the foreman announced the
jpry could not agree Justice Davis
said:
Il feel that you have given the case
all the consideration possible and
that it will be useless to detain you
longer. 1t is to be regretted that
you are unable to reconcile your
minds to the evidence. l thank you
for your patient attention. You are
discharged"
The Judge then instructed the clerk
to have the prisoner remanded with
out bail at once. AS the girl arose
to be led away the deputy warden
seized her by the arm to prevent her
falling to the floor.
Nan Patterson was brought over
to the prisoners pen where she greet
ed her waiting father with a kiss.
Have no fear, my girl" he said
to her tenderly, God is with u.s."
Knots of people stood about the
building this morning awaiting the
verdict. Others watched the Bridge
of Sighs' to catch a glimpse of the
black gowned actress as she passed
on the way from the tomb to the
court building.

good salary. She was we'll dressed
and seemed happy. The father had
the greatest confidence in her word
and made no inquiries as to her posi-
tion.
The girl when her guilt was dis
covered admitted Woody had an in
fluence over her that she was unable
to shake off. She obeyed him in
every instance.
Woodley, with fiendish cunning,
lived off the earnings of the Smith
girl. She followed his instructions
and he laid the plans to carry out her
shameful practices.
The girl was dressed in a fashion
that would most appeal to men of
the street. Woodley advised her to
go to certain places. He coached her
how to use her charms to secure the
best results financially. She brought
the earnings to him.
Woodley secured divorce a week
ago from his wife. presumably to
marry the girl. Before this could be
he was forced to leave. He could not
wed as the law provides that n Sec
ond marriage shall not be contracted
until the expiration of six months.
Woodley forgot the vows made to
his wife In 1887. An innocent girl
was dragged into the mire then. An
other now in the Smith igrl
Woodley's work has wrecked an en-
tire family. The father is irrespon-
sible in his grief and it is feared his
mind will give way.
Yesterday Smith visited a home
where a little baby girl was playing
upon the floor at his feet. The grief
stricken man took the child In his
arms tenderly and kissed the little
face while tears trickled down his
weather-beaten face and sobs shook
his frame. He told the mother of
the babe that only few short years
ago little Mona was an innocent child
like the one he had in his arms.
II can't believe she Is ruined" said
the man. II can't stand it. 1t will
kill me-"
Smith has family of 10 children,
but Mona was the favorite.
