Jury In Hess Case Failed To Bring
In Verdict.

In Verdict
The trial OF George Hess, who was
accused Of shooting his father and
mother near Milford, Barton County, a
short time AGO came to close ut l aInar
Friday afternoc n and after being out
several hours the jury failed to agree aud
new trial was set for NovemLer9. The
jury stood 8 for conviction and 3 for
acquittal.
The evidence brought out in the trial
is summed up by tue Lamar Democrat
as follows; George was crazy about the
johnson girl, wanted to marry her. From
the time this state of affairs developed
he began TO get ssore upon his parents
and nourish grievances against them.
lie was the only sou aud heir and his
parents death would have given him
their fam and their snug little bank
account. The day before the shooting
ho bought u thirty-two calibre revolver
the kind with which the shooting was
done, lie lied about this matter until
forced to acknowledge otherwise. The
man who did the shooting found no
trouble III locating the lamp, which sat
upon the stOye-a very uuu ual position
on account of the fact that the ho use
was not yet to rights after piusLeriug.
Tue matches lay upon the stove, very
unusual position, but the assailant knew
just where they were. lie didn't have
To look about Tor u second to find out
just where the old people slept and how
they lay. lie held the little revolver in
both hands, vita his hands up before
his face. When Mr.. Hess got out his
assaiIauI knew about the out buildings,
shingle lie, aud fences. lie got over
them all without difficulty or trouble.
Next morning the wounded mau said he
didn't know who his assilant was but be
said there was something about the face
that looked familiar. During the shoot
ing neither of the old couple saw Geo
rye. lie didn't say anything, Or cry out
or show himself until the sh ooting was
over. 1t was mott robber for not thing
was taken. 1t was not an enemy, fer
he himself sa! 5 he didn't have any.
These are facts that support the de-
Tense: The parents say now that it
wasn't George. The state was So I'M
fortunate as 10 have to place these wit
nesses upon the staod. II is argued
that George didn't have time To catch
his mother, after the shooting, One of
these sets Of facts appeals to some, the
other appeals to others. Saturday morn

George released upon two thousand
