TO TRY STEVE
ADAMS AGAIN
Jury First Stood I to 5 For
Acquittal, Then
Even

WALLACE, Idaho, March s.-The
jury in the trial Of Steve Adams for
the murder of Fred Tyler, after be-
ing in elaboration since II o'clock
Wednesday forenoon, last evening at
7:10 p. m. announced through Fore
man George Ellers that it was impos-
sible to agree upon verdict, ana was
discharged by Judge Woods.
The jury for many hours stood at
seven for conviction and five for ac-
quittal and it was only upon the last
ballot that the jurymen stood evenly
divided, six for conviction and six
for acquittal.
Judge Woods thanked the jury for
their patience and diligence in service
after the foreman had declared posi-
lively that 1t was impossible to reach
verdict and declared them dischar-
ged.
Will Try Case Again.
In the court room were al of the
attorneys for both sides and only a
few spectators. All interested vitality
in the case were present except Mr..
Hawley for the state. This means that
the case Of Steve Adams must be tried
again.
The crime charged against Adams
is the murder Of Fred Tyler, a settler
who disappeared from his timber
claim on Marble creek, about August
10, 1904, and whose body was found
later. His murder remained a mys-
terry till after the assassination of ex-
Governor Steunenberg. Harry Or
chard's graphic confession not only
duplicates Steve Adams and other
federation men in the governors muir
der, but declared that Adams and Jack
Simpkins also killed Tyler because he
had taken UP the timber claim

Simpkins has never been found.
Adams was arrested at Haines, Ore,
February 20, 1906, and taken to Boise,
Idaho, where, it is alleged, he confess

The prosecution declares Adams will
be tried again, but not sooner than the
next term of court, which begins In
October. Attorneys for the defense
openly state their belief that Adams
will never be tried again on the Tyler
charge. They point to the expense to
the county of Shoshone. estimated to
reach $4,000, for this trial alone and
say that the prosecution will, in their
opinion, ultimately announce that the
case is dropped.
