JURY ADJOURNED:
REPORTS MONDAY
Was Apparent at Noon Meek
Investigation Could Not
Be Finished.
EXAMINE MORE WITNESSES
THERE Is NOTHING Gut coNJEc-
1URE TO CASE AN OPINION ON
WHAT THE VERDICT SUBMIT.
TED WILL BE.

When 1t became apparent to the
grand jury this noon that IT could not
complete its investigation Of the Meek
murder case in time to report at I
o'clock this afternoon. the jury ad.
iourned until Monday. 1t will then re-
sumo its investigation. The members
OF the Jury who are farmers were
anxious to be At home this afternoon
in order to attend to their accumulat-
ed work before Sunday. The jury's
report had been expected at o'clock
this afternoon. Judge Fox was out Of
the city. but before going left word
he would return to receive the report
and discharge the jury.
Can't Base Opinion.
There is nothing but conjecture on
which to base an opinion as to what
the jury will do It has spent its en-
tire time in examining witnesses and
may or may not return an indictment.
II it be found the stories OF repeated
threats on the part of members Of the
Railsback family against the Meeks
are true, 1t Is likely bill will be re-
turned. There is practically no prob
ability that charge of first degree
homicide will be attempted. II the
stories Of threats are found exager-
ated or untrue. there Is strong like
lihood the jury will not return an in.
dictment. but the evidence will make
the murder justifiable on the ground
It was committed in defense Of habi.
tation.
Prosecutor Ladd and the court re-
porter were at the hospital today to
take the deposition Of Frank Rails
back. Jr.. the young man who was in.
jured by the shot from Raymond
