JURY in TARBEL
CASE DISACREES

When the jury in the Tarbel
case was called in Thursday
morning they announced to the
court that they could not come to
an agreement and had little hope
of doing SO.
Judge Sanner declined to ac-
cept such 4 report at that time
as he maintained that a case
that had taken over a week to
try was entitled to longer time
for consideration by a jury and
that it was the duty of the
jurymen to come to a verdict If
it was possible for them to
do so, paying due regard to their
oaths.
In the afternoon the jury
announced again that it was
impossible for them to agree and
the court reluctantly accepted
this termination for the present
trial of the case, which will un-
doubtly be tried again.
1t is understood the jury stood
10 for acquittal and two for
conviction, but on what degree
of homicide the two who held
out were decided is notknown. -
