So pitiable was the recital,
that the aged woman, fighting for
her daughter, Alma. being tried
for her life for the killing of her
lover, Joe Armes, that the Judge
had to order a recess to allow the
witness and the court officials to
recover their equanimity.
Mrs. Bell, after passing brave
ly through the first part of hel
story. broke down and wept con-
vulsively.
She told a heart-rending story
of her life on the farm, where IL
was drudgery and sorrow all day
and fear and worry all night.
The mother, recovering again,
told of her terrible anxiety during
the days just previous to Alma's
birth over the conduct of her
husband, and gave strong support
to the defense theory that the
girl had been enurctic from birth.
The aged woman related how
Alma Bell, her tenth child. had
come to her on the Friday before
the killing of Joe Armes.
She said Alma was sick and
nervous and depressed.

in all. the first three showing that
the men stood s for acquittal aud
4 for conviction. In the fourth
ballot, taken about 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, they changed to

to the end.
Brought Into Court.
At 10 o'clock this morning the
men knocked on the door and
were brought into the court room.
The foreman, ID. A. Whitman, an
nounced that they had been I'M
able to agree and several other
jurors also voiced that opinion.
Forgot the Defendant.
Just as Judge yesterday began
to order their discharge, Prosecut-
ing Attorney McMurray jumped to
his feet and said that the defend
ant was not present. The jury
was ordered to retire and the
woman, pale, haggard and stag
gering was brought in by a deputy
sheriff. The jury again made its
report and was discharged from
further service.
Spent Restless Night.
Mrs. Kvalshaug exhibited no
signs sas to her feelings, but her
face showed evidence of a terri
BILE night. According to the
jailer she did note retire until 2
o'clock this morning, but lay on
her couch silently, patiently
awaiting returns from the twelve
men who were weighing the tes-
timony to determine what was to
be her fate. That the woman ex-
pected a verdict for acquittal was
evident from a remark made t.
the deputy sheriff as she was be-
ing taken to court this morning
to learn the verdict.
