tinued:

fhese charges against the. court
so that he might, as any man
might. become angry at their BIT
ting insults and let fall some re-
mark that they might twist and
turn until they made it appear
that the court was preiudiced."
Denying that he was EMPLOYED
by Spreckels, Heney declared that
these charges had been already
disproved and his appointment as
assistant district attorney was
made at the request of William
Randolph Hearst and other dis
interested parties.
Deliberated "a Hours.
After trial lasting more than
i've months, the Calhoun case
ended In disagreement of the
jury at noon yesterday. The jur-
ors had consumed period of "a
hours In fruitless deliberatron.
Ten we're for the acquittar of
the defendant, while two stood
out for conviction. After hearing
that there was no hope OF an
agreement of the Jurors, Judge
Lawior dismissed them. the
prospect for verdict was pro-
nounced as absolutely hopeless.
But five Ballots were taken
Upon the first the Jury stood
eight for acquittal and four for
conviction. Two of the four Join
ed the eight on the second ballot.
and after that 1t was impossible
to break the deadlock.
The trial will stand for many
years as a record in the history
OF criminal cases in the west.

resulted seriously. AS it was Mr.. Mel

eral bruises and badly skinned nose.
The horses started down Cottonwood
street toward the river, but when
near the corner of Alta, they collided
with a telephone pole. Here the
horses parted company with the hack
and continued on down the street to
the theatre where they were stopped.
After losing the hack. they did not
seem to be in such a hurry and We're
easily caught.
When the hack struck the tele-

out onto his head. The hack and
harness were both broken up, but not
so bad but that the damake was re-
paired in a few hours.

EXAMINING PRISONER
FOR INSANITY

D. B. Leyde. the man who stole
horse, buggy and harness from three
different residents of Pilot Rock, is
being examined as to his sanity this
afternoon. With a term in the peni-
tentiary confronting him, Leyde's
brother-in-law. George Mansfield, the
Pilot Rock saloonman. filed the in.
sanity complaint against his relative.
DR., Cole, county physician, began the
investigation as to the mans sanity
shortly after o'clock.
Leyde is said to be addicted to the
use of chloroform and in addition to
his queer stunt of stealing a harness
from one man. horse from another
and a buggy from a third, when ht
might have taken all three from one
individual with much less trouble to
himself, he is said to have acted
queerly since his arrest. His fellow
prisoners in the county jail call him
