HOURS IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Embezzlement Case Given to Jury,
Which Is Unable to Reach
Decision

After a day filled with argument by
defense and prosecution. the William
II. Carlson embezzlement trial closed
late yesterday and the case was given
to the jury at 8 o'clock.
Carlson, who throughout the trial
has acted as his own attorney. talked
to the jury from 10 O'Clock In the
morning until nearly In the after
noon, contending as the principal rea-
son why he should be acquitted that
the alleged embezzlement was simply
an overdraft and was allowable by
custom. His wife, dressed in deep
mourning on account of the recent
death of a near relative, and his
three sons were in the courtroom all
day and listened intently to Carlson s
argument and the closing address of
Deputy District Attorney Blair, who
has conducted the prosecution.
Judge Davis at IL O'Clock ordered
the jury locked up for the night, the
twelve men up to that hour being
unable to reach an agreement.

ii Is said that he has confessed that he
was one of trio caught by McNaugh-
ton in the act of robbing a hardware
store in Oxnard, and that the officer
was fatally shot while attempting to
make an arrest.

of the party responsible for the death
Of McNaughton. and is said to 'have

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The arrival in the

Australia said to be in tip-top condi-

shadowing the relief of the British

throttled by the American beef trust"
Previous attempts to bring chilled beef
from Australia have failed, the time OF
transportation being so great that the
meat invariably was condemned upon
its receipt. The frozen variety from
that source brings scarcely half the
price paid for American chilled beef.
