discharged this afternoon at 9 o'clock
after being out sixty-flve hours. The
charge was made about 10 o'clock
Saturday night and the members Of
the jury have been wrestling with the
problem continually since. They re-
ported to the court the impossibility
of an agreement twice before, but
Judge Burr, who had been called in
to preside, was anxious to have the
matter decided and sent the Jurors
back each time for further consid-
Grafton.
There are all kinds OF rumors in
regarding how the jurors
stood. These reports range from ten
to two for acquittal to eight to four
for conviction. It is also stated that
the members of the jury agreed not
to make public how they stood.
The friends o. young Sperry assert
that number of new indictments
have been recalled since the trial
which have created sentiment favor
ing the defendant and that il the case
is brought to trial again there will be
enough new evidence to insure his &C
quittal In short order.
The prosecution, 1t is said, is UNI
decided whether another trial will be
asked for. 1t is stated there Is some
doubt as to further prosecution un-
less 1t is strongly insisted on by the
father and the friends of the dead
boy.
