in deciding upon the penalty to be

the jury reported to the court that
they could not agree upon a vedrict.
They were sent back to their room
with Instructions to continue their

O'Clock Saturday morning when they

The return of this verdict ended

times in Dallas and in four of these

and two favoring life term in the
penitentiary.
In all the trials eighty-four men
| have declared Oates guilty and
| eighty-two of these sentenced

men-at the time of the mistrial--
insisted upon life sentence. For the
killing of Aronoff, Holly Vann,
white man, was hanged in 1905. 1t is
charged that he'and Oates attacked
the merchant in Dallas for the pur-
pose of highway. robbery. Mrs. Aron-
off, widow of the murdered man, has
taken an active part in the seven
years prosecution of Oates, and mas

negro's attorney, led in the attempt
to secure reversals and always was
able to pick out some flaw in the
court procedure, charge or verdict
Many of the witnesses who have
