Ter, charged with the murder of his broth
er-in-law in Alexandria County, Va, yes
terday afternoon reported that It was un-
able to agree, and Judge Thornton dis
charged the Jurymen. 1t is understood
that seven members Of the jury believed

gree murder.

week past, will be tried again in Oc-
tober. Meanwhile his attorneys will ap-
ply for bail, which application will be
fought by Commonwealth Attorney Gran
dal Mackey.

dermiller was not in court at the time,
but was waiting in Sheriff Palmer's room.

be acquitted, and when informed that the
jury had been deadlocked, she broke
down completely.

Of Engraving and Printing. was charged
with killing John Reeves, his brother-in-
law, at Syphax Station, Va. on June
