MISTRlAL IN
 BFLk MURDER CASE
Eight of Jury For Acquittal Four For Conviction-Case
 Goes Over.
Special to Independent.

opecIaI to lnQepen0ent. ss Walnut Ridge, March 1Os-At 10 o'clock last night, JudgeG Gun ningham discharged the july in the Belk murder trial, the mem bers having reported that the jury twas hopelessly divided. Eight favored acquittal and the other four held out for the con- viction of the young woman who unattended by a single female friend or relative awaited for ten hours in the court room the verdict of the jury which had her fate in its hands.
 The case has has been contin- ued until the October term of court and it is doubtful if anoth- CT trial will ever be had, as a conviction seems almost impossi- ble.
 First Case in County.
 The case has been contin- of a white woman being prose cuted on a charge of murder in this county. The killing occur red in November, 1909, and at that time there was considerable feeling. When the trial began Monday afternoon, however,, few were attracted to the court room by either interest or curiosity. It was only when the speeches were begun yesterday that an unusual crowd attended.
 The plea of Miss Belk was that of self-defense. While she fstab- bed her victim to death one night about 7:30 o'clock, she claims that an attack was made on her before she used her own weapon. It was in evidence that the de- fendant bought a knife from a store near the scene of the trag- edy only a short time before the killing. It was also shown that its was with this knife that the killing was done.
 Knife Was Found.
 After the tragedy, the same night, a knife was found that was identified as the property of Miss Owens. The knife was introduc- led in evidence }and Miss Belk swore that MissO Owens attempted to ase the knife on her before theHtragedy and that each lad sent threatening messages to the other. Miss Owens was stabbed in three or four places and died in about 15 minutes after being taken to her home and before she had made any statement abdut the difficulty.

He sui fored 2 chill last Friday and his illness from the start was regard d asS{serious, but family and friends hardly recognized the ap- nroaching end. A Arrangements were at once made for the remov- a1 of the remains to Augusta for burial Saturday morning at II o'clock in the cemetery of that lefty.
 Judge Lippmann was a member |of Jackson Lodge F. 6 A. M., also prominent in Hoo Hoo cir cles and on the rolls of the Wood. linen of the World. He was about 60 years of age and leaves wife, lone son Allie Lippmann, now postmaster of Augusta and two

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April A.
An. important peace conference, the

OF the Mexican reyolutionists, was
held in Washington on Sunday, March

matter OF much secrecy. was obtained.
tonight by the Associated Press.

can ambassador to the United States.
II was learned, conferred with DR..

Just few hours before Senior De La
Barra left for Mexico City to take up
his duties OF minister OF foreign affairs
in the cabinet OF President Diaz.
The two men met at the residence
OF the ambassador and talked an hour.
thoroughly discussing the situation in
Mexico.
Madero Uninformed.
DIR. Gomez has been handicapped
since then in being unable to commu-
nicate with Francisco ]. Madero. his
chief. and the latter. therefore. is as
yet unacquainted with the details OF
tnat conference.
Through a mutual friend tonight.
therefore. a request was sent to Mexi-
co City that in order that peace ne
gotations may be initiated, permis-
sion be granted for the transmission
OF certain dispatches relative to peace

from DIR. Gomez. IL is believed that
| the cordial meeting Of Dr. Gomez and
Senor De La Barra before the lat

may lead TO the speedy settlement of
the Mexican troubles.
DR.. Gomez urged that II peace ne
gouations were begun they be formal
and be held in Washington, so that
the proceedings might be published
widely. the world bearing witness to
the promises OF the Mexican govern
ment. Senor De La Barra declared
the government never would consent
to such negotiations, because IL would
amount to recognition OF the belliger-
ency of the insurrection, injuring the
prestige and financial credit Of Mexi-
co abroad, which already had suffered.
Both men deplored the IN effects of
the revilution.
