JURY STILL OUT
ON MURDER CASE
Man Who Was Shot to Death Car
ried 100000 in Life In
surance.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. !
BALDWIN, Mich, Dec. THE fate
of Oscar M. Auerbach, accused slay-
er Of Harry M. Fisher OF Chicago,
still hangs in the balance. The jury
had not returned verdict at mid
night and the indications point to a
disagreement of the talesmen The
case was placed in the hands of the
jurymen at 3 p. IN.
The defense rested Friday, after
examining a number of Auerbach' S
companions who testified as to the
character of the defendant Attorney
Smurthwaite for the accused man,
made a motion just before adjourn
ment to have the testimony regarding
the insurance policies on Fishers life,
amounted to 100000. stricken from
the records. He said that no evil
dence had been introduced by the
prosecution wherein 1t had been
shown that it was for the purpose of
obtaining insurance that Fisher was
shot.
Judge Whitley refused to grant the
motion.
Bankers and insurance men testi-
fed that Fisher had borrowed $4,000
on his 100000 life insurance policies
and that this amount stood against
them now.
At the conclusion of the testimony
the jury went to Big Star Lake, the
scene of the shooting and examined
the ground
