Mayfield, Ky, Dec. 5---Unable to
agree, the jury which heard evil
dence in the case of Miss May Cope
land and Lucian Turk. charge with
the murder of Hugh Atehison neas
Bardwell. KY, July "a. was finally
discharged at noon today by Judge
r. J. Bugg.
The jury stood nine for acquittai
and three for conviction on the
last ballot. according to a report
which was received from an auth
entic source Immediately following
the jury's discharge. 1t was stated
also that there was no change in the
vote from the first ballot.
Joe Ben Wilson, one of the jury.
who was taken III suddenly Thurs
day afternoon, was In his room ct
the Hotel Mason when Judge Bugg
and Sheriff Wallace arrived with
the two defendants.
Their dismissal after practically
forty-eight hours consideration OF
the case, apparently was a relief to
the jurors.
Bal Il Question.
Whether the fact that the jury
disagreed will entltlo Miss Cope
land and Turk to bail is yet un-
known. AT least Judge Bugg has
made no 'intimation OF aueh na@
ture. However, It Is generally be-
lleved that Turks attorneys will
apply for bail.
Until some arrangements for
bond are agreed upon after the ar
rival of Commemorative Attorney
Robert l.. Smith, Turk will probably
DO taken to the paducah Jail
while Miss Copeland will remain In
jail here.
The prosecution sought to have
Turk locked up in the Mayfeld Jail
last, night. but this was not deemed
necessary or advisable by Judge
Bugg, who permitted him to return
to Paducah.
Much interest Is centered in tha
second trial Of what has proven 10
be the most sensational murder
case In the history of Western Ken
tucky, The prosecution is reported
to have intimated that it would
make further Investigations before
a second trial, but the defense also
Iwll gather new evidence and ex-
poets to make better case.
Where Will II Be HEIDI
The question which the public is
asking is. eWhere will the second
trial DO held?' II was only with
great difficulty that it was possible
to secure a jury in Graves county.
where both Miss Copeland and Turk
are vel known. The regular panel
Of "a and about half Of a special
yenire of 80 men were almost en-
! tirely exhausted before a jury could
, be secured TO try the case. Even
( then there were several who had
read newspaper accounts of the
murder before taking their seats.
/ IA the event an application Tor
bail is denied by Judge Bugg, a writ
Of habeas corpus will be instituted
and application be relieved for bail,

the jury could not agree on a YER

Resolved to Retain 0.d Charter for
the Benefit of Grain

The Cairo Beard oil Trade voted
unanimously to turn over the
money in its treasury to new or
ganization to be known as the
Cairo ASSOCIATION of Commerce, to
be composed OF the memters of the
Cairo Board of Trade, the Cairo So
tail Mere hants association and the

This and other pertinent matters
were the only subjects discussed at
the regular meeting last night.
Before this resolution was adopt
ed, it was decided to contribute

to meet in this city early next year.
The expenses OF the Board, up TO
the time of the consolidation, also
are to be paid out of the treasury.
This is the most substantial step
that has been taken toward the COM
pletion of the organization of the
new body, which it is hoped will be
in effect by the first Of January.
Many of the members of the Goard

Enthusiastically In favor Of the con-
solidation and that there would be
no delay in its taking effect. as it
would be. for the betterment of

At the last meeting of the Board,
resolution was adopted dissolying
the Cairo Board of Trade, its mem
bers becoming automatically MEM
be"s OF the new organization, with
the provision that this move would
not in any way interfere with the
privileges of the grain members Of
the Board, and a grain COMMITTEES
was appointed to determine whether
or net this would be the case. The
committee last night reported a
resolution to the effect that the
grain members could not enjoy The
accustomed privileges If the charter
of the old organization was dropped,
as any body of men could then OBJ

Cairo Board OF Trade. and assume
the prestige the members of that

many years OF its existence.
1t was decided for this reason to
retain the charter of the Cairo

adopted to refer to committee OF

CRESCENT THEATRE.

George Sidney and his big company
of comedians, dancers and singers are
announced for an appearance at the
Crescent Theatre Sunday night, the
last attraction of the season for the
popular playhouse. Something bright
and snappy in the musical comedy line
possessing the titular handle of Busy
Icy" will serve as the vehicle for this
merry little comedians tour again this
season. While it is in a way along
the line of all Sidney's exhibits of solid
fun, yet the advantage gained in past
successful experience and the ardent
study Of the public demands for genu-
inc humor, devoid of all impurities, has
encouraged an extraordinary effort in
the construction of the new musical
production. 1t is really admitted that
Mr.. Sidney has no equal on the stage
as a delineator of the Hebrew type
His jovial humor is natural without be-
ing offensive or obnoxious to those who
question the advisability of racial
characterization. While it is usually
the policy to surround a star with ordi-
nary support in order to enhance the
capabilities of the stellar attraction,
there is no necessity of such consider
alton with Mr.. Sidney, his work being
so meritorious and superior in his line
that the better the cast and the more
ability engaged, the better he is pleas
ductiOn offers as a whole. This year
the cast embraces some of the leading
artists of musical comedy. The chorus
is an exceptionally pretty one, and de-
cidedly we'll gowned.
