Hans Schmidt, who has been on trial
for the murder OF Anna Aumuller. after
collaborating for moro than thirty-two
hours. was discharged by Judge Eos
aEter at 1907 o'clock Tonight. after Law
renee ottinger. the foreman, had in
formed the court that the twelve were
unable To agree upon verdict.
S When the jury was discharged, the
members stood ten for conviction of
murder in the first degree. and two for
acquittal on the grounds of insanity.
Calling each other .boobs" and
persons unfit mentally. temper
mentally and morally to sit upon
this jury" the twelve parted in
tho spacious corridor Of the Grim
tnal Courts Building enemies. after
creating one of the most extraordinary
scenes ever witnessed In the famous
building.
5r Their hair dlshevelled, anger glaring
from their eyes, and sullen, they took
their seats precisely at 10 o'clock. Fore
man Ottinger addressed Judge Foster
as follows:
your Honor, there is no possible
chance of our coming to an agreement.
We stand the same upon our last bal
lot as we did our first. Ten OF the
members OF this jury feel firmly con-
WINGED that we have two cher mem
bers who are absolutely mentally. tenn
peramentally and morally unfit to
serve as 1urymen."
Judge Foster then said az long as
thore was no hope of their coming TO
an agreement he would discharge
them.
The two men who stood out agains,
conviction were John Grivith and VIII
, liam A. McAuliffe.
Shivering with rage. McAuliffe hur-
ried out of the courtroom, In answer
to question as To whether II is not
true that the ten feared that Schmidt
might one day be released If he was
committed to Matteawan. McAuliffe
replied holly:
yes that is the position those other
'boobs' took. Grivith and felt firmly
convinced from the start that Schmidt
s was insane when he committed tho
crime, and no argument could change
our opinion.
II stood out because I believed this
man was insane" said Grivith.
All of the jurymen approached were

ject OF religion was ever broached dur
