Los Angeles, March 9.--rhe jury in
the second trial of Clarence s. Oar
row, accused of jury briber; in the
Mcnamara cases, reported yesterday
that it had been unable to agree and
was discharged by Judge Conley. The
jury had been out since Thursday
evening.
Twelve ballots were taken and the
jurors. That was early in the ballot
ing and, in short time. two were won
over by those who desired conviction.
Eight to four was the nearest the jury
ever came to a decision. The last bal
lot stood to L.
Darrow's counsel Immediately an
nounced that he would ask for a re-
trial, barrow asked that the time
for the setting of new trial he fixed
n week from tomorrow.
Deputy District Attorney Ford was
reminded by the court that he ha !
said in his closing argument that he
would not try the case again. Did
this mean that the Indictment against
barrow would be dismissed?'
Ford replied that he referred only
to his own personal attitude and had
10 authority to speak for District At
torncy Fredericks. Judge Conley
then announced that If the prosecu-
ton decided to dismiss the indictment
| it could do so between now and the
next time of the calling of the case,

cause of testimony he gave at the trial
He referred to Darrow's admission that
he had paid money to Guy Biddlnger a
