that small, high window OF the light

JURY IS DIVIDEO;
 SIX ON EACH SIDE
NO PROSPECT FOR VERDICT IN DECISION OF WHO SHOULD
 GET PRlCHARO MONEY.
Constable Has 1t in Possession, and
 There May Be Long Drawn Out Fight Before Decision is Reached.

A jury in the circuit court stood divided six to six, as to whether the $500 which Constable Landlord took from the hatband or J. 0. Prichard, after his wife died, should go to him, or whether it should pass into the session of the daughters of the de- ceased, who claim a right of heritage in the property.
 There was new phase injected into the case yesterday which prob ably accounts for the jury being un- able to reach a verdict, and that was evidence in effect that the property Mrs, Prichard sold in order to get her values into money mad been the property of the father of the children who were contestants for the money.
 J. O. Prichard the husband, claimed the money by authority of a gift which he said his wife made to him the day before she died. He tes- tfied that she took it from between the mattresses on her bed and told him that was his reward for being faithful to her during their married life.
 After the death of Mrs Prichard one of the daughters had Prichard arrested. and Constable Landlord found the money, $2,300 in the hat band of his hat. The constable took the money and deposited it in the Citizens bank to be held there until the controversy is ended, which now probably may be a very long time.
