JURY STILL OUT IN
JERRY /. SMITHS CASE
Had Not Agreed On Verdict At 4
O'clock.
TRIED ON FORGERY CHARGE
Annapolis Attorney Alleged To Have
FraudulentlY Placed Name
To Indemnity Bond.

After deliberating for more than
an hour. a jury in the Circuit Court
today had not been able to agree
in the case of Jerry L. Smith. an An
napolis attorney, on the charge OF for
gerry. Trial OF the case Occupied the
whole of today's session of Court.
Conviction OF forgery is imprison-
ment in the Penitentiary.
Smith was indicted by the grand
jury about week ago The forgery
charge was based upon his alleged
fraudulently subscribing the name OF
James II. CrandelI, Jr, 60 an indem-
nifty bond
The bond was in the sum of $500,
and drawn as alleged security of
debt of Hamilton Crandell, brother
of James Crandell
The transaction was in connection
with the saloon business at the cor
ner of State Circle and East street,
of which James Crandell was. for a
short time, the proprietor
tNUbeIl MOSS was CoNilSei lot
Smith. and he made a rather impas-
sionate address to the jury. asking for
the acqutal of the accused man. The
weight of his remarks descended
upon the alleged irresponsibility OF
Mr. Smith at the time the act is al
legged to have been committed. II be-
ing claimed that Smith had been
drinking heavily and knew not what
he was doing.
States Attorney Green, however.
broke down this part Of the argu-
ment when he said there was but one
witness offered by the defense who
testified of the accused mans drink
ing and his mental irresponsibility.
