KELLEY JURORS
FAIL TO AGREE ri
After Nearly "a Hours De
liberation No Verdict Has
Been Reached.

The jury in the Edward Kelley mur.
der case, after being out nearly "a
hours, had failed to reach an agree
ment late this afternoon, and It was
predicted by those who have followed
the case that the Jury will be discharg-
ed after reporting a disagreement.
This forenoon the jury fled into! the
court room and asked Judge w. S.
Raymond to read the instructions COW
ering reasonable doubt, the foreman
stating that there was, still hope that
an agreement might be reached. State
ments by the Jurors to the court re:
yealed the fact that at least a part OF
the cause Of failure to agree was diff
ferences Of opinion among the Jurors
as to the relative positions of Kelley
and Morgan when the fatal shots were
fired and the distance they were from
the Koon house. s7
After some argument, the. court per-
mitted the jury, in charge OF deputy
sheriffs, to visit the scene OF the trag'
edy for the purpose of clearing up mat
ters in controversy among the jurors
which prevented them from arriving
at an agreement. After being gone for
an hour or more, the jury returned and
was again locked up in the jury room
to continue its deliberations.
Following the noon recess, the case
OF Fred Patton was called. Patton be
ing charged with having struck An
