WOMEN FAIL TO AGREE
ON FIRST JURY CALI.

Inc case or the state or Nevada
VS.. Wayne Stokes, charged with as
sault and battery, which was tried
before Justice H. w. Edwards and
jury composed of ten women and
two men, in the county high school

in a disagreement on the part of the
jury. 1t is said that the jury sood IL
to l at all times, and 1t is further
stated that the two men agreed with
the majority of the ladies. District
Attorney Jurieh prosecuted the case
vigorously, while A. b. Lighfoot, ably
defended Stokes.
Mrs. J. f. Miles was the first wit
ness called. She was followed by
Jack Frost, the complaining witness,
and the state there rested.
Wayne Sokes was called in his own
defense and Mrs. c. M. Moon was
sworn as a witness in his behalf

that the assaultwas the outcome Of an
old grudge, and that both the defend
ant and the complaining witness did
not try to avoid trouble, but on the
other hand seemed more or less will
ing to invite. After considerable de-
liberation the jury returned into
court and reported that it was impos-
sible TO reach an agreement Judge
Edwards thereupon took the matter
out of the hands of the jury and after
delivering a lecture on obedience to
the law, said that he believed both
the parties were more or less to
blame and upon Stokes he imposed a
penalty directing that the defendant
prepare an essay of at least five hun
dred words upon the origin and
growth of the jury system and read
the same at the next meeting of the
Womans club. He then ordered
Jack Frost to stand up. and by way
of punishment for his part in what
the court termed disgraceful per-
formanee to engage in conflict in the
presence of ladies, Judge Edwards
ordered that Frost write a paper of
at least five hundred words on his
idea of course of study that should
be promulgated or inaugurated in
county high schools, and read 1t at
the next meeting of the Woman's
club.
Mrs. B. L. Smithson was excused
from jury duty for having formed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the defendant. and Mrs. Anthony
Jurich was likewise excused by rea-
son of being the wife OF the district
attorney engaged in prosecuting the
case.
The jury was composed OF Mrs ] &.
