JURY FAILS
To AGREE IN
BUSCH CASE
AFTER TWELVE HOURS DELHI
GRAFTON THE JURY STOOD 8
FOR ACCUlTTAL, a FOR CON-
VIcTIoN. JUDGE CLOSES TERM.

Yesterday afternoon district Judge
Freeman scathingly arraigned the
jury in the case of the State VS.. W. Il.
Busch who was charged with a stat
utory Offense, discharged the entire
panel and continued the other cases
for the term. The judge was very bit
ter in his remarks, but the general
opinion is in his favor and the public
who heard the trial and evidence are
inclined to believe that he did the
right thing
There were several more cases set
for this short term, but the Judge
thought that if the jury in the Busch
case was unable to convict and hung
up, it would be useless for the same
jurors to sit on any of the other cases.
The jury it is reported, stood eight
for acquittal and four for conviction.
This case attracted considerable no
tice from the prominence of the par
ties involved and was watched with
keen interest by all who attended the
trial. 1t was commonly believed that
Busch would be convicted and every
one was surprised when the jury made
their report.
81 am not surprised in the least"
said county attorney Hardy this morn
ing, you never can tell what a jury
will do or whom a girl will marry,
and therefore | am always prepared
for any eventuality. The case is not
finished by any means and trouble
has only started for Mr.. Busch The
Texas authorities and Uncle Sam have
a crack coming at him, and he will
be sure to get a long sentence in the
end"
Continuing further Mr.. Hardy stated
that it was passing strange that IL
good men could sit on jury, hear the
evidence that was introduced in this
case, and then fail to convit but
further stated that it was within the
province Of the jury to do just what
they did in this case. All other cases
set for the term were continued and
will be tried at the October term.
Busch will be given an opportunity
of making bond and if he is able to
furnish it, will be released pending
retrial. The jury was celebrating
nearly twelve hours on this case be-
fore submitting their report to the
court.
