ter having had the case for 20 hours
and 10 minutes, in the trial Of Turner
r H. Smith, former president of the
First State bank Of Las Cruces, charged
with the embezziement Of s415O of the
funds OF the bank, on July Is, 1915.
The case was given TO the jury at $50
D. NJ Tuesday: the verdict was returned
at 2:40 p. m. Wednesday. The verdict
was a surprise, for having been unable
TO agree for so long a time there was
fear that an agreement could not be
reached.
George n. Daugherty, foreman, noti-
fled judge Colin Neblett at 1890 Tues
day night that they could not agree
Judge Neblett instructed them to go to
bed and begin the consideration OF
the case again I'm the morning This
was done, but with no better result
Foreman DaUgherty reported at II
o'clock Wednesday morning that thew
were unable to agree and asked to be
discharged. Judge Neblett directed
them to continue consideration OF the
case and expressed the hope that they
would be able to reconcile their diff

Dona Ana county. The case was trans
ferred from Dona Ana to Otero for trial
on the defence's motion for a change
OF venue. There remain untried IL
other indictments which also charge
embezzlement. three charging perjury
and six charging Smith with receiving
deposits in an insolvent bank. H. B.
Hamilton, district attorney, said late
yesterday afternoon that he could not
say at this time which case the state
would elect to try next. but that one
Of the other cases would go to trial.
The venue having been changed to
Otero county, any subsequent trials
on the remaining indictments must be
conducted in Alamogordo. There can
be no further change in the venue UNI
til the defence has been able to show
prejudice as a cause for the change.
On the verdict Of acquittal just rem
dered, the defence could not make
much Of a showing Of prejudice. The
other members Of the jury panel were
discharged when the jury for this case
was completed, so that the trial under
any OF the other indictments will have
