Jury Stood Nine for Con-
viction, Three for Ac-
quittaI After Day and
Two Nights.

IN George ..DAMs.

Unable to agree on a verdict after
. two nights and day in the jury
room, the jury which heard the evil
dence in the case of George Davis
was discharged by District Judge
, Redick yesterday morning.
The jury stood nine for conviction
and three for acquittal and did not
! change throughout the long delib-
Grafton, according to one of the ju-
rors.
Il heard that the jury stood 9 to 5
. for conviction" said Eugene O'Sul-
livan, one of the attorneys for Davis.
81 also heard they were J to S for
conviction when they took their first
ballot.
Believes Davis Innocent.
I'VE are ready to go to trial again.
! l believe Davis is absolutely inno-
cent and that Mayor Smith made a
mistake in his Identification"
Davis was charged with assault
with intent to murder and assault
. with intent to do great bodily in
jury to Mayor Smith the night of
the court house riot.
When Judge Redick had the IL
men brought in to the court room
. yesterday morning he inquired:
rs there any possibility that you
may agree il you are sent back to
the Jury room?"
1--WE might change one vote of
the three who are for acquittal, but
we couldn't change the other two"
the foreman replied.
County Attorney Shotwell imme-
diately had the case set down for
second trial on December %.
George Davis lives at 1912 North
! Twenty-eighth street, is whole
sale and retail peddler of fruits and
vegetables, 50 years old, six feet tall
and weighs 2l5 pounds.
Identified By Mayor.
He was identified with the great
est certainty by Mayor Smith. who,
however. made his first identified
ton from an old photograph of
Davis which bears little resemblance
to him.
John OVERLY also testified that he
saw Davis strike the mayor. Over
hay had known Davis before the
night of the riot. Russell Norgard
testified that he saw Davis in the
mob just before the attack on the
mayor.
Davis defense was an abb. Six
persons testified that he was at his
home from Bis in the evening Of
Sunday, September %, the night Of
the riot, until he left for work the
next morning.
/. Says He Went Home.
Davis himself admitted he was at
the court house about 3 o'clock that
Sunday afternoon. He said he went
from there to a near-beer saloon at
Sixteenth and Davenport, where he
played cards and drank whisky I'M
til about 7:30 that evening and then
shortly after that time he went home
in taxicab.
The trial started last Monday
morning, nearly all day being con-
sumed in securing a jury. Taking
of evidence then continued until
Thursday noon. That afternoon was
consumed in argument and the jury
took the case at o'clock Thursday.
Davis is out of Jail under $4,000
