Case For Over IL Hours;
How The Jury Stood

After deiiberatino In the case OF
Oh,s vs.. Thomas J. PortertieId, on
trial for assault with intent to kill,
from 10 o'clock Friday morning until
11;30 Friday night, the jurors report
cd 10 Judge Blair In the Knox county
common pleas court that they had
failed to reach an agreement. The
jurots were Immediately dismissed
tnths case.
The end came at 1880 p. m.
Throughout the afternoon and even
ing the jury had discussed and bal
loted in the jury room without result.
Ats1O:1O o'clock Judge Blair summon
edTthe Jurors and made inquiry of
them II they had agreed upon YER
diet or, II not, there was any possi-
biiity OF expectation Of an agreement.
Several members of the jury inform
ed the court they had not agreed
and, in their opinion, there was no
possible hope for an agreement upon
verdict.
Reluctant to accept this report as
final,, Judge Blair addressing the jur-
Ors directed them to return to the ju-
rys room and there seek further to
arrive at a verdict. While disclaim-
ing purpose to force or to influ-
ence verdict Judge Blair laid stress
upnn the Importance of finding ver-
dict. He strongly urged them to lay
aside what feeling or prejudice, If
any, had been excited among them as
q result of their discussions and d.
visions and, acting in the exercise of
their best judgment, seek to arrive at
a verdict. They were directed to
take one or more ballots before again
reporting to the court.
The Jury retired and at 11:20 p. m.
came in for the last time. Again a
report of an inability to agree was
made to the court. Judge Blair thank
ed the members of the jury and after
brief discussion of the Importance
and influence of the courts and our
judicial system dismissed the jury
from further service.
It is understood that the jury in
its final balloting stood 10 to 2 for
conviction. At the beginning and
for "a considerable time thereafter the
bAltuting stood to for conviction.
Subsequently three jurors changed
their position and the ballot stood 10
to for conviction. These two held
out to the last refusing to submit
their convictions and judgment to the
domination of the majority.
The ending of the trial was wit
messed by a number of attorneys,
court officials and considerable mum.
