DEADLOCKED;; AP.
PEARS TO Be HUNG
One Man Seems Determined In Hang.
Ing Murder Jury at Harlan
Eleven Are For
Acquittal.

At o'clock this afternoon the Jury
in the DR., WINES case at Harlan was
still deadlocked and appeared to be
hopelessly so for II had retained the
stand taken shortly after the case
went to the jury on Monday evening.
Rumor about the Harlan court
house Is to the effect that the Jury is
standing eleven for acquital and one
for conviction. The jury has several
times reported into court but each
time has been sent back to its room
for further deliberation.
Gentlemen" said Judge Davis
when the jury reported late last night
that they could not agree, one man
or two men should not hang the Jury
in case like this | don't ask that
one should violate his conscience, but
a juror should regard the opinions of
the other eleven, should weigh them
as carefully as his own; should give
the others credit for equal intelli-
gence and judgment"
I'VE can not agree, Judge" one
Juror told the court
One man said he might be con-
vinced if he could go over the scene of
the crime The jurors all looked at
one old man, The court refused the
request.
