lO-2FOR CONVICTION
IN ARBUCKLE TRIAL
Jury REPORTS DISAGREEMENT.
THIRD HEARING TO
BE HELD.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-The jury in
the second trial of a manslaughtcr
charge against Roscoe Arbuckle de-
cided after forty-four hours that it
could not agree and was discharged
today, with the final ballot standing
ten for conviction and two for ac-
quittal.
Both prosecution and defense an
nounce that they would favor another
trial. So sure was the defense of
its position in the second trial that
it submitted its case without final ar
gument. This had an effect opposite
from the one intended, according to
Nate Friedman, one of the jurors.
eve thought that when the defense
declined to argue it had thrown up
lis hands," he said. "The first ten
ballots stood nine to three for con-
viction, and thereafter until the four
teenth and final ballot It was ten to
two"
"In spite of my own personal con-
viction it was my intention to be
guided by the opinion of majority
of the jury" District Attorney Brady
said. "Had the majority of the jury
been in favor of an acquittal I would
have asked for a dismissal. AS the
jury stood ten for conviction to two
for acquittal it is manifestly my duty
to try the case again"
Gavin McNab, chief counsel for Ar
buckle, said:
"In this trial on practically all bal
lots the jury stood nine for conviction
and three for acquittal, with the two
alternates for acquittal. Practically
the same evidence was presented to
each jury. The case will be tried
again."

BICHAM'S CASE TO
U.S.SUPREME COURT
ATTORNEYS OF FLORENCE MAN
HAVE ASKED STATE SUPREME
COURT FOR A REHEARING.

Columbia, Feb. 6.-Edmund D. Big
ham, Florence county man, convicted
OF numbering his brother and SEN
fenced to the electric chair, and also
charged with killing his mother, his
sister and his sisters two adopted
children, will, it is understood, appeal
to the United States supreme court
from the decision of the South Caro-
lima supreme court which recently re-
fused his appeal for a new trial. 1t
is not known on what grounds the
new appeal will be made.
An order staying the remittitur in
the recent decision of the supreme
court has been issued by the supreme
court, Bigham asking FOR rehearing
of the case. However, the court has
not as yet announced whether it will
grant a rehearing.
Bigham was sentenced to die but
appealed, making numerous exceptions
t, the proceedings in the circuit
court which convicted him. The su-
preme court recently dismissed the
appeal, and Bigham will be resen-
fenced at the next term of court in
Florence in March, unless his appeal
to the United States supreme court
is allowed.
Bigham is in the death house of the
state penitentiary. His main COM
ment about his case is repetition of
the statement that he is innocent.
He talks very freely about his case.
