HUNG JURY in SIGHT
No Verdict After Twelve Hours in
Trial of Accused Doctor.

San Diego. April 11.-Prospects OF
disagreement in the case of DIR.
Louis L. Jacobs. charged with the
murder of FRITZ Mann, dancer. were
surveyed here today by both prOsecu-
ton and defense before the opening of
Judge Marsh's court at Q a. NJ.
The fact that the jurors had been
unable TO reach a verdict before they
were locked p last night, nearly
twelve hours after they had retired
for elaboration, led those attending the
trial TO believe that the eleven men
and a woman. who was chosen to head
the jury. might be unable to come to
a decision today.
1t was reported that DIR. Jacobs had
continued in his calm demeanor, which
has been a feature of the trial.
His attorneys. however. expressed
little hope for verdict, saying that
the inability of the jurors to agree in
twelve hours pointed to a final dis
agreement.
