FREEDOM IS GIVEN
COLORADO DOCTOR
JURY FAILS OF AGREEMENT AND
JUDGE ORDERS DR.. BLAZER
BE RELEASED
Prosecution Declares Cost Prohibits
Another Trial; Doubts II Jury To
Convict Could Be Found
Anywhere

Littleton, Colo.-Dr. Harold Elmel
Blazer was cleared of all charges il
connection with the death of his "a
| year-old embicile and crippled daugh
ter, Hazel, on February oath last.
The action came less than an hour
after the jury, trying him on the
charge of numbering the Child wo
man." announced it had not reached
a verdict and was discharged by
Judge Samuel Johnson.
Summoned hastily from his home
Prosecutor Joel E. Stone appeared be-
fore the presiding judge and made a
motion for dismissal of all charges
and the release of DR.. Blazer, who
was taken into custody Immediately
after the jury was discharged.
Littleton, Colo.-The legal status Of
murder committed for love" still re-
mains undetermined in Colorado juris-
prudence.
Hopelessly deadlocked, the jury Sc
lected to try DR.. Harold Elmer Bla-
ger on a charge of numbering his
daughter, Hazel the 34-year-oId Child
woman" was discharged by Judge
Johnson.
II am satisfied" Prosecuting At
torney Joel E. Stone declared
ut is unlikely that shall bring &C.
ton against Blazer again."
1--WE are satisfied" was the declara-
ton of Lewis Mowry, chief of defense
counsel. "At least a division of opin-
ion indicates there were some minds
on the jury who considered that the
cold facts of law should be tempered
with justifiable mercy"
The jurors refused to intimate how
they stood in their balloting when they
filed out of the courtroom following
their discharge.
DR.. Blazer was taken into custody
of Sheriff Roy Haynes to be held I'M
til he furnished bail while District
Attorney Stone reached decision on
what further action may be taken.
The district attorney indicated, |
however, that it was most unlikely

$4,000, the same as he was held under

for love" was the way Blazers act
was characterized by defense during
the trial. I'VE grant that he slew the
girl, but we deny that he did it with
malice aforthought or that he was
sane when he did it," was the bur-
den Of the defense.
The Staying was prompted by the
lear that he would be taken and that
Hazel would become a burden on
someone else, DR.. Blazer declared in
etters which he wrote to explain his
let. After the Staying, the old doctor
made two unsuccessful attempts to end
lis life-once with poison and the
'ther time by slashing his throat with
! razor.
