Jury IN HALE
T RIAL CANNOT
REACH VERDICT
lBy Dispatch A. 2. wirel

GUTHRIE, Okla, Aug. 25.-The gov
ernment's first concrete effort TO
bring to justice the men it believes
are responsible for an extensive con-
spiracy to slay members of the
wealthy Usage Indian tribe for their
fortunes has ended in deadlock. A
federal court jury that had deliber~
ated for five days on the case Of
william X Hale and John Ramsey,
charged with numbering Henry Roam:
Usage Indian, was dismissed today by
Judge John H. Cotteral after the
foreman had reported that the body
could not hope to reach an agreement.
The trial had been in progress four
weeks before the case was given tc
the jury.
Government attorneys announced
that steps for retrial would be
taken at once. Counsel for Hale and
Ramsey said that immediate efforts
would be made to obtain the release
of the two defendants on bona.
At the same time the state of Okla
homa was preparin gto bring the two
men to trial on another murder charge
l-one in connection with the death
of w. E. Smith of Fairfax, who, with
his wealthy Usage Indian wife and Z
white house maid, was killed in an
explosion that wrecked his home.
The jury took "a ballots during its

of the jury vote for conviction, said
one member of the jury. Roam was

Fairfax Suspicion fell upon Hale
when it was found that he was the
beneficiary of a $4,000 insurance
policy on Roan's life. Ramsey last
January signed a confession that he
killed the Indian at Hale's ihstigation.
He later repudiated the admission
asserting that it was obtained by fed.

MEXICAN YOUTH
ACCIDENT ALLY
SHOT ON TRAIN

Guillermo Morales, 12-year- -old boy
residing at Esqueda, Sonora, Mexico, is
believed to have been fatally wounded
Wednesday morning when he was ac-
cidentally shot while riding on the
Nacozari train from Esqueda to Aqua
Prieta. The boy was rushed to the Of
flee of Dr. N V. Alessi, in Douglas,
where every effort was made to save
his life, but little hope is held for his
recovery. He was taken to the home
of relatives in Aqua PrIeta.
According to officials of the Naco-
zari railroad, the boy boarded the train
at Esquada with man who was car
rying a bundle of bedding. When the
boy moved this bundle to make more
room in the seat in which they were
riding, a loaded gun concealed in the
bundle exploded. The bullet struck the
boy in the right side of the chest, PEN
etrating the upper part of the right
lung and going through the body.
The wounded boy was brought into
Aqua Prieta by Conductor A. Ochoa in
order that he might have proper med
ical treatment. From Aqua Prieta, he
was taken to the office of DR.. Alessi,
who did everything possible to save
his life. The name of the man accom-
panying the boy was not learned by
the railroad officials. 1t is probable
that the boy will be removed to Il
Douglas hospital.

will be closed to the public and the
body placed in vault here in the
funeral church until Monday. 1t will
be viewed only by friends and as

Ullman added that there will be no

IF we had more time / believe ii
would be possible under this provi-
sion for us to get practically every

can't receive the ballot until Is days

this does not allow us sufficient time
