THE SOB BROTHER

They're at it again, mates. Not the sob sisters,
yet they will not get at Aimee until she has reached
Los Angeles; but the sob brothers, the erate and
dull-witted purveyors of "flabby sentmentality,
hokum, sublimmated bunk.

u. S. MAY NOT TRY
DAUGHERTY AGAIN;
JURY DISCHARGED
Continued from First Page.)


Steuer, was the mastery presenta-
ton of the case by District Attorney
Buckner The second reason was the
destruction of some of the ledger
sheets of the Midland National Bank.
OF course, Daugherty was not on trial
for destroying those ledger sheets, nor
Is it a crime to destroy old ledger
sheets. Nevertheless, at the mere
suggestion of the fact many people
were staggered The third reason
was Mr. Daugherty's failure to take
the witness stand. OF course. such
was his right"
The case was given to the jury at
9:43 o'clock Friday night. Saturday
failure to agree was reported, but
Judge Julian Mack insisted on further
deliberation. Again Sunday the jury
was told that not yet would anything
but a verdict be acceptable to the
court.
At 8 o'clock yesterday, however,
the talesmen were called into the
courtroom for the last time, and again
reported inability to agree, where
upon Judge Mack said
II shall not hold you longer. gen.
tlemen. You have deliberated long
and earnestly, and l thank you for
all that you have done"
Charge of Duress Made.
The jury deliberation was marked
by the illness Sunday night Of one
juror, a shell.shocked war veteran,
and the statement to the court of
another that duress was being brought
to bear upon the minority. Murray
White, the veteran, had improved
sufficiently yesterday to permit him to
complete his task.
The former Government officials
were charged with conspiring against
the Government under inducement
Of "hypodermic injections of graft,
applied by the late John T. King, Re-
publican national committeeman from
Connecticut.
Richard Merton, German copper
maganate, who came to this country
to obtain release of the assets, testi-
fed at the trial that he paid King a
fee of SAL 900 to put his claim
through Government offices.
It was alleged that King did this by
passing part of his fee, paid in Liberty
bonds to Daugherty and Miller, reach
ing" them through Jess w. Smith,
Daugherty's political handy man. OF
these Liberty bands the Government
traced $4,000 to Miller's brokerage
accounts and s174,000 to the Midland
National Bank of Washington Court
House, Ohio. which is operated under
the presidency of Nal S. Daugherty,
the former Attorney Generals brother.
Nal Daugherty Witness.
Nal Daugherty was one Of the
most sensational witnesses at the
trial. He was called by the Govern
ment to tell how his brother had
burned bank records which the Gov
ernment contended would have COM
prised an important link in it's chain
of evidence.
Daugherty's counsel in summation
asserted that the records were burned
to keep political foes from discovering
facts concerning the Harding cam
paign fund which Harry Daugherty
had raised.
Buckner replied in summation by
asking how such information would
be in bank records of 1921 when the
Harding campaign was in 1919 and
1920
