This morning, after a nights
rest, the jury was locked up in

the buzzer sounded, and there was

informed Justice Bblitha j. Laws
that It was impossible to reach an

Of the United States Supreme

that those in the minority should
reconcile their opinion with that

were possible with their con-

It was believed that the party had been delayed by the high water in the river, which has been at near flood stage since the expedition started June 20 at Green River, Utah. The pilots were sur- prised that the party did not re- quest food, since they had had only enough provisions to last until July 4, when they had expected to reach Lees Ferry.
 Lyons said that the flyers had charted the eyact spot where the party was found and that they probably would return to Fl Paso to- day to await further instructions. They will attempt to go to the aid of the expedition if no word is heard from 1t within the next few days, Lyons indicated.
