With eight jurors for acquittal
against four for conviction on the
charge of assault with intent to do
bodily harm for which they would
have assessed as penalty a $100 fine,
the jury hung through every ballot in
the case oi the State vs. Ben Clay.
A second trial at the March term
of court will' be necessary to decide
the case, since the jury could not reach
a decision of nine to three in the 24-
hour deliberations before being dis-
missed at 4 p. m. Friday by the court
as hopelessly deadlocked.
The jury reported that no agree-
ment could be reached at 10 o'clock
that forenoon and was instructed by
the :«:dgc to return and try to reach
some decision that would wive a*
least three-fourths « f the jurymen for
some decision within the law and thr

ed to fix the length of time or th<
