A’a., Sept. 1. —A jury of men from Amherst coun ty. brought here after the court had de cided it would not be possib e to obtain a fair and impartial jury in Cumberland county, were unable to agree today as to the guilt or innocence of Robert 0. Garrett, county clerk, charged with the murder of Rev. E. S. Pierce last June .7th. and were dismissed. Thus for the second time since the now famous ease was called last July 20th. legal battles that have made history in A’irgiuia court proceedings, have brought no results and the case stands where it did before the weeks of battling over changes of venue, changes of venire and other technical points of law. R. O. Garrett's case w-ill be called again when the next term of court con venes on September 20th, but whether the trial will begin at that time is un decided as the trial of Larkin Garrett, brother of the man'whose trial ended today with a bung-jury and jointly in dicted with him for first degree mur der in connection with the killing of the Baptist minister, also is set for that date and it is possible may get prece dence. The jury deliberated today three hours and one minute but the fact that it was apparently hopelessly divided early in the consideration became evjdent when the jurors filed in and told Judge B. I). White that they could not agree. '.lt is stated that at the outset one juror stood for first degree murder, seven for second degree murder, one for manslaughter, and three for acquittal. After the sec ond 'period of deliberation, it was fur ther stated, the men who stood for some sort of punishment agreed to consolidate on a manslaughter verdict provided the others would come over. The three for acquittal stood out firmly, however, and further efforts for unanimous agreement were abandoned. NEGROES THROW UP JOBS While Digging on Road. They I nearth Some Human Bones. Chapel .lllil X. ('., Sept. 2.—The pro verbal superstition of 'negroes has lead a score of them engaged in building a mile stretch of road hack of Emerson field at the University of North Carolina, to con nect the Raleigh and I'ittsboro routes, to throw up their jobs. While digging their way through the forest this week several of them unearthed what appear ed to be human bones, forthwith calling their brethereu into conference. "Gentlemen, (lore is no doubt ‘bout it. Deip is human skel’tohs and we quits dis place right now,” the leader of the gang, a reverend man. told his fellow workmen. And pointing to the cemetery a few yards away, he added: "Dis place am certainly haunted. Don't you sec dat graveyard right over dere." The foreman explained that they had simply run across the bones of some of the specimens with which the medical students at the University had been ex perimenting. It is customary to bury the bones in this part of thp forest, whicli skirts the freshman athletic field. But the negroes' mimls were not chang ed. They called it a day. Later, how ever. they held another conference and decided to go back to work, but only at the other end of the road, a mile from any bones they knew of. AA T hat they may do as they work their wak back to ward the ceuietery, the foreman admits it is hard to tell, but he is hopeful the “fever” will gradually wear off.
