Th* Jury was brought into court at

Hi* statement follows:
“I make this statement aa a doty
to the public.
“Thera was a tacit understanding
that th* members of the Jory would

of the Jury. It asked us to substitute
conjecture for facta without showing
what bad been don* and asked to
guess what might hava been dona and
to goem only one way.
“Human liberty and American
rights dmutd depend not upon tho
gnomes of anybody, hot upon evi
dence.”
In a statement following the jury's
return ArbueUe declared one of the
Av* women jerors had prevented hie
acquittal “because aha refused to a^
low bar follow jurors to discuaa tha
evidence or reason with her and would
not gtva any reason for her attitude."
Bo did not name tha juror.
District Attoreoy Brady said that
ArbueU* bad been given a “fair and
beneet trial” and complimented tha
jurors who held out for conviction as
having "ooureg* sad determination.”
Ha was not In court whom the Jury
reported.
“I had hoped tho jury would reach
