Standing before the Judge presid ing is the jury of twelve men, they were sworn to hear the testimony in the case and on their oath to bring In a true verdict. Since Saturday night those twelve men have had the case, they have considered it in th-j light of the meagre evidence permitted to come before them. They have not agrred upon a verdict. They are ordered to state “how they stand”—not individually but coiiec- tively. Then they hear this expres sion from the bench—1 don’t think there ought to bo a mistrial. This ease ought not tc be tried again. If « small minority is for conviction they ought to yield. If a small minor ity is for acquittal, they ought no; to yelld. That is my view about it. ■Tustice weeps again. This case is that of the State against S. M. Pollard, charged wita killing Chief of Police Smith at Farir- villo in .January 1P14.

Immediately, Judge Peebles ordered the case continued until January, with the defendant in jail and announced the next case to be the case against S. M. Pollard. Attorneys for the State filed a motion at once for a continuance, accompanied by affi davits establishing the absence of two important witnesses, both being men who were present at the scene of the killing. Tno motion was denied and the case ordered to trial. Change of Venue Refused.
