From Friday's Dit?
The jury in the case of the State
of Nebraska vs. C. Lawrence Stull,
which since 4: SO yesterday after
noon has ben deliberating on the
issues of the case, seems to be dead
locked as at 3 o'clock this afternoon
no verdict had been reached.
The case was submitted to the
jury yesterday afternoon and tin
members of the jury retired to their
rooms to start their deliveration on
the issues of the cas and continued
in the Jury room until 10:30 last
evening when they were taken to
the Main hotel and quartered under
the watchful eye of Bailiff BiTly
Atchison.
The jury was returned to the jury
room at 7 o'clock this morning and
have since been deliberating over the
issues in the case.
Mr. Stull was charged with a vio
lation of the liquor law in the com
plaint on which he was tried and
which is based on the alleged sale of
intoxicating liquor to two evidence
men and whose statement of the
case was the only testimony of the
sale made by the state. The defense
contended that' the men had not
been sold any liquor by Mr. Stull hut
had on several occasions visited his
home and given him drinks and did
so on the morning of the alleged sale.
Mr. Stull denied the possession of
any "hootch" and particularly that
which was offered as an exhibit and
which the two evidence men claimed
to have purchased from him.
