VERDICT TO ODST BATTET Seventy Hours Rerniired in Which to Beach an Agreement TWO FOR ACQUITTAL AT FIRST Defendant Will Ask for New Trial and, Falling In That, Probably Will Take an Appeal to Supreme Coart. , After being out over seventy noura the district court Jury before which was tried the action to remove H. V. Battey from the office of clerk of the district court of Pottawattamie county, brought In a verdict shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing finding Mr. Battey guilty of misconduct In office, as alleged In the petition filed by County Attorney Hess, upon relation of the state of Iowa. Mr. Battey was not present when the Jury returned Its verdict. The action wag civil one and the presence of the defendant la not necessary u In I criminal case when the Jury brings In Us verdict. Mr. Battey was not aware that the Jury had reached an agreement until after the verdict had been returned. At the request of counsel for Mr. Battoy Judge Wheeler deferred issuing the order for the removal of the defendant from of fice and It Is understood that a motion for a new trial will be filed. In the event of a new trial being denied Mr. Battey would have Uia right to take the case up on ap peal. In the case of an appeal It would be doubtful If a hearing could be obtained bo fore the supreme court much before the end of the year; If even then. The at torneys for Mr. Battey wcra unable to atate yesterday what course would be taken beyond filing a motion for a new trial. The trial of the action was begun Tues day morning, May 5, before Judge N. W. Macy, who came here specially at tho request of Judge Wheeler. During the progress of the cars George Quick, one of the Jurors, was taken sick and after a Celay of one day the trial was continued with eleven Jurors. The case waa given to the Jury about 11:30 o'clock last Saturday morning. How Jury Stood. .When the Jury was called before Judge Wheeler Monday evening. Foreman Green stated there was no probability of being able to reach an agreement. Yesterday morning Judge Wheeler again called the Jury before him and Foreman Green asked that It be given more time. This was taken as an indication that there was some chance of an agreement being reached, and about an hour later the verdict was re turned Since the returning of the verdict It has been learned that the Jury stood I to I for conviction on the first ballot and that It remained that way until Sunday morning. when thre was a change to 10 to 1. There further change -until yesterday morning, when the one Juror decided to agree with the other ten. Tho Jury lacked but about half an hour of having been con fined for .three full days. The filling of a vacancy In any of the county ' offices rests with the Board of Supervisors. That they will watt ' till the formal order for the removal of Mr, Battey Is Issued by the court before taking any action Is the general expectation. The board is scheduled to meet June 1. Mean while H. J. Chambers, who wss appointed by Judge Wheeler to take charge of tho office pending the determination of the ouster suit, will continue to act as clerk of the district court. H. V. Battey, who had served as deputy at Avoca under Freeman L. Reed, his pred ecessor in office, was elected clerk of the district court on the republican ticket In November, 1904. He waa re-elected In No- vember, 1906. and his term would have ex pired at the close of this year. Baaed on Expert's Report. The action to remove Mr. Battey from offlc was brought about by the report of C. J. Rlchman. an expert accountant of De Moines, who was employed by the Board of Supervisors to check over the books and accounts of the office of the clerk of the district court. Mr. Rlchman reported that I2.197.M was due the county from the clerk. Of this amount 1878.(1 was alleged to repre sent fees for making complete record In cases which Mr. Battey had failed to turn over to the county. The report also called attention to numerous erasures and altera tions in the records of costs and fees In the office. The Board of Supervisors at once referred the report to Judge Wheeler of the district court, who on April 15 sus pended Mr. Battey from offlc. On April 16 County Attorney Hess filed the petition for the removal of Mr. Battey from the office of the clerk of the district court. In the petition charges of corruption, wilful misconduct and maladministration In office were made. The petition contained thirty one counts. etnc or Not "eel as;.

WORK IS TO COMMENCE AT ONCE Chance that City and Champion Iron Works May Agree on a Com promise In the City Jail Controversy. General Manager 11. H. Culver of the Omaha Packing company stated yesterday that the building of a new and modern smoke house for the Omaha plant would begin at once. The new building will be located at the southeast corner of tho new plant and will be four or five stoilps In height and valued at about 1100,000. Plans for this building were filed nearly a year ago and it Is likely that the construction would now be under way had not the present been a time of general liquidation, during which few firms have engaged In building new structures. At the old plant, which Is still smoulder ing from the big fire, it Is determined to rebuild the ice plnt at all events. What Other buildings will be constructed, have not yet b?en determined by the manage ment. The Insurance adjusters are In the city busy with the estimates of losses. Talk of Compromise on Jail. It Is now hinted that there may be a possibility of compromising the Jail rep osition with the Champion Iron works. The president of the company, G. J. Carter, said he was anxious to avoid a suit. It was suggested that the company might take out at least one panel at the back of each cell and substitute a grating with out cost to the city. The attorneys for the firm made a like statement yesterday evening. It appears that the company Is willing to compromise to save the expense of a lawsuit. Tho city officials have ex pressed a desire to accomplish the same purpose. The expense or cost of making the changes required will be nominal, and It Is possible the city may get the com pany to do the work by making the proper advances. The police department Is clamoring for the new Jail. Runaway from Kearney Captured.
