The young woman is practically in

that she has a son 3 years old, by

Discharged
By Court
Final Ballot Reported 10 to 2
For Acquittal Freed at
Own Request After
41 Hours.
New Trial Set for Jan. 9
Br The Axwrwled Trrn.
San Francisco, Cat, Dec. 4. The
jury which tried Koscoe Arnuckie
on a charge of . manslaughter was
discharged today as unable to agree,
after it had deliberated 4 1 hours.
August Fritre, foreman of the
jury, issued a. signed statement to
night saying that one of the wom
en jurors who was in he minority,
refused to ' consider the - evidence,
from the beginning, and declared
that "she would cast her ballot and
would not change it until hell froze
over." ...'-. '
The jury was brought into court
at its ' own request at noon,-reported
a disagreement and - asked that
it be discharged. The case was set
for retrial 'January 9. . ..
Court .officers said, .however, that
the , balloting favored ' acquittal
throughout The foreman ' said the
final ballot stood 10 to 2.'
In a statement following the jury s
return, Arbuckle declared one of the
five women jurors prevented his ac
quittal, 'because she- refused to al-
low her fellow jurors to discuss the
evidence or reason with her and
would not give, any reason for her
attitude." He did not name the juror.
District Attorney. Brady said that
Arbuckle had been given "a fair and
honest trial" and complimented the
jurors who held out for conviction
as having "courage and determina
tion." He was not in court when the
jury reported. '
Hoped for Agreement
"I had hoped the jury would reach
an agreement, he said. I confi.
dently expected a verdict of guilty
upon the evidence presented. In my
opinion the disagreement' does not
vindicate Roscoe Arbuckle.' A vin
dication could 'come' only after a
quick unanimous verdict. It was my
duty to present the facts to a jury.
This I have done, though opposed
by-wealth, powejr and influence. J.,
, i he, court hat set January v as
the date for a retrial and I will be
ready at that time to. proceed."
I he members of the. jury .looked
haggard and worn when .they filed
into , the little - court room, over
which a deep hush had settled, and
took, their, seats. The foreman, Au
gust FritzeV informed the court "It
is physically arid morally' impossible
for, us to reach a-verdicf." At the
request of the court -he announced
the final ballot division. '
. Superior Judge , Harold - Louder
back, who tried the case, then told
the jury that he wanted to deter
mine if further deliberation might re
sult in a verdict. ' "It is not my de
sire to force any unnecessary hard
ship on you," he said, "but this case
has taken three weeks to try and has
been conducted at great expense. If
