There were fewer children in Indiana working in industry during 1937 than there were in either Ohio, Illinois, Michigan or Wisconsin, a survey made by the Social Security Board showed today. Indiana had 611 boys and girls under 15 who earned taxable wages. Illinois had the highest number, 2695, while the total for the five states was 8287 or one-tenth of 1 per cent of the total for whom cld- -age insurance wage reports were made.

JURY RELEASED, WILSON TO FACE 20 DEATH TRIAL
Talesmen Disagree After 25 Hours’ Study of Maze Shooting.
A new trial will be held July 5 for Sam Wilson, charged with first degree murder in connection with the shooting of Edward Maze, West Side filling station owner, two years ago. A Criminal Court jury of six men
and siz women was discharged by Special Judge James D. Ermston yesterday after failing to reach a
\ | verdict after 25 hours’ deliberation.
The Wilson case, which has been considered unusual in local court annals because of lack of presentation of any defense for the 29-year-
8 [old convict, opened Monday.
‘No Possibility’
When the fatigued jury came back, the foreman, Arthur H. Watts, 871 Sunset Ave, announced that “there is no possibility of agreement.” He told Judge Ermston that the jury had been deadlocked since 2 a. m. The jury received the case at 3:20 p. m. Wednesday and reported its disagreement at 4:20 p. m. yesterday. Judge Ermston told the jurors he regretted that they had not been able to reach a verdict, “because a new trial would cause the county additional expense.”
Cost Estimated at $4000
It has been estimated that the Wilson trial cost the county approximately $4000. It took weeks for attorneys to complete a jury, having exhausted 350 prospective jurors before Monday. Defense attorneys, T. Ernest Maholm and William Erbecker, declared the disagreement was a ‘“‘victory.” Edward Brennan, deputy prosecutor, who had charged that Wilson was a “premeditated and designing killer,” made preparations for the new trial. Judge Ermston asked each juror to “keep to yourself your opinion in the case.”
WARFLEIGH SEWER
BIDS TO BE ASKED
More than 100 Warfieigh residents meeting with the Works Roard today asked for the installation of a $105,000 sewer in their district. Proposed sewer plans have been discussed for several years. At one time it was proposed that the City pay the complete cost but Judge Earl Cox ruled against this and
the sewer is to be paid by prop-
erty assessment.
