PRICE CASE JURY OUT UOflG TIME Up to Noon Monday No Verdict Reached After 48 Hours' Session.

(Palladium Spffial) EATON', O., Dec. 18. A deliberation of forty-eight hours on the evidence produced in the case of the state against Charles K. Price, charged with murder in the second decree, of Andrew Avery, has been without result, and at noon Monday the jury was mill in the box. What the body ia hung upon 1b a matter of pure con jecture, but from the fact that the Jurora applied to Judge Risinger late Saturday night for a broader definition of the word manslaughter aH UBed in his charges, it has been advanced that the original charge ijnay be reduced. The Jurors also asked that a portion of the evideence be re-read. Seeing that an agreement was not

to be reached at an early hour, Sheriff William S. ISoner was asked to make preparation for uuartering the jurors Sunday night, and accordingly rots and lied clothing wore secured and taken into the box. The prosecution in the case believes that facts shown in the progress of the trial were of a nature too convincing of the guilt of Price to warrant an acquittal. C.enera! opinion Is that the original charge or that of manslaughter will be returned. In the event that the latter charge is returned, it is highly probable that the plea for sympathy will have played Its part. The crime with wliicIT Price is charged was enacted on the evening of August l!f at the corner of Cherry and Barron streets. Price and his farm hand, llichard Quick, had gone Ito (Richmond that afternoon, and 'during that afternoon, and during the hours In that city Price drank considerable and became intoxicated.

degree having been returned. I He was placed on trial last Mon- ! v, ,oT-lnor nf thp. pvidence

He and his family resided on the farm of his mother, Rebecca Price about 8 miles north of Eaton on the Gimlet road. He was an industrious farmer and had been profiting from his labors. He had never before been in any serious trouble, but was proven to be far from amiable when drinking. Since he had been out under bond of $.",000 Price had often discussed the case. He doubtless could foretell the result of his crime, and it is said that he once made the remark that, he didn't believe he ought to receive more than 20 years.

lit Muncle, Indiana. Holman evaded ' him with difficulty. Upon arriving in Eaton Price left the car at the corner of Barron and Main streets. He came east on the south side of the street, and when at the corner of Cherry street he bumped into Andrew F. Avery. The trouble between himself and Avery, Price declared on the witness stand, resulted from a vile name, hurled at him by Avery. Price testified that It made him mad. and he drew back , and struck Avery on the right side of the head with an axe handle he had purchased In Richmond. Avery ; sank down upon the sidowalk. Price hurled the axe handle Into the otreet, then ran south on Cherry street to the first alley. Avery was picked up and carried to the office of rr. Charles Conley, where an examination was made. He was later tak- ' en to the home of A. W. Boomer-' shine, East Main street, but died in I i about five hours, without having re- i

VANISHING CITIES

Suppose an Indiana town of 5,000 people were destroyed each year by an earthquake or tire! Would you, if it were in your power, help prevent this annual slaughter? Surely! Well, here's a situation not based on supposition: TUBERCULOSIS CAUST-" APPROXIMATELY 5,000 DEATHS EACH YEAR IN INDIANA. Tuberculosis is more certain and more destructive than earthquake or fire. Tuberculosis can be checked, prevented and cured! The money realized from the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals will be used to end this senseless and almost criminal slaughter. It is thus in your power to help! These Christmas seals are now being sold in almost every city and town in Indiana. They are being sold here. Buy one seal two, five or fifty, according to your means and you have done only your duty to humanity. BUT, DO IT TODAY!
