| Previously a jury in the same
case had failed to agree. At that
I time Judge Harding was somewhat
|critical of the jurors.
Speaking of the case Jugde
I Harding said: “Under the evidence
in my opinion, they could not
| have brot such a verdict without
being influenced by matters that
'were outside—by matters other
than what appeared at the trial.”
j Some weeks ago Mrs. Case and
her husband, Oscar Case, were ar
rested. In the commissioner’s court
the husband was adjudged not
guilty. Mrs. Case was found guilty
and appealed. The first trial ended
in a disagreement. The second trial,
| ended in the acquittal after the
|jury had deliberated more than a
■full day.
! After the second trial, officers of
The U. S. marshal’s office and fed
eral officers raided a taxi office
■occupied by Oscar Case, hte hus
band, but reported that they found
j nothing.

resident for many years, who has
not been seen since two weeks ago.
Search parties have been employed
in making a search for him with no
success. Mr. Schuck is advanced in
age and is believed to have been
despondent. Mr. Schuck owns his
own home and a blacksmithing and
tinsmithing business of which he is
the proprietor and is generally re
garded as being “comfortably fix
ed’’. He recently made the remark
that he had not been outside for 30
years and that if he did not go soon
he never would.
