A HU.NG JURY
The famous trial of the Roseburg
Brewery and lee Company and 11b
five directors came to an unfortunate
end this morning when the jury
which had Untuned to the evidence
returned Into the court room and
stated to the presiding Judge that
tbey were unable to reach a verdict
This particular case Is at an end. But
the fight that the officers of this
county are making for law enforce
mont has just begun. The spectacle
that went on In the Jury room Is hard
ly believable. That men sworn to
render a fair and impartial verdict
would so humble themselves to their
prejudices, so belittle themselves as
to render a verdict otber than their
' honest belief Is more than the average
citizen can understand.
District Attorney" Brown worked
bard in the presentation of his proof
of the charges mado In the Indict
ment. Sheriff Qulne and his depu
ties wore not negligent In any man
nor In ferreting out the truth.
On all sides are heard only words of
blgh praise for tho ablo manner In
which the state, through Us prosecu
tor and Bherlff, conducted the case
against the brewory and Its officers.
Eleven of those jurors were satisfied
that the charge made was true. Six
of them only voted their convictions.
Five voted for arqiiltal on flimsy pre
tences. The other one said from the
outset that there was only one thing
' to do and that was to "agree not to
agree." lie did iiot oven say that he
fott that the defendants were not
guilty. He gave no reason for his
vtubborn adherence to vote for the de
fendants. Ho didn't care for a ver
dict ii f acquittal or guilt. He want
ed to hang Unit Jury, and ha did. And
why? Ho alono' can toll.
Law violators are law violators, be
tbey men high in tho affairs of their
community or the man who toils hard
from morn till night In order to
make a baro living for thoao who de
pend upon him. The rich and great
should ho Riven meaHuro for mnanuro
with tho poor and humble. As Dis
trict Attorney Brown said. In cloning
the most eloquent, the most master
ful, tho most forcoful address we have
ever heard In any court room, eithor
stnto or federal, "Crime is Crime.
Let the guilty be punished."
There nre still a numbor of In
dictments against these same de
fendants. They will be tried again.
And when that trial is had wo trust
that the Jurymen, who are sworn to
lay nsdn all prejudice and bias that !
they may have, will render a verdict j
In nccordnnce with their convictions
as arrived at by the evidence that j
that havo heard, and not vote guilty !
or not guilty when It Is his honest be-
lief that tho defendants nro guilty j
out votes for them bncause of j
nomethlng outside the record. Such
a course brings that Juryman Into
disrepute and makes the public at
large miration his sincerity. Lot him
Tole his conviction, no matter nt what
cost.

by a local young lady, and upon be
ing given a preliminary hearing was
held to appear before the Grand
Jury. An Indictment was returned
following the Investigation of this
body, and Powers was arraigned In
court, snowing a disposition to
"put It over the court," Powers plead
ed guilty and asked permission to In
terrogate a fellow giving his name
as Kennedy who appeared as the pros
ecuting witness. The request was
granted whereupon Powers started In
to abuse the witness to the amuse
ment of tho spectators. Judge Ham
ilton Interfered, and after quieting
the srene, sentenced Powers to fin
days in the county Jail.
It was while serving this sentence
that Powers Is alleged to have partl
clpated In an attempted Jail delivery.
which came near being successful.
He was later brought before the
Grand Jury on the latter charge and
Indicted. His case followed today.
The State contends and has Intro
duced evldenceyto the effecutaht Pow
ers was guilty of participating In

the witnesses testifying against
Powers during the day were Sheriff
Qulne, Deputy Sheriffs Fred Stewart
and Ralph Qulne, Night Officer
Chambers and H. L. Price, at pres
ent an Inmate of the state peniten
tiary. Price was In Jail on the night
of the attempted delivery, and ac
cording to his testimony Powers was
one of the leading lights In the affair.
District Attorney George M. Brown
represents me state while Powers Is
being represented by Attorney W. W.
Cardweil. The case will go to the
Jury late today.
Grand Jury Busy
On account of the Powers case oc
cupying the attention of the District
Attorney today, the Grand Jury Is
alone conducting the the examination
of witnesses called In the investiga
tion of certain booze cases. At three
o'clock ths afternoon the Grand Jury
had failed to make a report. It Is not
likely that the Grand Jury will con
clude their deliberations before some
time next week.
