MARSHPIKLD, Or.. D 25. CSpe cial.) Harold Howell, wno has been held in the county Jail for several months and passed through two trials for (he alleged murder of Lillian Leuthold, a 16-year-old girl of Ban don, probably never will be convicted, according to judgment of Coos coun ty people who have watched the case closely. Judge Coke this morning discharged the jury of the second trial after It hart been out since Friday night at 5:30. Foreman Adams reported again this morning that the Jury could reach ho agreement and that they had given the case careful consideration. It was said the jurymen stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal, and If this Is the case the state lost a slight advantage secured In the first trial, when eight were for conviction and four for acquittal. Ball has been offered for Howell's release. It is said, but the officers say he cannot be released and will havo to undergo another trial prob ably, as District Attorney John F. Hall has declared he will insist on a third trial before he will be satisfied. There are some who believe the evidence If produced In some other court jurisdiction might be considered differently by a Jury of men not resi dents of this county, and some expect there will be a change of venue. However, nobody who Is connected with the case has put forward that possibility, and the third trial will beyond doubt be held at Coqullle. Should a third trial result in a hung jury It Is believed the authorities would feel they had done the'r duty by the public and would likely not press for any further hearings. It is not stated when the third trial will be called, but owing to the fact the boy has been held in jail so long and the desire of the authorities to have the situation ended it will doubt less be at the next session of the Coos county circuit court along In the early spring.
