THE MOKMXO OEEGONIAX, FRIDAY, OCTOBETl 13, 1922 ACQUITTED E Indian Found Not Guilty of Killing Dry Agent. SECOND TRIAL LIKELY District Attorney to Bring Case on Indictment for Death v of Officer Price. DALLAS. Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) Phillip "Warren, Indian, 31 years old, was acquitted bv the jury which heard the evidence in his trial for the murder of Grover C. Todd, fed eral prohibition officer, at New Grand Ronde on the morning- of Sep tember 3. The jury returned its ver dict about 11:30 this morning after it had deliberated 19 hours. At 9 o'clock this morning the jury went into court and asked for fur ther instructions. The written re quest handed to the court by B. I Ferg-uson, foreman, was to the effect that there was a contention among the jurors as to whether Todd was ertually killed by a bullet fired by Warren and they desired to know if there had been evidence to that ef fect. Court Refuses Advle. Judge Belt replied that it was not permitted under the. law for the court to comment upon the evidence, but that the jury must decide mat ters of that kind for themselves. The jury then returned to their de liberations and it was 2 hours later before they returned their verdict. It was evident from the question asked of the court that the acquittal of Warren was based upon a doubt ' in the minds of the jurors as to whether Todd's death was caused by a bullet from Warren's rifle or one fired by one of the officers who were shooting- at the Indian. At one time it is reported the jury stood seven for conviction of murder in the second degree and five for manslaughter. . Second Trial to Be Held. District Attorney Heigerson stated immediately after the verdict had been returned that Warren would be tried upon the other indictment for first degree murder, charging the killing of Price. As the jury panel for 1922 has been entirely ex hausted it is probable that this case will not come up until the next term of court in January. here.
