Mitchell, tried last week on a charge of murder for the killing of George Morgan, and the other three stood out for manslaughter, according to members of the Jury, which was discharged this morning at 11 o'clock after being out since 2 o'clock Satur day afternoon. From the first the Jury divided in the manner indicated, the Juryman said, and found no agreement could be reached. Circuit Judge Kavanaugh asked each Juror if there was a possi bility of agreement before discharging the Jury, and each answered In the negative. A new trial will probably be had next week. Mitchell was indicted on a charge of first degree murder for shooting George Morgan, December 30, at Third and Burnside streets. The shooting occurred after Morgan had asked Mitchell for money for a meal or a drink. Mitchell pleaded self defense. The charge was reduced to second degree murder during the trial, and Mitchell is making efforts to secure bail.
