* REACH NO VERDICT S econ d T rial of Land Fraud Case P rov es F ruitless. 3 0 BALLOTS WITHOUT CHANGE Proposal to Convict Gesner and Biggs and Clear Williamson Was De feated by One Juror. » Portland, Aug 5.—John N. William- »on, Dr. Van Gesner and Marion R. Bigg 8 ;will have to face trial on August 28 for the third time, on the charge of conspiracy to suborn perjury. After having strived for 45 hours to reach some conclusion, the jury in the W il liamson case came into court, and upon its own request was discharged by Judge De Haven. At only one time did the government cause hold the majority vote, that being during the first three ballots, when seven of the jurors voted to acquit, the vote then changing to six (or conviction and an equal number for acquittal, where it hung without in terruption through 30 ballots. At an other time those voting to acquit pro posed to their comrades to convict Ges ner and Biggs, provided Williamson should be acquitted, but Henry J. Keene would not consent to the agree ment, and no change was made in the vote. George Kirk, after having voted (or three times to convict, changed his ballot to the other hand and refused to make another decision. According to the story told by several of the jurors, it was apparent early in the course of the deliberations that no verdict could be reached, and the subsequent ballots were taken more as a matter of form than with the expectation that any change would be shown. The bone of contention seemed to be in regard to the existence of a contract, and in the question of intention on the part of the defendants to do wrong. PORTLAND MARKETS.
