DISCHARGE LIKELY. Second Jury In Land Fraud Cases Seems Likely to Disagree. Portland, Aug. 4. Afrter 33 hours of argument and ineffectual endeavor to agree upon a verdict, the twelve weary men on the Williamson-Gesner-Biggs jury went to what rest could be gained in the crowded and stuffy jury room last night at 11 o'clock. Seven of the men, so it is rumored, hold that the defendants have not been proved to have committed the crime charged in the indictment and wish to return a verdict in accordance with their belief. Five men hold the opposite, that crime has been proved by the evidence of the government, and wish to return a ver dict of gulity. One other story has it that the jury is evenly divided, six men wishing to convict and six to acqit. Whether or not either of these stories is true, the fact remains that there is a serious disagreement, and as time has passed, the conviction has growing around the Federal building that there will be no verdict returned.
