Mr. Hart, according to the testimony, had no time to apply the brakes and he crashed into the other machine. Attorney Gaffney claimed that the accident was due to negligence on the part of Miss Coleman, who was Ariving tha car under the instruction of her mother, He gave three rea- wons for his decision, first, that Miss oleman was on the wrong side of the road; second, because the car cut the corner, and third, because | of the def | two hours | and one-half, the fury appointed to | onto the turnplke when it was seen that another machine was coming. Attorney Davis referred to the speed of the Hart car, saying that the accident would not have hap- pened if it had been proceeding at 1 moderate rate of apeed. He stated that the case of the plaintiff was weak and, in answer to the state- ment by Mr. Gaffney that the plain- tifY was pending on the weakness ndant's case, replled that the plaintiff's attorney should not depend on that, he should depend on the strength of his own, The case was scheduled for trial at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and % | jury composed of Harry P, Battey, Anson A, Mills, George H. Mitchell, E. W. Bell, Norman J. McKirdy, Or- | son F. Curtls, Willlam J. Long, John | Moore, Israel Waxler, Terrance O'Brien, Patrick J. Murray and Michael P, Leghorn heard the testi- mony.

The rebuttal speech by Mr. Gaffney closed at about 3:50 o'clock and Judge Hungerford then charged the jury which withdrew at about 4:15 o'clock. Judge Hunger- called the jury back into the urt room at 6:20 o'clock and ex- Mayor Curtls, foreman, announced that no decision had been reached. Tt was sent back to the jury room to continue deliberation. It returned at about 6:45 o'clock, and announced that no agreement could be reached.
