After the attorneys ou either side spoke for hoars and after the wit¬ nesses had been examined and jury had gone to their room to decide on a verdict and remained there two days, there was another discovery made in evidence to favor Maj. M .'Gregor. This evidence was ruled out on Tues¬ day by Judge Lumpkin. His honor charged the jury again and sent them to their room to try again to agree upon a verdict. This week was the usual time for court in Hancock, but Judge Lump¬ kin went up to Sparta Monday and postponed that court until some time in May. Returning to Warrenton to urge the McGregor-Oody jury to And a verdict as early as possible to save the county so much expense. It is thought that if tho jury does not agree and a mistrial i3 declared that the case will be brought to Tal¬ iaferro Superior court for trial as it will be impossible to get another qual¬ ified Jury in Warren county.
