Standing eight for conviction and
four for lesser crime, or possibly ac
quittal, the Jury in the Cain mur
der trial, after remaining out nearly
fifty hours and failing to r-iach a
verdict, was discharged late yester
day afternoon and mistrila declared.
Such was the message reaching
Americus from Cordele last night.
The trial has been one of absorbing
inteerst and discussed to the exclus
ion of all other topics in Cordele,
where Cain killed Chief of Police For
rest recently.
The case, which has been ably pros
ecuted and as ably defended, was giv
en to the Jury Wednesday afternoon
after Hie charge of Judge Whipple,
and from (hat hour until late Fri
day evening the jury had been hung.
From the very first a mistrial was
predicted by many.
The principal grounds of tile de
fense was the plea of self-defense, tho
attempt having been made to show
that the slain officer reached for his
pistol, or made a motion to do so,
when Cain shot him through the
heart as he cleared the door.
This In part, was the testimony of
Gordon Harrison now in Jail at Cor
dele as accessory, and star witness
for the defense.
Many witnesses for the state testi
fied as to Harrison's character, call
ed there from Americus. Harrison
was Indicted by the grand Jury and
his trial will doubtless follow that
of Cain who will be tried again at tho
May term of Crisp court.
Cain will remain in jail until that
time though Harrison will doubtless
be released on bail, as he Is charged
with being accessory after the fact.
