SEARCH WARRANT NEEDED

FORr WORTH. Texas, Dec. 3.—
Failure of officers to have a search
warrant when they raided the home
of W. R. E Reed recently, resulted
in the dismissal by Federl Judge
Wilson today of charges of having
narcotics ‘filed against Reed and
his wife. Judge Wilson ordered the
drugs restored and ruled that of-

search warrant before making raids

• SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec, 3:-
The jury in the Roscoe Arbuckle
manslaughter case must reach a de-
cision or continue its deliberations
at least until 10 o’clock tomorrow
morning.
Judge Harold Loud er back, the
trial judge, denied a request of
counsel for both sides late today
that the jury be discharged.
May Decide at 10 a. m.
The judge said he would consider
tomorrow morning, if no verdict had
been returned by that time, whether
he would hold the jury longer.
The request for its discharge was
made on the ground that the jurors
were “tired out and that it would be
coercion to keep them balloting
further.”
It was made at approximately 6
p. m-. after the furors had been out
of the court room more than twen-
ty-five hours and had spent nine
hours in balloting or discussion.
The jury was given a recession of
two hours for dinner at 6:30 p. m.
Corridor gossip said 17 ballots had
been taken, all 11 to 1 in favor of
acquittal.
Wants Jury Dimissed
Milton U’Ren, assistant district
attorney, announced at 4 p. m. today
that he would send for Judge Har-
old Loud er back, the trial judge, and
ask that the jury be dismissed "be-
cause it has been out for 24 hours
without reaching a verdict."
“I think the jury has been out
long enough to have reached some
sort of an agreement." U’Ren said.
_ Following the lunch recess, the
P. Herzog, former prohibition en-jury returned to its deliberations
forcement official, was found guilty: and for the first hour it gave no in-
of bribery charges by a jury in dication of what it was doing.
