Syllabus

<p>Discretion oe Court to Discharge Jury that cannot Agree. — The-discharge of a jury by reason of their inability to agree is entirely within the sound discretion of the court. The supreme court will not reverse a judgment of the court below for an abuse of discretion in discharging the jury unless it is affirmatively shown by the record that there has been such abuse of discretion; without such affirmative showing the presumption of this court is that, the jury was properly and legally discharged.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
