Winnes, 1921, Harlan Co. ------------------------------------------------------------ Middlesboro Daily News, Middlesboro, KY Feb. 5, 1921 Winnes Jury is Discharged; New Trial April 15th Bond Set At $5,000 -- Motion For Dismissal Denied By Judge Davis - Knives Drawn In Clash Of Jurors Harlan, Feb. 5 -- Judge W.T. Davis of the Circuit Court here late yesterday afternoon, discharged the jury, which after deliberating 85 hours was unable to agree on a verdict in the case of Dr. H.C. Winnes, former state veterinarian, charged with the murder of Miss Lura Parson, Pine Mountain Settlement School Teacher. Immediately after Judge Davis discharged the jury, counsel for the defense moved for the dismissal of the case, which was overruled. Judge Davis then set Winnes' trial before a new jury on April 15. He was allowed to give bond in the sum of $5,000, notwithstanding the fact that the commonwealth asked that it be placed at $10,000. A feature of the trial came after Judge Davis fixed the bond at $5,000. Within a minute the amount was raised by spectators in the courtroom at the time. The jury stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction, as it was understood during the course of the trial. It is being circulated here that Mose Brewer, of the Clover Fork section, is the man who stood between Dr. Winnes and freedom from practically the beginning of the balloting in the jury room. Great interest has been aroused over the fact that Brewer is an uncle of Ernest Creech, a convict camp guard, and a witness at the trial. This interest lies chiefly in the fact that the defense sought to put the blame for the murder on negro convicts, who, it was claimed, at all times were allowed to roam at large over the mountain, and some of whom were working near the spot where the body of the teacher was found. Another feature of the case was a fight between two jurors because of the deliberations in the case. Knives were drawn in the courthouse, but a deputy sheriff rushed in and separated the combatants before any injury could be done. The fight occurred after Judge Davis had made a talk of half an hour to the jurors, and indicated that he would dismiss the jury if no verdict was reached by yesterday afternoon. Judge Davis asked the jurors what was the cause of the disagreement and the answer was that they "disagreed with each other." To prevent further trouble a deputy sheriff was put on guard in the jury room.
