Headline: Terry Jury Unable to Reach Verdict

Poteau, Okla., Oct. 17.-(Special)- Jury deliberations were continued
Saturday in the murder charge of Night Marshal Luke Terry of Spiro for the
shooting of Charlie Lemons of Spiro last November in an attempted arrest.

The jury received the case at 5 p.m. Friday, reported at 10 a.m. that they
were deadlocked nine to three, and were sent back to continue deliberations
by District Judge Ben Belew.

Terry took the stand in his own defense Friday, telling jurors he shot
Lemons after the latter resisted arrest, knocked him down three times and
was approaching him. State witnesses said Terry shot Lemons after the latter
halted in response to Terry's request.
