Jury Unable To Unravel Strange Case WAYNESVILLE, N.C., Feb. 8 (PA mistrial was declared today in the case of Way Arrington, 44, whose wife charged he tried to force her to kill herself. The jury reported itself, "hopelessly deadlocked" hours and 40 minutes of deliberation. They said they stood 9-3, but did not announce which way the majority leaned. Judge P.
C. Froneberger declared it a mistrial. Solicitor Thad D. Bryson of Bryson City immediately announced he will recall the case for trial during the July term. Mrs.
Arrington, 34, had testified that Arrington forced her to shoot herself with a pistol Oct. 30 after stringing a rope over a rafter in their tobacco barn and trying to get her to hang herself. The Arringtons live in the Fines Creek community of Haywood County. She said she pleaded two hours for her life and then told her husband if she had to die she would rather shoot herself. Arrington, charged on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, denied he ever assaulted his wife, terming the shooting and a previous incident in which she received injuries of the head as accidental.
She testified that on Aug. 7 he strapped her hands to the steering wheel of their car and beat her about the head with a mer. She also said he threatened to push their car over a cliff with her in it, to make her death appear accidental. A controversial suicide letter, which Mrs. Arrington testified her husband forced her to write, was read to the jury during a fourhour summation of the case.
The defense presented the crudely-scrawled letter to the jury in an attempt to show Mrs. Arrington actually intended to kill her husband, though defense attorneys also stuck to the theory the shooting of Mrs. Arrington was accidental. Arrington testified his wife was accidentally wounded with the Luger pistol while they were hunting pheasant. The controversial note, addressed to the six children the couple have by previous marriages, said in part that "We are going out of this world together."

Hans Feb. 8 Speidel (P- and Deputy Defense Minister Josef Rust today, a five-day trip with 6th Fleet to began, observe naval maneuvers in the Mediterranean.
Speidel becomes commander of NATO's land forces in Central Europe on April 1. according to The New York Times. The article said that a major consideration in locating the proposed plant was for its "fresh air." The company was reported expressing a desire for the North Carolina mountain community, which is barely across the South Carolina line, because it "offers protection against airborne contamination from industry and agriculture." Frederick H. Weismuller, general manager of Du Pont's pigments department, explained that impurities in silicon are measured in parts per billion and pure air is needed in its manufacture. The new plant, of an undisclosed size, will produce pounds of silicon each year.
The material which sells at $320 per pound is expected to be made at the rate of 50,000 pounds per year, or $16,000,000 worth of semiconductor grade silicon. The material is vital in many electronic and electric devices, sliver-sized bits going into transistors. The plant is also expected to produce about 20,0000 pounds a year of solar-cell grade silicon which sells for $150 a pound and goes into solar batteries. Such batteries convert direct rays of the sun into electrical energy. For Your Old Watch Regardless of make or condition, let your old watch make the down payment, One year to pay balance.
