Jury Hung In Nevels Case After 50 Hours Of Deliberation
The Shawnee County jury in the Nevels murder case was discharged after fifty hours without a verdict. Eleven white men and James Jordan, a colored man, stood 11 to 1 for conviction on the first ballot. Jordan alone voted to acquit. Judge Hazen lamented the hang, noting the trial’s length and expense. Prosecutors indicate ongoing evidence may implicate Nevels further in the plot. The jury list included foreman William Reeder and jurors G. Wagner, GW Wright, W Beck, A M Claudy, Jerome Lone, A O Hayes, Jacob Harris, J M Crocker, A H Slayton, Abe Fulford, and James Jordan.
