JURY FAIL TO AGREE.
CASE NOT TO CONTINUE. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Aug. 4. The Crown decided not to pursue further its case against Frank Rowland Coe, farmer, of Amberley, who was on trial this week on a charge of driving a motor-truck negligently on the Alain North Road on Alay 8, thereby causing the death of a cyclist, Albert Hadler. Coe was tried twice before Supreme Court juries, but each time the jury disagreed. The principal point the juries were asked to determine, and which Air Justice Northcroft held to be of national importance, was whether Coe should have stopped his truck when the glaring lights of an oncoming vehicle appeared likely to dazzle him.
