The nine-man, three-woman jury apparently was not convinced by the testimony of the key government witness, a nine-time convicted felon who was paid more than $20,000 to infiltrate the club and allegedly pur chase narcotics from members. The four defendants were James Lyndon Cheatham, 21; Steven Rob ert “Boo Boo” Barbour, 29; Patrick Rawhide” Ledoux, 44; and Karen Brown, ?1. The jury deliberated 17 hours without reaching a verdict. Cheatham was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamines and six counts riguez said he would have to dis cuss the case with his superiors. On Saturday morning, the jury - school proMW" l — told Head it was unable to reach a 3 million lesste d > s t ril >ution.

The jury, during three days of de liberations, three times sent notes to L.S. District Judge Hayden Head Jr., saying it was deadlock. On Saturday afternoon, Head granted a motion of acquittal for Barbour, agreed to reduce his bond from $125,000 to $20,000, dismissed the conspiracy count against Ledoux and dropped two of the distribution charges against Cheatham. Barbour, a convicted felon, still faces firearms posession charges. He also ordered Assistant L.S. At torney Jesse Rodriguez to decide by Monday if the government was going to retry the defendants. Ro- “First of all, this is an important case,” he told the panel. “The trial has been expensive in time and ef fort and money. If you fail to agree on a verdict, the case is left open ... another trial will serve only to in crease the cost to the government and defendants.” The jury received the case Thurs day afternoon and deliberated two hours. Jurors returned Friday and deliberated about eight hours, be fore telling the judge it was hung. The judge ordered them to continue deliberations Saturday. Twice on Saturday, the jury sent notes saying it was hung. One juror said the panel had been deadlocked 10-2 for acquittal since Friday. “I guess you weren’t convincing enough,” Head told Rodriguez on Saturday. Coca-Cola secret recipe 99 years old Report: company to change formula Associated Press A I LAN I A — The 99-year-old, top-secret formula used to make Coca-Cola soon will be changed, according to a report published Sat urday. The new form via was developed in a secret project launched in Jan uary, The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution said in their combined Saturday edition. The newspapers, which quoted no sources and said the company would not comment, said a possible reason for the new formula was a drop in Coke’s market-leading share last year. Coca-Cola Co. spokesman Carlton Curtis declined comment except to say there would be a news confer ence Tuesday. During the conference, Curtis said “the most significant soft drink marketing development in the com pany’s nearly 100-year history will be - announced.” The current formula, known as “Merchandise 7X,” is frequently de scribed as the best-kept secret in American industry. It was developed by Dr. John Pemberton in 1886. The New York Times in Saturday editions quoted an analyst who said the Tuesaay news conference would be used to introduce a new brand of fruit-based beverages. . ^unior or senior in the College of Science who has not pre taken the English Proficiency Examination should plan to so on Thursday, April W from 7 p,«L -la order to qualify ~ - ■ fidate for a degree m the College-of.Science, each student lomu ate an ability to express himself or herself in aeeepta- ish.
