In the case of Armstead Munger freedman, indiet
for the murder of another freedman when the speci
uenare was called by the sheriff. only one white al
three negro jurors took their seats in the iury DO
The uenire consisted of FIVE white men and fortv-f
freedmen. The sheriff announced to the court tn
he had only been able to summon seven out of Il
nifty reqnired-the negroes generally denying the
names. Col. s. If. Meek motoned to quash the geui,
The points of the motion were numerous, but Il
most important was that the negroes were not reco
Missed as jurors by the constitution and laws OF Il
State; and the military orders not having been col
