Most of the time in the.procedure of
the Egner murder trial this morning was
consumed in wrangling over the old ques-
ton whether the Sheriff had the right to
go around the vicinity and bring persons
into Court to report to him as bystand-
ers. The point in dispute arose i'll the
case Of one juror, named Martin Arm
strong, who, it appeared, had been
brought to Court by Mr.. james Mallory
from Anderson township. Sheriff Spring
meyer was examined as to whether he
mad deputed the above mentioned gen.
tlenan to 60 around to bring in bystand-
ers. 1t appeared, however, that lie had
not, but that MI. Mallory had gone of his
own accord.
After some discussion the action in the
matter was postponed for further con-
sultation by the Judge. Up to this time
altogether 2U7 by5tanders have been eX-
amlned, of whom five were accepted as
qualified jurors yesterday afternoon, the
names OF whom appear in our Court Cul-

Samuel Merrill, a farmer from Anderson
township.
Seventeen jurors have SO far been per-
emptorily challenged by the defense, two
by the State and the others excused.
