to be as follows: When the regular
panel was exhausted only five jurors

men. Immediately after the order,

selected. The question ia whether this
list was furnished the Marshal by an
outside party, and IL so, by whom?
The jury stood four for conviction and
eight for acquittAl, two OF the regular

voted for acquittal got employment un-
der the District government.
