OYER AND TERMISER.
On Tuesday ut 10 a. M. the Court
directed the Sheriff to bring into court,
Uriah Meyer, charged with the muir
der of Gretchen kinteler on the night
OF December sth, 1877. The prisoner
was arraigncd and being asked how

God and n jury of my country" where.
upon the Clerk proceeded to call over
the regular panel from which, after

10. Irwin Bowersox. IL. Daniel Oldt.
The clerk announced the regular
panel exhausted and the Court direct
ed Venire TALES DE CIRoUMsTANTI-
BUS to issue for 12 persons to serve as
Jurors-the Sheriff having returned
his writ the Clerk drew from the box
the name of Philip Amich who after
the usual examination passed into the
box and made up the number Of Jur-
ors requisite for the trial.
The trial progressed more rapidly
than the former trials, because of the
familiarity of counsel with the case
but none the less careful. There was
not much interest manifested by the
people in attendance because it was
the old story over again.
The testimony Of Jacob s. Meyer
Meyer who was not witness on form
er trials created some interest;
His testimony was substantively-
that In the fall of 1877, October, Uriah
Meyer cameto the cornfield where he
was at work and asked him to goalong
and kill the Kintzlers-ando on anoth-
er occasion Uriah came to his house
and asked him to go along and help
kill then-stating that kintzlers had
money and no friends and that no one
would bother about them II they We're
killed-that he, Uriah, had money out
