should proceed, as far at least as
swearing the jury is concerned, and
then would consider the question OF
extension.
At II o'clock the work of obtain

who presented themselves being
disqualified. Two of them had
formed fixed opinions on the case,
and the other had conscientious
scruples on the subject of capital
punishment.
In examining the jurors Scoville
went over large range OF ques-
tions, inquiring as to religious
and political belief.
Up to this hour, II noon, the de-
fense has peremptorily challenged

SUNDAYS DISPATCHES
Trial of Lieutenant Flipper.


GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 13.-A special
to the News from Fort Davis says
Lieutenant L. Wilhelm, adjutant Of
the First Infantry, was called by the
government yesterday in the trial of
Lieutenant Flipper, and testified
that he knew Lieutenant Flipper;
saw Colonel Shafter counting COM
missary funds with him on July End.
Colonel Shafter called attention to
a check for Sl,440 as being a very
large check for that officer. Lieuten-
ant Flipper replied: "Yes; 1 had a
lot of small checks which 1 could not
and did not wish to send to the chief
commissary, so [ sent them to the
San Antonio National Bank for de-
posit and drew a personal check
against them Witness identified
this particular check. Saw Colonel
Shafter and Lieutenant in Colonel
Skaters Office August 10th; they
were conversing in relation to dis
patches from the chief commits
sary, stating that the July
statementshowed a large amount of
funds in transit which had not been
received. Lieutenent Flipper said
that he had put large amount into
checks as late as July 9th, and anx-
ious to forward, wrote letter trans
mitting the receipts and invoices
op1 Ionoci4a al oil ~, Tho ,,oC+o44 44i ca
in a sealed envelope late at night.
He did the work at his quarters and
kept no copy at the commissaries
office because it was locked. He in
dorsed the checks to the chief com
missary if not received they must have
been lostin mail. Flipper was ordered
to turn over the funds to Edwards
the same evening, August LIST, as his
successor. He did not go to the
office before meeting Edwards in his
quarters, which were to be searched.
Wilhelm and Edwards, before search
ing promised to apologize if they did
any injustice. Wilhelm and Ed
wards accompanied Flipper to his
quarters and thoroughly searched
them. Flipper said that he had no
objection to the same being done.
They found number of statements
of May, June and July. The state
ment of August 9th was found in
the trunk. The clothing in the trunk
was afterwards claimed by servant.
Flipper's and the servants clothing
were promiscuously mixed in the
wardrobe, as were also their toilet
articles found a number of official
papers scattered about the quarters
and in such an unsatisfactory condis
tlon that Flipper was put under ar
rest and taken to the guard house
took possession of all his valuables
found personal check for commits
sary bill on Flipper's person checks
which were found on the servant girl
were given to Wilhelm for safe-keep
ing, and were afterwards given to
Edwards for safe-keeping at the com
missary, except a check for 81, 40.

Joseph Henderson, youth 13 or IA
years of age, who hailed from New York,
and was engaged at work i'll the railroad
machine shops at this place, was pretty
badly hurt while stealing ride on freight
train Friday night.
He had become engaged in a difficulty
with another boy and took it in his head to
skip out and elude the consequences
He accordingly got aboard an
east-bound freight train Friday night,
and was riding on the bumpers between two
coal cars. About Lick Creek he met with
the accident, being crushed between the
bumpers, and had his hips badly mashed
He was found by the train men, put aboard
another train, and was brought back to
Knoxville last night, suffering considerably.
He was taken to his boaiiing-kouse and
properly cared for.

Reception to Mr.. and Mrs. r.. G. Mcdonald.
Professor and Mrs. W. G. McAdoo gave
very pleasant reception Friday night to
their son, Mr.. r. G. Mcdonald, and his
newly-wedded wife, nee Miss Annie Wing
field, of Chattanooga, who are passing a
few days at their residence. A select party
of invited friends were present, and it was
an enjoyable occasion. "Ye local" is un-
der obligations to the worthy hostess, Mrs.
McAdoo, for slices of the cake, which were
very nice, indeed, and regrets that other
engagements prevented the acceptance of a
cordial invitation.
