time twenty-ene jurers had been
rejected for bias. Nearly all Of

Of the affair in the APPEAL,
published on Tuesday morning
after the tragedy and the &C.
count had caused them to form
an opinion. EX-Assemb lyman
Brown was subjected to a long
examination by both side3. He
said that he had read an account
in the newspapers which made
an impression on his mind, but
at the same time he did not put
mach faith in hurriedly written
accounts Of crimes in neWspa-
pers, as they were not usually
correct. The defense asked that
three tryers be appointed to eX-
anime the Juror. The Court ap-
pointed Capt. Lyon, Major
Eirod and l.. s. Greenlaw. Mr..
GreenIaw, being OF the jury
panel, was excused. Mr.. Elrod

the Cor0ner's jury which first
examined the case. George 3.

AN EIGHT MONTHS NAP.
A Connecticut Man Who Has Been
Asleep Since Christmas
Wakes Up.

Atelegram from Bridgeport, Conn.
to The New York Times says: In
December last, two days before Christ
mas, Sherman w. Plat, residing with
his father, Wenzar Plat, well-to- do
farmer of Morgan's Four Corners,
town of Newtown, twenty-three miles
distant from this city, fell asleep after
retiring early, as was his habit. Had
he awaked with next mornings sun,
as people generally do, the circum-
stance would have attracted no atten-
ton, but he did not Continuing in
sound repose, his parents, and after
ward his friends and neighbors, be-
came alarmed at the long slumbering
and began studying as to what Undue
ed it. The case was put into the care
of the best physicians, but the wisest
of them, after diagnosis, could give
no intelligent solution. Mr.. Plat lay
in his bed motionless. suffering no
pain, and exempt, seemingly, from
those calls which thirst and hunger
make Early i'll July, 1882, Mr.. Plat,
who is 35 years old and unmarried,
was at work in a bayfield, The sun
beat down with force, affecting his
head, and he reclmed at noon under a
tree ON pile of hay, thinking after a
short nap to feel better. On rising
from the hay he complained OF a
strange feeling in the back of his
head, and he was assisted to the house
and restoratives applied. Nothing
availed to alleviate. In the autumn
he had been attacked with malarial
fever, and it is believed the two causes
combined tended to bring about his
comatose condition, and render him
the most protracted sleeper of modern
times. From Christmas till March he
scarcely moved In bed, and took nc
nourishment save what was forced in
to his mouth. With frightening days
he exhibited signs of returning ami
nation, but not till the arrival of May
did he move from his recumbent posi-
ton, utter an intelligent syllable, OF
open his eyes. Presently, however,
he submitted to be bolstered up In bed,
and finally, like an infant, was put
into his clothes and led 10 a chair.
He could not be Indnced to speak, and
the muscular efforts, if such it may be
called, required for him to pass from
the bed to the chair was invariably
followed by deep sleep. In June,
hunger asserted itself, and during his
brief wakeful moments he daily found
his way, unassisted to the pantry, to
appease the same. his eyes all the
while closed, and returning to his
chair. resumed the sleep which his
friends were impelled to feel would
