GALLATIS, Mo-, August 24.-The inter
est in the Frank James trial, which bat
lessened slightly during Thursday, wa
fully revived yesterday. The time foI
convening the court had been appointed
at 100 O'Clock, but the attorneys al thai
time had not completed the work of pre-.
pairing the jury challenges. When thi,
was finished the court met--at 4:30o'rlock.
The prisoner entered In charge Of officers.
and his counsel announced that the chal-
lenges had been completed. The sheriff
then proceeded TO call the jurvInen as Sc
lected 10 try the prisoner on the charge Of
Embroidery at Winston and the murder
Of Conductor Wesfall. The names OF
tbe witnesses were then called. eighty-nine
being for the State and thirtv-nIne for the
defence. or the state witnesses fifty re-
sponded and were sworn. Among the alb
sent ones were Mrs. Sarah Hiie. Mrs. Boz
ton. Dick Liddel. Jim Cummings. and the
Ford brothers. The prosecution i posi-
tive, however, that they win appear
when wanted. About } third Of the de-
fcndants witnesses answered and were
sworn. After the charge 10 the Jury and
witnesses The court adjourned until s
O'Clock this morning. Among the promi-
nent witnesses for the defence are members
Of the samuels family. Frank Tut. coal
oil Inspector, and General J. O. Shelby are
members OF the jury. all OF whom-are CON-
paratively young men, the oldest being
forty-fye years Of age. They are thrifty
farmers, rated a. good citizens, and are all
said to be Democrats. One member served
in the Union army and one in the Confede-
rate. The general impression is that the
defence have won half the fight in getting
the jury. The prosecution, however. ex-
presses itself a. confident. Many ant,ci-
pate disagreement Of the jury.
