Until repealed at the present session
of the Legislature, a law of Ohio pro
vided that any man who had read the
to .timOny taken before a Coroner when
homicide had been committed be-
came ineligible to sit as a juror in the
trial OF the person accused of the
crime. 1t has been the custom of Ger
tain lawyers to procure copies Of such
testimony and mail them to men whose
names are on the jury list. They were
thus enabled to select jury to suit the
defense, as every man may, if necessary,
be required to testify whether he has
read snch testimony, and if he have, be
challenged "for cause" In nine cases
ont of ten the testimony thus received
will be read by the recipient. Perempt-
DRY challenges are sufficient to dispose
OF all others who may be deemed unre-
liable for the purposes Of defense. In

der such an abominable law he WAS not
acquitted. 1t is not strange that at last
there WAS open rebellion against such "A
perversion of the principles which IN

SHOOTING sCRAPE Ar SEwCAsrLE.
At 10 O'Clock Friday night shooting
scrape took place in Kennedy's saloon

At 10 O'Clock Friday night shooting
scrape took place in Kennedy's saloon
at Newcastle. in which Robert Buffine
too, aged abou: 30 years. vas shot twice
once in the neck and once 10 the body.
Reports as to the cause of the affair are
very conflicting. One of these reports
is about as follows. Burlington. who is
An educated, industrious lf-breed,
who has worked At coal-mining for sew
eral years. had Just returned from Sc
attic, where he had been laying of for
a week or so. During FriGav evening
ne went into kennedy's saloon. and.
after taking drink with some friends,
proposed to play game of seven up
with any man in the house for 81.
Thomas McManimee, teamster At the
mines. took up the challenge, and laid
his 81 on the table and turned round.
Ga turning back his 81 had dis,ppear-
ed. and he accused Burlington of taking
the money. Burlington denied it, and
hard words ensu.d. and finally the men
came to blows McManim-e got the
worst of it. and left the saloon. stating
that be would come back and kill the
-. Shortly after be returned with
a revolver, and fired three shots at Buf
| fington. two of which took effect, after
which McMaHimee walked off.
Another story is that when McManl
NEE missed his two dollars be entered
into a TRADE of abuse against Butting
ton, calling him all sorts of hard names.
Burlington proposed that they should go
outside the building and settle the mat
ter. when McManimee drew his revolver
| and fired three shots at him, two OF
| which took effect As soon as be was
shot, Burlington rushed ont into the
darkness and fell helpless by the side of
[ a log, and McManimee, thinking he had
gone to another saloon, went over there,
| declaring that he would finish the black
s. of b.
However. although this whole affair
took place in the presence of the con
stable of the precinct, no effort was
made to arrest the would-b be murderer,
who was permitted To walk off I'M
molested. The officers here we're not
even notified. When Sheriff McGraw
heard of the affair on the street, he
telegrapned to Deputy Sheriff James
| Mcclure to proceed at once to New
castle and arrest McManimes; but the
| chances are that he has skipped, and il
| is doubtful if be can be found. Buff
| fingtOn was brought to this city and
taken TO the reside nee of an acquaint-
| ance, where he will be cared for. His
wounds are serious; though not neces-
| sarily fatal.
