for the second trial of J. II. Coughlin.
After the opening of Court the nam es
of the jurors drawn were called and all
but four answered. A special venire
was issued for four jurors, and Court
adjourned till Tuesday morning, at
which time Judge Gilmer announced
that the case would be continued until
April 9th, according to the desire of
all parties interested. Coughlin was
allowed to furnish bail in the sum of
$1,000 for his appearance, and after
short time spent in looking around
the city, left, with his attorneys, for
Elyria. And now, after being con-
victed OF murder in the first degree,

four guards during his trial is consid-

ascertained by lowering whistle, that
the gas vein which had been struck
was about 200 feet from the bottom OF

so that the torpedoes should be held at
