Tripp-No, 1 do not read all the ad-
vertisements; only those where people

deal about this case?
Tripp-I have read some, but they do
not put it all in.
Att. Gen.-Is your mind clear?
Tripp-Yes. am on my oath in the
| Courtroom.
His Honor said it seemed to him that
Mr.. Trip was unprejudicial.
Mr.. Hatch asked Juryman Petrie
where he was when subpanaed.
Mr.. Petrie said he was at work as a
carpenter at the Iron Works when called
on the jury by the Marshal.
Mr.. Hatch submitted that the Marshal
had no right to 60 and get jurymen
from their work He could not exercise
individual favor. He could say that the
| Marshal had an interest in the case with
relation to the search warrant. He OBJ
jected on these grounds.
His Honor did not think the grounds
sufficient.
Mr.. Hatch noted exceptions.
Hamilton Johnson said he could not
serve on the jury as he was in the same
line of business as the defendant and it
was said that they all do it. He had
thoroughly made up his mind
His Honor said he thought that Mr..
Johnson was disqualified. He was ex-
cused
L. La Pierre was peremptorily chaI-
lenged and A. Young, jr. was excused.
T. S. Douglas was called and found to be
disqualified.
Mr.. w. G. Wilder who was next
called said he had decided opinion and
had very decidedly expressed himself.
Heco uld not try it unbiased. Mr.. Wilder
was excused and E. q. Schuman was
called.
The following jury was finally de
cided upon:
w. B. Wright, w. c. King, j. A
Kennedy, M. N. Saunders, A. N. Trip,
A. Moroff. w. Roland, II. Mcintosh, A.
Petrie, j. E. Bidwell, F. Turrill, E. c.
Schuman.
Mr.. Hatch noted general exceptions to
the jury.
His Honor overruled the motion and
swore in the jury.
Attorney General Ashford then opened
to the jury, showing what the prosecu
ton intended to prove in the case. He
then called as the first witness:
l. Q. Tewksbury, who being sworn
stated: [ am storekeeper of the bonded
warehouse at the Custom House. My
duties are to receive goods in bond and
deliver and collect the duties thereon. |
There are considerable bonded liquors |
there in my charge. The dealers present |
their orders and | deliver the goods |
Some pay cash and some give bond. I |

of duties. The aggregate duties on the
order amount to 81 800 OF. No part of
them have been paid because the name

is on the order The other
order (produced) is for withdrawal of
liquors by @ w. Macfarlane & Co. The
amount of duties on the order would be
81 ,749 So. Those duties have not been
