sCAHN IS TRIAL.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Tex. Feb. 1.-THE work of
selecting the Calm jury consumed the
greater part of the day in the district
court. The second venire of sixty was
exhausted without completing it, and it
was 'clock when the twelfth man was
secured The examination of witnesses
progressed slowly, and the attorneys,
Clint for the defense and Crawford and
Kearby for the prosecution, contested
every inch of the ground. The testi-
mony will likely be finished Tomorrow
and the case will probably go to the jury
late tomorrow afternoon. The Hebrews
of the city manifested much interest in
the case and they crowded the court
room all day.
DIVERS DIVORCES.
Mrs. Allie Boyd wants a divorce from
her husband SambO. The petition which
she files sets forth the allegations that
they are colored and were married III
Gregg county several years ago. 1t also
sets up abandonment. The circumstances
of the case are that at the January term
of Gregg county district court Sambo was
convicted of felony and was sent up.
In company with the sheriff of Gregg
county he abandoned his wife and went
to Huntsville, and she has not seen or
heard of him since, and she therefore
asks the law to give her freedom in lieu
of the husband it has taken from her.
Mrs. f. Donaldson wants a divorce
from II. S. Donaldson These two hearts
beat as one in the month of April, 1885,
up in Wise county. In the following Oc-
tober 7. S. pulled his freight and has not
been seen or heard of since.
