THE DEFENSE NOT SATISFIED.
This filled the box and the court decided
that. following the ruling Of Chief Justice
Bingham in the Ward case. it was for the de-
Tense to first declare whether it was satisfied

lawyer could always comprehend. much less a
witness; that it was misleading; that it
was enough to use the term com
petent evidence" and that he would
rule out the question. Thereupon the defense

bias He thought his opinion was such a
one as could not be removed. He was thereupon
directed to stand aside.
THE PANEL EXHAUSTED.
This left but eleven jurors in the box, and as
it also exhausted the regular panel the court
stated to the jurors that while none OF them
selected they should for the time re-
gard themselves as selected jurymen
and should not allow any one to talk
with them concerning the case. nor should
they read anything concerning it. They were
thereupon excused until tomorrow morning at
10 o clock and the clerk directed to summon
seventy-five talesmen to appear then, to which
time the court adjourned.
AN EXHIBITION OF EMOTION.

the first emotion shown by him during the
trial Passing in front of his mother and SIS
ter he -sed to shake their hands. Not
word passed between the prisoner and them,
but as he noticed the tears falling from their
eyes his lips quivered, and although he bravely
strove 10 maintain himself the tears
fell from his own eyes and his frame shook with
half-suppressed emotion. But brushing away
his tears he Strengthened himself up and without
aword passed out of the ROOM Not once during
the proceedings in court did he speak. but sat
with his hands clssped in his lap. his lips
tightly compressed together. staring with
vacant fixed gaze straight before him.

man Kahlert, Andrew c. johnson, Rob-
ert H. Gray and William r. Stark.
Messrs Carroll. Cooper, Ambush, johnson and
Gray are colored men. Although seventy
five talesmen have been summoned for

it be possible to complete the jury The de-
Tense have sixteen peremptory challenges re-
naming, having exercised but four, and the gov.
