Kleckner is a we'll known young man,
having been in the employ of ]. ]. Atkins
the barber, for some time. When Kleck,
ner was arrested this morning to give
bond for his appearance on Friday, he
told the officer he desired to go home o
short time, and that Mr.. Akins would
provide the amount necessary. Arrange
ments were made and Constable WooIf
In company with the boudaman, started
for the house of the Metz girl. During
the intervening time Kleckner skipped
out of the Justice shop and went home
wardS When the Constable returned he
Immediately drove TO the Kleckaer place,
and he arrived there just in time to wit
ness his prisoner fl icing up Market street
at fast gait. he got out of his buggy
and gave chase, when the fellow turned
westward and scooted along the Ft.
Wayne track. Both men were excellent
sprinters, but when the officer caught up
with his man at the McLaine machine
company shops on South Cleveland aven-
tie, the fellow acknowledged the superior
sprinting ability of the officer and gave
himself up. He was locked up in the
county ,il to await his hearing. L. seems
Kleckner short time ago had prcmoni-
tion as to his arrest, and was about to
leave town.

Said Harvey Hawkins and Accor dinghy
He Accompanied :the Constable.
About two weeks ago Constable WooIf
arrested Harvey Hawkins, colored man
for assaulting man named Will jackson
by striking him with brick. He was
taken before Justice Reigner who fined
him one dollar and costs. Hawkins was
unable at the time to pay the amount and
stated his employer, William School
would pay the assessment for him In n
short time. He was released, but up to
this time the money has not been turned
over to the justice. Constable Woolf this
morning went down to the McKinley new
building on South Market street to rear
rest him because Of his failure to pay his
fine and costs. The burly negro told the
ofiicer he would not go. Persuasion was
OF no avail, 80 Woolf whipped out pistol
and commanded the fellow to follow him,
which he readily consented to do, saying:
"You's got gun, but put your gun away
and you's can't take me-" Mike Heints,
his present employer, paid the bill which
amounted to Sc 65.

WEDNESDAY MORNING SESSION.
Eleven jurors had been placed on the
list and II remained to secure one more.
There was only one peremptory challenge
which could be exercised, hence when

that q jury would be secured In q very
short time. The Maesillon car was late
and delayed the opening OF court for about
half an hour.
During the iutermission from Tue sday
evening Sheriff Krider and his deputies
had hustled in some jurors who could not
be found Tuesday and at about 8 80 o'clock
court opened.
The principals in the case we're some
what late in arriving. Mr. Albright came
in shortly before the case was proceeded
with and at once entered into an minated
conversation with General Asa Jones OF
Youngstown, one of his attorneys. Mr..
Snyder came In soon after. He had his
same stolid air with him but appeared to
be more interested ia the preliminary
proceedings.
The first person called was W. W. Fig
ley OF Canton and he wss interrogated as
TO his qualifications as a juror. While o
decision was being reached David Con-
rad was sworn and questioned by Judge
Amber. Conrad stated that suit against
the city was about to be commenced,
though 1t had not yet been commenced.
1t came out that Mr.. Austin Lynch
of the firm of Day, Lynch and
Day had been consulted by Conrad's
brother. Conrad stated that IL suit
would be commenced the firm of Day,
Lynch and Day would be employed.
In order to get at the facts, Austin
Lynch was put on the stand and stated
that Conrad's brother came into his office
and consulted with him and stated what
the Conrads would accept by way of
settlement with the city. He drew up q
paper for them to present to H. coun-
ell. Mr.. Lynch stated that the firm had
not been retained by Conrad, had received
no retainers fee, and had not in fact re.
ceived payment for the paper drawn up.
Judge Amber wanted the juror excused
and argued the matter briefly. General
Jones desired Conrad to remain on the
jury and argued the matter at some
length, claiming that no case was pending
in which Day, Lynch aud Day were Con.
RAIDS attorneys. Judge Taylor decided
that the juror was competent and the jury
was sworn at AS o'clock.
