Many persons held the belief that jurv
could not be secured in the county. but 1t
was found that there were many persons
who had not made UP their minds. A
considerable number were found who were
opposed to capital punishment or who
would not convict on circumstantial
evidence. and they were excused their
belief disqualifying them to act as jurors.

discretion of the court Mr.. johnson
spoke in favor OF allowing her 10 remain.
Mr.. Foote argued the other side and said
that he strongly objected to Mrs. Nc
Whittier remaining as she was very i'm
portant and, in fact, the most important
witness for the prosecution. and as attor-
ney for the defense he said he should in
sist that she hear neither the opening
statement nor word of the evidence
which should be introduced.

prior to the time the shooting began, and
before the echoes of shots had died away
he was seen running out of the alley. We
