OTTAWA, Ill.,, Jan. 19.-The stat 9
supreme court in an opinion rendered
by Chief Justice Bailey. today, reverses
the verdict in the case of Dan Coughlin,
the last of the men convicted for DR..
Cronin's murder. and remands the case
for trial. The opinion makes $4,000
words. The reversal is based princi-
pally on the ineligibility of jurors Bon
tecou and Clark. No expression OF
opinions as to the various other points
raised by counsel is given.
Justice Schofield has written at the
end of the opinion: 81 dissent both
from the reasoning and conclusions in
the foregoing opinion"
Judge Magruder also dissents and
says: Judgment is reversed upon
the alleged ground that Bon.
tecou and Clark were not impartial
jurors" The judge then reviews the
examination of those jurors, and con-
siders them sufficient to establish their
competency. He says two facts are
clearly disclosed their opinions

ability to fairly and impartially render
verdict in the case in accordance with
the law and the evidence.
After comment on the general use OF
the newspapers by the public, Judge
Magruder says: IF men who read
newspaper accounts are excluded from
the jury box, trial by jury might as we'll
be abolished. The fact that Juror has
expressed an opinion based on news-
paper statements does not necessarily
disqualify him." and in support Of this
Judge Magruder cites a number Of opin.
ions.
