IN THE COURTS.

Thomas G. Hewlett, the well-known de- tective, is on trial in the criminal court for killing H. c. Bode, the charge against him being murder.
 A struck jury of twelve men was selected from the thirty-six jurors tbis week as fol- lows: J. D. Glenn, W. A. Bagley, F. B. Shoemaker, T. ". Goodwin, J. J. Beas- ley, J. D. Benton, J. deB. Hooper, Jacob Berger, J. M. Loyelace, J. w. Humber and Luther Malone.
 Several witnesses were examined during the day.
 Hewlett shot and killed H. c. Bodie, both of whom were passengers on the East Lake dummy train, about two years ago. It appears that Hewlett was smoking or Bodie accused him of smoking in the car, and from this dispute arose between them. Some of the evidence tends to show that Hewlett shot Bodie without provoca- tion, while the evidence of other witnesses tends to prove self defense. The balance of the week is likely to be consumed in the trial of this case.
 the defense is represented by N. 5. Feagin, J. E. Hawkins, R. J. Lowe, c. G. Brown and Morris Loveman.
