tive Stock and Constable Egan had to sup
port him until he was returned to the jail.
When Judge Lippincett asked him how
he pleaded Bull mad an effort to speak, but
was unable to ~articulate, owing to the
wound he inflicted on his own throat after
the murder of his wife. When Judge Lip
pincott saw Bulls inability to utter a word
he directed the Clerk to enter a plea of not
guilty.
The Court will assign counsel to Bull next
Saturday, and will then probably set a day
for his trial. It is the general belief that II

NO STRUCK JURY FOR BURET.

Ellie Buret, who nearly fatally shot his
wife and accomplished self-murder, was az
raigned in the Court of General Sessions to-
day and he pleaded not guilty. His case was
set down for trial tomorrow.
Counsellor Dixon asked Judge Hudspeth
to grant a struck jury in the case, and
Prosecutor Winfield opposed the motion. In
stating his reasons for wanting a struck jury
Counsellor Dixon said he could not safely &c
to trial before this petit jury because the
Prosecutor had inundated it by saying, a
day or two ago., when a verdict of not guilty
was rendered in a case that was tried, that
he did not wan to try any more cases before
such a jury.
Prosecutor Winfield declared that this
jury was good enough for him and that It's
honest decisions would live long after Mr.,
Dixon was dead and forgotten.
The Court was not inclined to allow q
struck jury, and set down Friday, July 6,
for the trial day. &c
