PARKER-MAFEE CASE
Not a Juror Accepted When Court
Adjourned at Franklin.
Attorney COckrum Makes a Lively Scene
i'll Court at Muncie-Suicide of Flor
ist Hunt at Terre Haute.

FRANKLIN, Ind. April 23.-The Parker
McAfee murder case, brought here on
change Of venue from Marion county. was
called for trial in the Johnson Circuit Court
this morning. with Judge Johnson on the
bench The entire day was taken in the
effort TO secure a jury. Slxty-three men
were examined, and at the adjournment Of
court eleven were in the box under examin-
alton, none Of whom has been accepted.
Out of a possible twenty peremptory chal-
lenges for each side the State has used
seven and the defense nine. The special
venire having been exhausted, Judge john
son ordered an additional forty-eight men
summoned who are to appear tomorrow
morning From indications there will be no
evidence introduced tomorrow, as much
more time will be required in completing
the jury. The State is represented by
Prosecutor Hoffman, of Indianapolis;
Prosecutor Thomas H. Campbell, OF Shelby
Vile; Thompson & Deupree. Miller & Bar
nett and 8. p. Oyler, all of this city. The
attorneys for the defense are Keeling &
Hugg of Indianapolis; Overstreet & Over
street and W. f. Pritchard, of this city.
1t has been learned that Ed McAfee, one
of the defendants, was at one time a resi-
dent of Franklin for a few weeks. and was
employed in poultry house owned by
Arthur Jordan, OF Indianapolis. The prison.
ers are well dressed, neat in appearance
and cheerful. McAfee's mother Is attending
the trial, as is also Parker's father and a
number Of other colored people Of Indanap-
oils. Mrs. Eyster is accompanied by her
sister and also her uncle Harry Spears.
Judging from the care with which the
jurors are selected the case will be closely
contested. Much interest is taken in the
case In Johnson county and large crowd
was in the court room. II Is the first
murder case on trial here in years.

profitable crop TO feed stock. The soil for
spurry requires the same preparation as

narrowed in the same manner clover.
From six TO eight quarts OF seed should

the seed has fully formed, but before it
has ripened. The seed terminates quickly,

dition for pasture in four TO six weeks

judge when the district was composed of
the counties of Spencer. Perry Crawford,
Orange and Dubois, and he made the
rounds OF the circuit" on horseback, which
ordinarily took him three months. Many
years ago IL was quite a common thing for
all of the attorneys at the bar to get on
a spree during court, which fact was evil
denced at LeavenwOrth one time when
Judge Laird was holding court there. He
very much surprised the attorneys one day
when he called their attention TO the fact
that they were all drunk. and. after Sc
Verely rebukiEg them, said: Court will be

Three Taken from Jail and Strung to

in Madison Parish.

VICKSBURG, Miss, April 23.-Four ne
groes have already paid the penalty for
the assassination of Manager Boyce of
the Baune plantation, in Madison parish,
on Saturday, and it is not unlikely that
several more will have summary justice
dealt out to them. Madison parish is sit
uated in the northern part Of the State
One of the negroes was shot on Saturday
after being caught. Judge Lynch held high
carnival during the night at Tallulah. A
mob gathered in front of the Jail, held
a conference, and decided upon the
guilt of three men tincaCcerated in
jail. Then the mob went deliberately
to work and, with a battering ram, burst
in the side of the jai. and forced open the
door. Samuel Slaughter, Thomas Claxton
and David Hawkins were led out and
swung up to the balustrade of the court
house until dead Their bodies were hang
ing there this morning. ClaXton and his
four pals are still in the swamp north
of the railroad between Millikin's Bend
road and the river. The hunt is being Wig
orously pressed, but the dogs yesterday
could not follow the trail owing to the
cold. The river and all avenues of escape
are closely guarded and the capture of the
five men is regarded as only a question of
time. 1t seems almost certain that they
will be lynched as soon as they are appre-
