FIVE JURORS NOW.
The Work Progressing a
Little Faster.
Records of the Murderer's Past Life
Given by Men Who Will
Identify Him.

Murderer FreQerlckS wore more woe
begone look than ever as he sat in Judge
Levy's court yesterday. His reflections
over Sunday evidently disagreed with
him, for he leaned his bandaged head
upon his arms. as though he would weep.
The business of empaneling jury went
on. The courtroom was literally packed
with talesmen, and judging by the rapidity
with which the proceedings are carried on
it would seem that if the jurors only hold
out the twelve will be selected con sider-
ably sooner than was at first anticipated.
Three more jurors were selected yester-
day and now five occupy the box.
As soon as the case was called the al
ready selected jurors. p Van Pelt aud A.
HERMAN. stepped inio the beX. while
Clerk Burke proceeded to call out names.
The old excuse prevailed. Talesman
after taIesman had formed opinions on
the case. until the name of Frank NJ. Pix
ley. the welLknown journalist, was called
out.
= Amy excuse, Mr.. Pixley?"
None. am an atrorney-at-law. but
claim no exemption"
MIR. Plyley satisfied both parties as to
his imparliality, and when the time came
round for peremptory challenges to the
surprise of all Mr.. Pixlev was accepted.
Soon after, this F. Haywood was ac-
cepied, and before the close OF the morn
ing session Phil Archibald, the Market
street livery-stable proprietor, was also
sworn in.
In the afternoon host Of talesmen we're
examined without one beng accepted as a

cused for cause. Among these may be

One hundred more jurors are summoned
for P. NJ. to-day.
The delegation from Nevada County,
escorted by Detective Seymour, went to
the City Prison after the court adjourned
to have look at Fredericks. The sat in
line in front of the desk sergeant and
Seym our brought Fredericks from his cell.
He stood before them with the heavy
bandage over his eye for minute or two
ana they scanned his general appearance
closely then he was taken back to his cell.
Saioon-keeper B0vee of Grass Valley
said he could not positively identify Fred
ericks as the murderer of Sheriff Pascoe,
although in build and general appearance
he resembled the young man who entered
his saloon about an hour before the Sheriff
was shot on the night of June so last. The
stranger came into the saloon about
twenty minutes to 10 and sat down at one
of the tables, with his back to the bar,
without saying word. He picked up tn Q
newspapers and was hurriediy glancing
over them, when three men came in and
seeing the stranger asked him to have a
drink with them. He walked up to the
bar and said he would have glass of beer.
After drinking the beer he LETT the saloon,
and half an hour or so afterward The shots
were heard which told of the Sheriff s
death.
Bovee and Stage-driver Toye, who also
saw the stranger on the night of the muir
der. are to have another good look at Fred
ericks to-day and will also have a CONVEX
satiun with him. The stranger wore a
big black SLOUGH hat which partly con-
cealed his features, and his muStache was
Just beginning to make itself known.
The Sheriff at Grass Valley says there
are two men working on the railroad at
Sacramento who know Frederlcks. They
saw the stranger on the night OF Sheriff
Pascoe's murder. and he will have them
here to-day to see ii they can identify
Fredericks as the stranger.
Ii will be remembered that Fredericks,
in his statement TO Captain Lees. said that
after he learned at MERGED that the break
Visal,a and then to Bakersfield. The
Captain has believed all along that Fred
ericks was not telling the truth, but tina
instead of going south he went north and
was the man who murdered Sheriff Pascoe.
The two men from Sacramento will pos.
sibly settle which is right when they see
FredcrlckS TO-DAY.
