Of tnese, thlee-Gus Bry. ant. the reputed captain of Glide Jn's band: Jim Eell and Rice Jayroe-an- nounced that they were ready for trial. The defense employed Judge X. w. Nichols. of this city, to assist in this. the most desperate of the contests that will take place. The entire day was
 onsnmed in getting jury.
 Only one witness, the negro AlexaD- der was examined. He told substan i. ally tue same s.ory that he did in the first trial. The prosecution claims that in every essential detail the testi. mony of Alexander was supported by confessions of Gus Bryant and Jim Bell before the St. Francis county grand jury.
