the twelve men and5dseharge them.
He started his little speech, but was in
terrupted by Foreman Brown. of the first
panel, who advanced and in a neat speech
presented him, on behalf Of the jury, with a
magnificent basket of flowers. Assistant

floral tributes were purchased, each re-
ceiving a beautiful bouquet, while Clerk
Joseph Harper was presented With fine

Judge Miller then thanked the jury. After
Messrs. .MuIlowney and Pugh had made some
appropriate remarks there was a general
