The trial OF Henry Magruder for assault
ing Mrs. Mamie L.. Banengee began IN

the general expectation, no difficulty was
experienced In obtaining jury. The fol-
lowing gentlemen wero found free from

The prosecution has not yet completed
its case. but up TO the present has ~
completely woven the web around the
prisoner that there seems to be no escape
whatever from the conclusion that he is
guilty. lie has been fully Identified as a
man who was seen lOanng around TIE
place before the crime was committed and
Mrs. Bailengee positively IDENTITIES him
as the man who attacked her Some
Of the descriptions given are dramatic In

the prisoner WAS seen on his way 70 the
house OF Mrs. Ballengce on the morning
of the crime by two parties. that no at
