REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 12.-The mat ter of selecting a jury in the case of the People vs. Harry Winters, for the murder of c. A. Andrews, was resumed this morning before Judge Buck. But five jurors had been accepted last night. The remainder were chosen shortly after the noon recess to-day. Those sworn to try the case are the following: G. Plump, William Plump, Chase Littlejohn, John Heaney, M. Crow, William Chapel, George Win ters, J. w. Glennan, Henry Mourot, C.. l.. Gould, P. Nealon and Ben Smith.
 After District Attorney Walker had stated to the jury what he expected to prove. he called Patrick Ferriter, pro- prietor of the Grand Hotel. who testi- fled that he had seen the defendant in South San Francisco three different times, the first time on the 9th or 10th of November, the second time on the afternoon and evening of November 18th and the last time about o'clock on the morning of November r. He positively identified the defendant as the man seen by him on these different occasions. He related the circumstance of this last visit minutely and fully. and with the aid of a map or plan of the second story of the Grand Hotel building, showed where and how he met the supposed robber and murderer.
 About 2 o'clock In the morning Fer ritter said he was awakened by the growing and barking of his dog, which sleeps at the door of his bedroom. He jumped out of bed and opened the door and observed a man standing about five feet away. He spoke to him and asked him what he wanted there at that time of night. Winters, for Fer ritter recognized him, said he wished to procure a quart of whisky and asked the proprietor to go down and get it for him. Ferriter refused to do so and told him to> get out or the dog would eat him up.
 They started together toward the stairs, Ferriter going in that direction to silence his dog, fearing the noise would wake up the boarders. He went on down the hall, and on returning mo- ticed a man in crouching position. He suspected something wrong, nor were his suspicious groundless, for when he reached position almost op- posite the party he was commanded to threw up his hands. Instead of com plying he jumped at the man and grasped him by the arm. He succeed ed in wrestling the revolver from his ndIQ anu lHeI Cdileu IOT
 They were wrestling back and forth in the hall when John Ferriter came
 out of his room, and together they succeeded in getting the man down. A man by the name of McNamara also came out of his room, attracted by the noise. Ferriter then called for a l light and C. A. Andrews opened his | door and started toward the men with
 a candle. That Winters had a pal is | very evident, for when they were scuf- ! fling on the floor some one down the stairs shouted. Let my pal go or I'll
 riddle you with bullets" As Andrews | came forth with the light this second
 man, who is identified as the man | Raymond, commenced firing. He dis | charged four shots from his revolver,
 which wounded Connolly and killed | Andrews. The man Winters escaped l from his captors and fled in the dark ness.
 That robbery was the motive ap- | peared from the fact that Winters was | in the hotel on the afternoon of the | 16th and heard remarks made that that | day was payday at the Packing Works
 and that Ferriter would have consid-
 erable money, about $500, in the build ing.
 The court adjourned before Ferriter had completed his testimony.
 Attorney Nagle is liable to be in contempt of court for speaking with
 one who last night was a prospective juror. It happened on the train going
 north and the Constable from South San Francisco overheard the remarks
 passed between the parties and in formed the court this morning. What action the court will take in the mat ter remains to be seen.
