GETTING A GRIFFIN JURY
Ncnircmcn Have Opinions. but Be-
licve They Could he Fnir--TriaI
Begins Wednesday.

MARYV1LLE, Mo-, Oct. 9.-(Special Tele-
gram.) )-The examination of the 100 venire-
men from whom the jury to try c. G. Jesse
for tho murder of Frank Gritlin, is to be
drawn, began in the Nodaway county circuit
court at 10 o'clock this morning. Practically
all admitted they had either formed or ex-
pressed an opinion respecting the case, but
most of them said they believed they could
return fair verdict. a large number avowed
themselves opposed to capital punishment.
Jesse looks thinner and paler than when
incarcerated in Jail in April, He has
watched all the proceedings today with in
tense interest and appears to have little
hope. 1t is evident from the answers made
by veniremen that sentiment in the county
outside Of Maryville is strongly against
him. No member either of his or Griffin S
family has been in the court room today.
Court adjourned this evening until
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock to give the
lawyers time to make their peremptory
challenges. The hearing of evidence will
then begin.
