Attorney General Tanner Wins in Con-
tests Over Use Of Coroner's Report
to Refresh Memory Of Witnesses.

A jury was secured shortly before
ii o'clock to-day for the trial Of Amos
ID. Palmer, indicted for the murder OF
his wife. Addie M. Palmer, on the 18th
of last February. The court room up
to that time was filled with Jurors and
the witnesses for the State and the de-
fence were crowded out On the re-
tirement of the jurors the witnesses
were given places i'm the room where
their services would be needed. There
were not as much trouble in securing
jurors this morning as there was yes
terday afternoon. The jury Is a re-
markaby good looking one, and both
the attorney general and counsel for
the defence are we'll satisfied with its
makeup. IL became very evident to-
day that the big trial will turn on two
points. The chief OF these Is. was
PalMer simply drunk when he shot
his wife or was he insane.
There was a big fight on the question
OF whether the attorney general coulo
ask witnesses who gave testimony be-
fore the coroner of Cranston, to refresh
their memories from, the report of the
coroner. The counsel for the denfence
gave reasons why this report of Cor
oner Hawkins was OF little use. Attor-
h@y General Tanner kept TO the oIN
point that he was seeking TO bring the
report In only t:1ht he might have wit
nesses refresh their memory. He Won
on the first objection, the second OBJ
lection and az long as his opponents
kept up the fight on this point.
