Sheriff Conley and all the deputy sher-
IFS at his command are scattered over
the city to-day serving ~subpoenas in
the special venire or trial jurors which
was ordered late yesterday afternoon by
Judge Napton and made returnable to-
day at 2 O'clock p. m. OF the list of
names given the sheriff nearly all of them
are in the city or else at work in the
Slnelters but some of them are hard to
find. Others are found readily because
a good number are business and profess
sional men. The latter class are the
persons who read the most and are the
less liable to be retained as jurors be-
cause of their knowledge of the case. The
attorneys on either side of the case who
have seen the list of the special venire

disappointed the people and did not
come. Another speaker, 9 Mr.. Dav-
idson, came but was no match for
Mr.. CLARK. Mr.. Davidson lodged the
question, and, in fact, az Mr.. CLARK
said, he only waived the bloody shirt
in the face OF the people and didn't
discuss the subject At ALA subject
the people are anxious to know more
about. Mr.. CLARK handled the quss-
ton very satisfactorily to his party
and made many warm friends. l had
an introduction to the noted Missou-
rian and had intended entertaining
him in picnic style on the grounds
with other friends, but Mr.. Ewing was
called away on important business
that morning and could moi be there.
He was very anxious for me to hear
Mr.. Clark so I could report what be
said. I tried to get a daily paper to
send the LEDGER, but all were taken
before 1 could get to the news stand.
Gov. Nash was present and sat by the
