There was produced as evidence today
a basketful of pieces OF metal. These frag-

Detective Merrill told where and how he

The illega ltty assigned is that two OF

town of Richmond. were not selfcied
from the list OF Jurors drawn from said

The state demurred TO the plea.
Judge TillinRhast who writes the opih-
ion Of the court. says;
1T appears from the plea that jurors
I'm ouestiO were probably drawn by the
order ,of a Justice OF this court. and that
they were properly qualified TO serve as
grand jurors, This being so We do not
think that the mere fact that they were
not selected by the town clerk from the
list drawn In the order In which their

cases OF Eugene w. Mason. trustee for
Emma A. Taft, rs. Orray Taft, ct al, ad-

Besides the administrators the appeal is
contested by George u. Collins ct al, as
executors OF the will OF Rebecca A.

IL is agreed by both sides that the ad-
ministrators did not interpose this de-

by such n construction of the law as VII
