STARTLING DECISION.

He says that there Has Never Been a

be Released from Custody Bad state
of affairs.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, November
Ia. - Startling revelations were
brought out here to-day in the Grim
inal Court on the hearing of prelimin-
airy motions in the john Earr case.
Farr is deputy United States mar
shall, prominently known, and In an
alteration with Owen Ross. city pa
troll driver, last July, shot aud killed
the latter. Fairs case was set for
trial last Thursday, but Judge
Matthews dismissed the whele jury
panel on account of glaring irregular
titles and ordered the jury commission
ers TO make an entirely new panel,
which it did, and the new jurors were
| summoned to appear in court to-day
this being the time set for the hearing
| of the Farr case.
The hearing to-day was quite sensa
tional The attorneys for Farr
charged that the new jury panel was
irregular and Illegal, because the
Criminal Court never had. in its long
existence, appointed any jury COM
missioners, and that the court had
never had legal jury since its ten
years existence. In this time a hun
bred or more prisoners have been sent
to the State penitentiary illegally.
Already attorneys are being employ
ed by friends and relatives of convicts
to secure new trials, which means Ia
most cases their release. The situa-
! tion is one. without a parallel.
