JURORS DISCHARGED.
sensation Sprung by Judge Murphy
in the Trial of Frank G. An
drews in Detroit

Detroit, Mich, July o. Judge Alfred.
J. Murphy, of the recorders court
created a sensation in the early
proceedings Tuesday for the trial
of Frank C. Andrews, former vice
president of the wrecked City savings
bank, which was to have begun Tues
day morning by dismissing the entire
panel of jurors drawn for the July term
of court.
Judge Murphy said in explanation OF
his action:
Owing to the fact that I have received
certain information affecting members or
the jury summoned to appear in TINS
court this morning, I consider 1t proper
IN the interests of justice, for the sake Or
the defense as well as for the people, to-
dlscharge all the jurors summoned Tor
the rest Of this term. I believe this action
W1ii De approved by all the honest and IN
telngent Jurors. 1t will relieve them fron1t
all suspicion that might be aroused
through the information to which l have
referred.
While it has not developed in court,
it has been rumored that several of the
men on the jury were very friendly
with some of Frank G. Andrews close
political associates. These are the
the rumors that Judge Murphy I'M
doubtedly referred to. However, he
will not go into particulars.
It was agreed Tuesday by counsel for
the defense that f. C. Andrews shoulds
be tried at once on the last preferredF
of the several charges against him,
that of Incorporating $4,000, of the
City savings banks funds, with the stip--
ulation that trial OH the other charges
be deferred, together with the sepa--

King Edward Presses for Early Day
for Carrying Out of Coronation
Ceremonies.

London, July 9.-The news that the
coronation of King Edward was to be-
held before the middle Of August was
published in America before it was,
known here. But the London Times
and other papers confirm the press
announcement. From the same excel
lent source the press learned Tuesday:
that the pressing forward of the cor
onation was due to the personal in--
sistence of the king. His doctors were
at first opposed to such an early date.
but the king declined to agree to any;
other plans, until he is crowned, and
the doctors, finally realizing that more~
danger was likely to arise in opposing
his majesty on this point, agreed to"
it. They now see the king was right
and that it will be far better for him.

coronation as soon as possible, than to-
