Today.
-FOUR CHALLENGES
LEFT DEFENDANT
Government Seems Satisfied With
Jurors and Has Exercised
Mo Challenges.

Eight men of the twelve who will
pass upon the guilt or innocence or
Tanbara Gisaburo are on the jury which
was in the box at the adjournment OF
United States court yesterday after
noon. The defendant has four more
challenges to exercise and and these
names will be picked from the ten
talesmen secured last evening by Mar
twenty and the additional ten tales
men drawn by the marshal in the
afternoon were exhausted yesterday
by the challenges of the defense.
United States Attorney Breckons has
so far exercised none of the challenges
permitted to him under the statute,
and appears satisfied with the jurymen
as they come into the box. He still
has but one peremptory challenge
which he can exercise, but it is doubt
full if he does so, and the jury to hear
the case should be impaneled and
sworn before the adjournment at noon
today.
