POPLARVILLE, MISSISSIPPI, THURSDAY FEBRUARY g. 1902


jury in the Cooke -Lauderdale case
was impanneled at 1 :15 p. m. The
venire and regular jnry smmoned were
exhausted and some twenty-five OF
thirty persons were summoned from
the cort room.
The defense had exhausted their
right Of challenge when the jury was
filed, while the State had one or two
challenges left.
During the making of the jury one
man, named J. f. Griffin, an en-
ploye of the Y. g. M. " Railroad in
the capacity of section foreman, was
qualified by the court Attorney
Jayne, for the defense, entered mo-
tion to disquality him on the ground
that he was an employe Of the sys-
tenn, and that the head of the sys.
tenn, Mr.. Gilleas, said they would
spend 500, 600 but what he would con-
vict the man who did the murder,
and that he had witnesses to prove it.
Mr.. Percy, for the prosecution,
told him to produce the witnesses,
when he called Mr.. Eugene Richard
to the stand.
When Mr. Jayne asked Mr.. Richard
the question, he said he never heard
Mr.. Gilleas say anything, and did
not remember telling Mr.. Jayne that
he had heard the statement as q ru-
NOR.
Dan F. Leon was then called, and
whsn questioned said he was employ
ed by the Y. g. NJ V. to aid the Dis
trict Attorney in locating the wit
nesses for the State, and that he was
acting under the orders of the Dis
trict Attorney and not the road in the
case; that he did not know whether
or not the Y. & M. V. was part Of,
or belonged to the I. G. road.
Mr.. Leroy Percy was then sworn
ana stated that he had talked to the
roads counsel about the matter; that
the counsel had asked himsif his
being connected with the roa Would
interfere with the jury 5ct or
cause any possible influef1 the
jury as far as the road was 0onc6fhed.
He stated it would not, ana thought it
but right and their duty to help the
State to collect the evidence and proof
against the man who killed passen-
ger while travelling on the train, and
he reported himself to District At
torney Humphreys to aid him in the
casa.
The Judge at first refused to grant
Mr.. Jayne's motion, but before the
jury was formed, for fear that Jenk
ms relationship as foreman might be
taken in the same light before the
law as a clerk in store, allowed
Jenkins to retire, filling his place
with another man.
The jurors selected are: j. W.
Duan, W. r. Jenkins, VIM. Krosno-
