The Liberal Murder Case

After three days hard work in try
ing to secure a jury for the case
State of Kansas VS.. w. l. Combs,
for murder, the district court was un-
able to find the required number of
Jurors to hear the case. A special
venire of about I45 jurors was issued,
but the list of all available jurors
was exhausted before the jury was
complete. This is the first failure
to secure a jury that has occurred in
the district since Judge VIM. Easton
Hutchison has presided. The at
torneys for the state made motion
for a continuance of the case until
the next regular term of court which
sits in May 1908. The motion was
sustained. The defendant was plac-
ed under a bond of IS, 900 and
number of the state witnesses were
placed under bond to make appear
ance at the next term of the district
court.
Upon the announcement from the
clerk of the court Judge Hutchison
made the statemen in substance as
follows; The court has called in a
special venire of I45 jurors without
being accurate in the estimate.
There are IS parties who would be,
generally speaking, eligable for jury
duties, who are witnesses in behalf
of the state, and approximately, 10
on behalf of the defendant. These
figures are not accurately cor
rect, making the number of witness
es about 40. All in the county have
been called except the three county
commissioners and the court officers.
Since making out the last venire of
AZ which was supposed to contain
every name in the county that was
available, there was found probably
IL, some of whom are questionable
as to their residence. The list of IL
was submitted to the state, but it
was cancelled by the counsel that
not enough of them would pass the
examination for cause. There is
need for six more jurors to complete
this panel, assuming that the defense
will exercise all its challenges
