STEVENS CASE STARTED
Was Secured Just Before the
Noon Hour After the Panel
Had Been Exhausted.

With Judge j. W. Jones. of the
Sioux Falls circuit, on the bench,
circuit court opened Thursday for
the crial OF Fred L. Stevens, of
PlankintOn, who is charged with hay-
ing received deposits in the bank
when he knew the Institution to be
inSOlvcnt. The failure of the bank
occurred about four years ago, and
two years ago Mr.. Stevens was con-
yicted of the charge in this county,
the IA having been brought here on
a change OF venue. After being sem
fenced to four and a half years in
the ~penitentiary the c ase was taken
to the supreme court, which ordered
that the defendant be given another
trial. This should have been held
last May, but owing to the illness
Of Mrs. Thos. Bray, the states leads
ing witness, the case was adjourned
to the present term. The counsel for
the defense filed an affidavit for the
defendant asking for a new judge on
the ground that he could not secure
an impartial trial, consequently
Judge Jones is presiding for Judge
Smith.
The first work to take up on the
case was the securing Of a jury and
at the outset it appeared that there
would be much difficulty in securing
twelve men to hear the evidence, as
the ii Il Xix or eight were rejected.
At l." >.3t.i:oach Of noon eleven Jurors
had r,.,.. secured and the names of
the regular jury had been exhausted,
so the court informed the sheriff to
call in more men. Three were called
and finally Geo. A. Thomas was ac-
cepted. The jury is composed of the
following: E. Cornwall, Paul Graft,
Dan Lilly, q. W. Anderson, Albert
Stevens, August Coop, Asa Dodd. J.
W. Campbell, A. B. Nickel, A.
WittsUruck, G. J.. Allen, and Geo, A.
Thomas.
Fred Stevens is defended by four
attorneys, Judge Fellows and ". c..
Cook, of Plankinton, Judge Aikens,
of Sioux Falls, and A. e. Hitchcock,
of this city. Preston & Hannett, of
this city, are conducting the prosecu-
ton for the state. Two years ago

sisted them as states attorney for
Aurora county but since then his
term of office has expired, and he was
succeeded by Judge Fellows, of
Plankinton. MI. Fellows is placed
in a peculiar position at this time in
defending Mr.. Stevens when as states
attorney his place should be with the
prosecution. He was engaged by the
defense long before he was elected
states attorney and in justice to his
client he could not well attend to
