 The fifty Jurors from which the panel will be taken that will hear thas trolley cases were drawn in New Ha- ven yesterday afternoon by Clerk Marsh of the superior court and the county sheriff. To-day the warrants Will De issued to the sheMffs to serve and then copies Of the list will hs dls= uiDuted to the counsel in tho casos. This is the latest development fn tl4a so-called trolley cases. Subpoenas have not been issued for the bows xvi1a testified against the strikers in the lower court. These boys are prisoners as we'll as the strikers. They stand charged with the crime of assault with intent to murder the strike breakers Merna and Morrissette, just ag wen as the eight strikers are. There is nc mystery regarding their absence from town. They have been away for soma time fishing here and there and enjoy Ing themselves as boys of their ara usually do at this time of the year, af they are fortunate enough to have the time. As sIbpoenas were not issued for their apprehension, 14 was imposslz ble for any officer of the law to De ofa I fro %h<N them before the court next Tuesday. Assistant States Attorney Kellogg was asked this morning if the boys were regarded as prisoners or witnesses for the state, and he replied that he could not say which. As they stand bound over to the superior court they are re- garded as prisoners and an authority in the case stated this morning thae they will be on hand when they ara wanted.
 Even Wolcott will be there. IL is now said that this young man, whose disappearance from &the city about q month ago caused some comment. and his continued absence still gives rise to some comment, is now, and has been for some time, In the employ Of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go. but in such capacity that he Is not engaged in actual labor for that cou- cern- From the first 1t has been said that this young man would turn state's evidence, and now there is said to be no further doubt about 1t in certain quarters, that he is an possession 0f every detail of the gatherings that used to take place in his pool room ifl the west end, where it has been said the plan of assault to have sssome fun with the strike breakerss was ar- ranged.
 It is acknowledged by counsel for the defense that the state did not dis- close all of its evidence at the hearing in the city court, only just sufficient that would bind the accused over to the superior court; and it will be re membered, also, that Wolcott was not pjut on the stand at that hearing. ThB states object in this was to keep from the defense the principal evidence in it's possession.
 Judge Burpee was asked If he knew where the boys are, and he replied: 'No, don't; but guess you do. Find out where Howard Dennis is and you will find the boys, he laughingly said. and away he went.
 The subpoenas for the boys as wit4 nesses for the state against the strikers were given to Sheriff Rigney this force noon and he at once started in search for them. Some of them, 1t Is saids are in town.
 It is expected that this afternoon or evening Willis Vandemark will be re~ leased from Jail on bail.
 ]. Notwithstanding the repeated deniaiS of the representatives of the trolley company that it has any interest In the cases, now that they are in the hands of the state, they appear to know great deal connected with the de- fense and nothing at all about what the state intends doing. Detective Rogers spends good deal of his time in consultations with representatives of the trolley company, even though the case is now in the hands Of tbo state.
