days sitting of the court only eleven
Jurors were selected to pass upon the
guilt or innocence of Arthur L. Bishop.
the young man of Petersburg, who stands
charged with the murder of Thomas J.
Wilson.
Bishop entered the court room at 10
o'clock in charge of deputy sheriff. He
was accompanied by his father, ]. C..
Bishop, of Petersburg, who is a mail

Promptly at 1920 O'Clock Solicitor
Webb arose and read the warrant charg-
ing Bishop with the murder of Wilson
'and later notified the prisoner of his
rights in challenging the jurors as they
came to the book. Though all of this
Bishop maintained his self -comDosure.
Just as the name of the first Juror was
called Mrs. Wilson, widow of the dead
man, her daughter, Miss Ada Wilson, and
ten-year- old son came inside of the bar
of the court and took seats in rear of
the solicitor and counsel for the State
Mrs. Wilson caught Bishops eye ana

affected, did not show her grief as much
as the mother. Bishop sat unmoved
talking to his father and occasionally
with one of his lawyers.
Questions asked the members of the
special venire brought out the fact that
there exists in MeCklenburg strong
feeling against Bishop. Thirty-fiye out
of so examined as to their competency
to sit on the jury, stated that they had
formed and expressed the opinion that the
prisoner was guilty of the crime as
charged in the bill of Indictment Sew
eral stated that they had read numerous
newspaper accounts of Bishops escapade
and did not think they could give him
a fair trial. In consequence of this the
entire VERNE was exhausted before a
jury was gotten.

Neal ordered another venire of % men
to select the twelfth juror from.
The case will in all probability con-
sumo all of Saturday, Monday and por-

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Cal.cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
Your Money Back u Il Does Not Cure.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of silvara, Pa.
formerly of RoXbury, n Y, writing to DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
"Your He1O medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
Is wonderful. 1t cured me Of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot OF
weary dosing with things that did no good.
II is a record breaker and no mistake.n
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble.
It is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys and liver and at the same time ex-
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
reliable remedy for rheumatism aud the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause, therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
If your druggist does not have Cal-oura
Solvent, write TO the Calcium Company,
Rondout, NY; but ask your druggist first.
Sl.00 a bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee; Your druggist will return
your money If Cal-cura fails 10 cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay the drug
