claimed that he also killed Walter Alkirc
at the same time He is being tried on
the charge Of numbering Crawford, first,

Later he may be tried for killing Alkrc.
One hundred jurymeu have been sub

Up to noon about 80 prospective jurors
had been examined, and il is not likely
that jury will be secured today. AS the
accused is a relative Of County Attorney

The double murder with which Sheelcy
is charged is said to have grown out Of
trivial matter. The request for match is
said to have started the trouble that re
suited in the taking of two lives Sheclcy
is said to have been under the influence Of
liquor and to have asked one Of the dead
men for match in Reels livery stable at
Pony A slap on the face Of Shcelcy, de
livercd by one of the dead men, angered
him and he procured a pistol, killing one
instantly and wounding the other so seri-
ously that he died in short time.
Many of the jurymcn excused thus far
in the trial appear to have opinions as to
the justice Of the charge against Shccley
from being familiar with the incidents in
the case.
