 H. B. Ketchum.
 Forty-seven jurymen have been exam ined thus far but only eleven have been agreed to by both sides. Five of them were chosen on Wednesday, so all of yes- terday was consumed in obtaining six.
 Special Venlre.
 The special venire of forty-one men was exhausted yesterday morning at n:S5 o'clock, and the court ordered the jury box brought in and twelve names were drawn from 1t to form another special venire
 Twelve deputies were sent out after the men, all of whom lived within two miles of the court house, which the law re- quires in such cases.
 Five of the men were found to be out of the state, one was out of the county and the other six were presented to the court at the opening of the afternoon session at o'clock.
 Deputy Sheriff Stradford was compli- mented by the court on the quick and efficient summons of the men. The law requires that in such special cases the
 
 double the number required to complete the jury being formed. In the case yes- terday two would have been enough to conform to the statute.
 None of the six qualified.
 Interest in tho case seems to grow from day to day. for the crowd in attendance yesterday was larger than on any pre- x,fo, da ho1 to order the bailiff to clear out the front aisle.
 Peculiar Incident.
 The acceptance of c. L. f1uey as a juryman by both sides yesterday morn ing calls to mind peculiar incident. The court ordered the deputy sheriff to go out and get a man to take the place was c. L. Huey, a conductor on the Bir- mingham Mineral railroad. MT. Huey was taken into custody and brought into court with his market basket on his arm.
 That is the first time such means have been used to obtain juryman in Jeffer- son county for about fifteen years, or since the famous trial of pr. John Davis. An interesting feature of MT. Hueys case is the fact that he proved acceptable to the court. and to both sides, and was impaneled on the jury early yesterday morning.
 A number of relatives of the defendant. Glen Havis, and of the co-defendant, Will liam Wise. were present both morning and afternoon. Among those attending in the afternoon were: Mrs. Eiseman of Virginia. niece of Mrs. William Wise; Miss Wise. sister of the co-defendant; Mrs. Steinau of Monroe, La, also a sis ter; MT. and Mrs. A. Wise, their parents; MT. and Mrs. E. M. Havis. parents of the defendant, and Mrs. William Wise.
 At the afternoon session the special venire of twelve was placed in the hat and the drawing began The names and results of the drawing are as follows:
 J. W. Savage, not found; J. F. Bra zeal, excused by the defense; Jim Cos tellos, M. L. Mewhenney, w. R. Work, Dan Donhaune and J. D. Taylor were not found; George w.
