terday in the empaneling of jury for
the Jones murder trial, filling the va
cant place existent when the court OPP
ened at 10 a. IN. Then came another
peremptory challenge, It being the turn
OF the defense, which caused an ex-
returned the same day.
Barring the grand jurors not yet re-
leased. there We're but four more names
of the years list of $50 remaining.
These were men not yet called in the
Jones case and Judge Robinson order
ed a special venire to issue for their
appearance at o'clock this afternoon.
to which hour the trial was forthwith
continued. The expectation of having
report from the grand jury yesterday
afternoon, when it's members were to
be summoned for trial jury duty, was
not realized and Judge Robinson init
mated a probability that these score or
so of jurors would not be available be-
fore tomorrow morning.
At the morning session there was re-
markable agreement of sides in excus-
ing jurors for cause. Those let out on
examination were Henry Publ G. d.
Malone, Patrick Ryan, j. o. Carter, Jr.,
f. o. X East, ]. D. Tucker, W. Mat
lock Campbell, Jos. j. Dias, George
Kalaluhi, Charles Kapule. John An
drews, Starr Kapu, Jessin Andrade and
r. w. Davis.
Alex. Lyle passed for cause by con-
sent of both sides after Andrade had
been excused.
j. NJ. Webb was peremptorily chal-
lenged by the defense.
Edmund Norrie was called but eXcus-
ed because he sat on the trial of Jones
last term for the murder of Mrs. Par
menter. The calling of Davis emptied
the trial jury box, when there remained
three challenges without cause to the
prosecution and seven to the defense.
A special venre was then ordered,
containing the names of fifteen jurors
released from Judge DE Bolts panel,
which was made returnable at p. m.
The new venire was returned at
p m. but its material vanished like a
neglected block of ice at the kitchen
door. George Dillingham; was excused
for good reason given without exam
ination.
On challenges for cause by the prose-
cution Jos. Andrade C. II Clapp, Thos.
r. Collins, VIM. II. McInerny and ID. J.
Styne retired. Clapp, McInerny and
Styne We're opposed to capital punish
ment.
j. G. AXtell and c. j. Ludwigsen
We're excused on motion of the defense
for cause. Both sides agreed on ex-
cusing John Kidwell, who had been
excused on the former Jones murder
trial.
Sam X. Alli, who had served on many
civil jury trials this term, was now
excused for want of sufficient familiar
ity with the English language.
