Attorney Kennedy, counsel for the accused said he would be ready in about three weeks. The court set them down for for one week from Tuesday, at 11.15 O clock. MT Kellogg said he could hardly be able to get the states side ready by that time, on account Of en- agreements in court all the rest of the week. Judge Wheeler, however. would not change the date assigned, and at the request of MT Kennedy, ordered an extra panel of twenty four jurors.
