MAY TAKE
TWO WEEKS
To Obtain a Jury
for Trial of
Jones.

There were only sixteen Jurors avail
able in the trial box from which to
begin empaneling jury for the trial
of +. M. Jones, charged with the muir
der OF Linda X. Jones. With two
jurors passed on examination for cnuse
the list was exhausted at 2:s0 in the
AFTERNOON. Nina of those drawn are
yet to be examined Clerk Simonton.
by direction OF Judge Robinson, is
sued a special verlire for fifty jurors
returnable at 10 o'clock this morning
1t is thought likely that jury may
Eot be obtained for two weeks. Sew
eral jurors will probably, on the aver
age, have to be called to fill the place
of each juror let out for cause. Then,
when twelve men have passed for
cause the prosecution may turn out
six men and the defense twelve, under
peremptory challenges, and every new
juror called has to undergo the ordeal
of examination for cause why he
should not sit on the Jury.
OTHER CRIMINAL MATTERS.
Judge Robinson has assigned a con-
siderable number of criminal cases to
Judge De Bolt. Among them is that
of Geneau for murder.
Eugenio Arroyo will be sentenced
for manslaughter in the first degree
at $3.50 tomorrow.
BILLS OF PARTICULARS.
There was hearing before Judge
Robinson yesterday afternoon on the
motions for bills of particulars in the
cases of Vivian Richardson ana Chang
GQnarpl patarS
contends, in the Richardson case, that
where an Indictment for embezzlement
names the amount of money taken a
bill of particulars cannot be granted.
A side issue he raised was that the
motion was not supported by affida-
Wits. AS the court did not wish to see
the main contention complicated on
appeal with minor points, he granted
A. G. NJ. Robertson, counsel for de-
PENDANT until January 30 to furnish
affidavits.
