OBTAINED
Murder Trial May Have
TO Go Over--Couft
Proceedings.

Another day passed without obtaining
a jury to try Takada for murder in
Judge Lindsay's court A special
venire for thirty jurors was issued, re-
turnabIe this morning. Should these not
furnish enough to complete the jury,
the jurors of Judge De Bolt and Judge
Robinson's lists will have to be drawn
upon. The Territory has still three, and
the defense four, peremptory challenges
available. AS several men may have
to be called to obtain one passing ex-
animation for cause, the prospects of
obtaining a jury at all this term are
not beyond the region Of doubt.

continued for the term, one was placed

assigned to Judge Robinson and two
