Juror Cornell to the Judge.

Juror Cornell to the Judge.
When court convened this morning,
Juror Cornell arose and said that he had
overlooked informing the court of one
thing yesterday. Five or six weeks ago
he had an attack of eczema, but thought
that he was over with it. The great
heat of the court room yesterday had
brought on another attack and he was
unable to sit still when suffering from
the heat. He had consulted a physician
this morning and had letter from him
which he handed to the court.
Judge Cray read the letter and said
that he would let the matter rest until
noon.
t General Childs said that Judge Web
Der, at the first trial, had installed two
electric ventilators. Judge Cray SAID
that the court house is not wired for
electricity.
Mr. Abbott suggested that those con
nected with the case be allowed to take
off their coats if it could be done with
due courtesy to the court.
Judge Cray said that there were la
dies in the court room and regard should
be had for them.
F. A. Cornell, proprietor of restaur-
! ant at Amboy, was challenged by the
defense for implied bias. The defense
endeavored to show that the talesman
had engaged County Attorney Wilson to
do some work for Amboy village and
that he would be biased in favor of Mr.
Wilson. The latter brought out the fact
that he was giving his attention to the
case as county attorney before he had
been spoken to by Mr.. Cornell The
defense then challenged for actual bias
and the talesman was found to have an
opinion and was excused.
General Childs arose and said that the
statutes preclude the court from charg
ing the triers in any other way than as
| they prescribe. He would like to make
a statement as to what they contem
plate.
Mr.. Clark objected to this in presence
of the jury.

with the diocese of Dallas and he worked
very faithfully for the past six years. His
church and parsonage were burned about
a year and half ago and the heroic efforts
he made to save the contents, especially
the altar and sacred vessels caused him
to contract a celd which his weakened
constitution could not repel The work
and his delicacy were too much for him

Iowa, but not receiving any benefit there
he came to Sutton, August IS last, and
