three daughter, have come from their
farm to be present at the trial. Nine
jurors were selected yesterday. and IL
is expected the remaining three viii be
chosen today Out of a panel of 100 a
score did not respond at all. and of tie
others nearly sixty wanted 10 be ez-
cused from Jury duty. Judge DevendorfT
fearing depletion of the panel, command
ed all of those who could be legally re-
tanned TO go back 10 their seats. The
fact that a mans business would suffer
by his sitting on the jury had no weight
with the court

When Gillette entered the court room

anxiety as 10 the outcome of the trial.
The prisoner has many relatives. some
of wealth and social prominence in
Cortland. but it looks as though he
would go through his ordeal unaided-
Y. II. Gillette, the uncle who con
ducts the factory in which Chester and
Grace. Brown were employed, has been
subpoenaed as a witness against the
prisoner. He at first tried TO aid the
accused, but suddenly withdrew his
help owing. it is said TO his wife's
declaration that the family should not
be dragged deeper into the sensation
than was necessary. The lawyers who
are defending Gillette were appointed
by the county and the county will pay
for them,
"Oh," said Mrs Brown, the dead
girls mother, Il wish that 1 were the
one to say what should be done to him.
To think that he would kill an innocent
little girl like my Oracle. Suicide;

other reason for waiting 10 stay IL

PORTER LANDS PLACE.
viii Succeed Ben Colbert as Marshal
in Southern District.


Washington, o. c., Jan. 25.-The
President win appoint A. X. Porter. of
Muskogee, to succeed Ben Colbert as
marshal of the Southern district OF
Indian Territory. Mr.. Porter Is now
in the Office of the Dawes commission.
He is cousin of Mrs. Roosevelt.
The President has taken occasion
to say to those who have called on
him relative to this appointment. taht
the decision to give the place TO Mr..
Porter is not significant of any opinion
as to the iustness Of the indictments
against Mr.. colb-.t.
1t may be said as apropos of the
case that the President has radically
modified his policy as to the appoint
ment of Rough Rider applicants for
offices.

ton asking for separate statehood they
created scarcely ripple on the sur
face OF legislation, and the Indians
have not one chance In thousand OF
securing recognition in the matter OF
statehood.
The stand taken BY Chief Porter In
1889 was several years before the al.
lotment OF land In seyeralty had been
proposed, and at that time there was
no thought that the government would
ever negotiate treaties with the In
dians OF the fve civilized tribes In
Indian Territory dissolyng tribal re-
lations At that time Indian Terri
tory included all Of Oklahoma, so
that the question OF joint statehood
had not come up.
At intervals after that date spas
modic effors were made in the E-ec-
tion of statehood. but the great work
Of the Dawes commission in allotIng
the lands Of the Indians occupied the
attention Of most OF the people Of
Indian Territory and precluded the
possibility of statehood until condi-
tions were more settled.
Eight years ago the people OF IN
dian Territory gathered at South Nc
Alester to celebrate washington's
birthday in a practical way. They dis.
cussed the necessity of legislation to
remove the restrictions and also OF
statehood legislation.
The strenuous campaign for state
hood and the removal Of restrictions,
so far as Indian Territory was con-
cerned. began in earnest three years
ago. In July of that year a joint
statehood convention was held at
Shawnee, attended by delegates from
both territories. In this year also In
dian Territory people first decided to
send statehood boomers to Washing
ton, a practice that has not been de-
parted from since, and has been some
what oYerdone.
Each year since joint statehood con.
ventions have been held In both ter
ritories and the people have been
straining every nerve to secure state
hood. but in vain Statehood boomers
by hundreds have stormed the cita-
dels Of national legislation, only to re-
turn disappointed and be compelled
to tell their people how 1t happened.
