The empanelling of a jury for the
second trial of Albert Johnson the
murderer of !, II. Taylor. was com
menced AT 1870 Thursday afternoon,
November 1G, and Al 80 the follow
ing Saturday afternoon the last juror
was accepted The trouble In select
ing the second jury was due in a great
measure to the interest which had
been taken in the case by the people
of the county. In almost every cont
munity the evidence adduced In the
first trial had been read and discuss
ed and consequently nearly all the
veniremen summoned for jury service
had formed an opinion as to the de
PENDANTS guilt or innocence Three
special venires of 100 men each were
almost completely exhausted before
the jury was secured Only four
jurors We're accepted out of the first
venire One hundred more men were
ordered summoned, but nearly all
of these were excused because of not
being properly served. When the
third list was called for and ordered
by the court Officers rode nearly all
Of Friday night, serving subpoenas
on men TO appear before the court
the next morning for jury duty
Out Of this list the last juror was
selected about 2:30 Saturday after
noon
The evidence in the second trial
was practically the same as adduced
in the first hearing of the case. About
the only variation was that in the
testimony of the defendant, His ae-
count of the ride to town was about
the same as that given in the first
trial, with the exception that he
claimed that Taylor gave him some
money. He did not know how much.
In his second statement he claimed
that he rode with Taylor until they
| turned down the Ennis road A quar-
rel then ensued and Taylor drew his
| knife in threatening manner To
avoid difficulty the defendant
| jumped out of the buggy and came
| back to town.
In this trial, as in the first one,
the negro was subjected to a rigid
cross examination by the pros
| ecuting attorneys After max
| ing a feeble effort to evade
the questions fired at him, he
admitted that he assaulted Tay-
lor, but denied robting him He
| continued TO insist that Taylor gave
him his money He related how he
procured the stick and said ne struck
Taylor one blow with il. He said he
was standing in front OF Taylor when
the blow was inflicted, striking him on
the head just above the left eye Tay-
lor was sitting in his buggy at the
time He took bottle of whisIley
from the buggy and went to the home
of Charley Miller in Freedman.
The argument was concluded about
! :45 Tuesday afternoon The jury
received the courts charge at
o'clock and at 1894 verdict had
been agreed upon. Only two ballots
were taken The first was to fix the
degree of the crime and the other was
10 assess the penalty.
Aimotion for a new trial was filed
in due form. and this was overruled
by the court Notice OF appeal was
then given The case was taken to
the court of criminal appeals, and
while pending before that tribunal
the negro forfeited his appeal by es-
Gaping from the county jail and be-
ing recaptured

Dowdell OF Auburn, president Of the So

confidence, for her religion is so earnest,
her manner so unaffected that she wins
and holds the esteem of her co-workers
