of the State of Missouri against
Arthur Spaugh, charged with the

called and the defendant ordered
brought in. Immediately upon
the defendant being brought into
court the State, through Prosecut-

tense, at this point filed with the
clerk an affidavit sworn to by the
defendant and supported by afi-
davits from John NJ. Russell and
Joseph P. McNail, asking for a
change of venue, alleging that the
Judge, Hon. Joseph j. Williams,
was bias and prejudiced against
the defendant, and would not give
him a fair trial. After hearing the
reading of the attidayits a recess
was taken for thirty minutes. The
affidavit of Arthur Spaugh was
dated Monday, July 10th, while
the affidavits of the supporting
witnesses were dated about June
18th, or one month earlier. Wher

for the change OF venue before an
other Judge was overruled. The
Judge remarked, in passing upon
the matter, that he had anticipated
that he would be disqualified from
trying the case, and had the ap-
plication been in proper form he
would have called in Judge Samuel
Davis, of Marshall, with whom he
had previously consulted, and who
could have been here within three
days. The examining of the jurors
was ordered begun, when Attorney
Frazier asked for a delay until
Tuesday morning until Attorney
Williams, one of the defendants
lawyers, could arrive. This was
denied, and when an adjournment
was taken for the night several of
the panel Of forty had been Sc
cured. The attorneys for the de-
PENDANT, late Monday evening,
served notice on Judge Williams
that they would apply to the Su-
preme Court for a writ of prohibi-
ton to prevent him from trying
the case, and Attorney Clark i'm
mediately departed for Jefferson
City, where he made application
for the writ before Judge CAN'T.
The issuance was denied and At
torney Clark returned to-day.
Tuesday morning the attorneys
for the defense presented new Aft
davits from the same parties as
above, renewing their application
for a change of venue, which was
overruled. The panel of forty was
completed Tuesday evening at
about 4 o'clock. The full twenty
four hours allowed by law in
which to make the challenges was
taken up, and the jury of twelve
was not announced until about the
same hour Wednesday evening.
Following is the personnel of the
jury: Andrew Rayfield, j. FL.
Shocky, Henry Pennington, Ham
or Gaskin, Walter Jackson, Glad
den Albert, Barney Losh, G. w.
Sullivan, Joe Black, G. w. Kyle,
j. l.. Barton and Albert Gregory.
Thursday morning the taking of
evidence was begun, and when
court adjourned for the night
nearly all of the State witnesses
had been heard. The evidence is
virtually the same as that adduced
at the trial of William Spaugh in
November. All of the witnesses
testified in a straightforward and
convincing manner, and the opin-
ion prevails that a stronger case
could not have been made against
the defendant. Thursday evening
a telegram vas received from the
jailer OF the city of st. Louis re-
fusing to obey a writ of habeas
corpus to produce William Spaugh,
who is confined in jail there, in
court here this friday morning.
Upon court converting this morn
ing an order was made directing
Sheriff Jordan to go to st. Louis
and get him. Spaugh is wanted
by the defense as a witness.
Sheriff Jordan and Deputy Goggin
departed for St. Louis at 10 o'clock
this morning, and there will not
likely be anything further done in
court until their return.
