1T don't blame the jury. IT was the only
thing it could do under the circumstances,
declared Harrison Clark, the negro con-
victed of the murder of Street Car Con-
ductor Flury, Thursday morning.
Clark talked somewhat freely about the
case. He is dissatisfied because his attor-
neys would not let him run the case, and
he does not hesitate to say so.

Most of Clarks objections to the way
his case was handled relate TO questions
he wanted asked on cross-eXaminatiOn, but
none of these questions related to very
material evidence. He declared he was
feeling good he could be expected to
feel under the circumstances. He occupies

These twelve jurors were sworn at $40
o'clock yesterday afternoon to try Joe
Warren, charged with being one Of the
sccomplices of Jay oHearn in the murder
of Nels Lausten during the holdup OF
Lausten's saloon at Twenty-first and Cum
ing streets on the night of January 20. 1t
was expected at the start that It would
require two days to secure the jury, but
the defense and state waived the last four
or five challenges and accepted the jury
as IL stood at the evening adjournment.
An hour before the jury was secured the
regular panel Of jurors was exhausted and
Sheriff Mcdonald and his deputies were
sent out to bring in talesmen. The first
man nabbed by the sheriff was G. @. wal
lace, the real estate man, who had gone
to the court house on business. Mr.. Wal
lace protested against going, but the sheriff
insisted and he was taken to the court
room. He was about to be accepted as a
Juror when he made a statement to the
court, saying he had come TO the court
house on business relating to the water
company appTaisement as real estate ad-
wiser TO the appraisers and had some mat
tiers he had to report on at once He was
excused by the court. Seven talesmen were
examined before the jury was secured.
This morning the taking Of evidence will
begin. The state will use Raymond Nelson
who testified in the O'Hearn case, as one
Of it's principal witnesses in this case and
the defense has asked that Jay O'Hearn
who was convicted by jury and given the
death penalty. and Leo Angus another &C
complete, who pleaded guilty and accepted
a life sentence, be brought from Lincoln
to testify in behalf of Warren.
II will be the contention of the defense
that Warren did not have a gun on the
night of the murder and that he did not
remain at the post at the rear door of the
saloon where he was stationed but ran
away before the shooting was done. 1t is
also asserted he was not member of the
gang, but was picked up by II on the night
of the murder

Mr. Kohlsaat said he had received en-

necessary by the several states. To this
end we wish to give what information we
can to the executives of the states in order
that they may make what recommended

message to the approaching sessions of the
legislatures. Many of the states have
already selected locations for their build

of them have already made the necessary
appropriations. notably New York. Penn

we now particularly wish is 10 have the
