Cost Of ttiaI.
While the cost e trial has not
yet been footed ulis certain that
it will be consider less than sew
eral other murder that have TAX
en- place in this y. This result
is largely due to TIT that so little
trouble was experil in securing a
jury. The case heen so widely
discussed throughhe county that
it was feared sevdays would be
taken up in gettine 12 men. The
jury was practica ecured on the
first day. a result st unprecedent-
ed in q case of thiracter and inn
portance. The nV of witnesses
was quite large 9TH sides, but
nearly all of theme from this city,
and the mileaarges were very
small.
