Harry ThGW is particularly pleased
with the selection OF David 5. Walker.
I son Of John BTisben Walker. as one Of
his jurors. AIT. Walkers acceptance was
much OF a sensation. He mas a slight
acquaintance with tie Thaw family.

Walkers Acceptance.
AIr- Walker told the court that he Lsd
pressed &c eVerv day with various per
sons. The convincing way in which hs

his selection.
