One Juror Approached.

When the court proceedings were re-
sumed today Attorney Richardson took
up the examination of Juror No. 5, J. L.
Waggoner. It developed early that Wag-
goner had been approached by a man
who tried to tell him about the merits
of the case. The judge was informed.
The man was placed under arrest and
bound over by magistrate to the dis
trict court.
Richardson's examination OF this tales
man was along lines already indicated

a peculiar fact which has caused con-

Sheriff "Shad" Hodgin resented the i'm

pied, although but four members

of the trial of William d. Haywood
for the murder of Frank Steuenberg
began. The prospects are good for
the selection of at least four jurors
before court finally adjourns today.
Attorney Richardson is deter
mined TO secure an unbiased jury,
and his questioning at times seems
to border closely on the insulting.
This becomes more and more evi-
