Majority of Panel More Than Forty.

Majority of Panel More Than Forty.
In this connection. however. It is sig
nifcant to note that the majority of
the original panel Of twenty-slx jurors
summoned in the present case are men
well along in years. Seven Of the num-
Der are over fifty years OF age, seven
are In the fOrties, and but one pros
though IL Is possible that not more than
one juror VIII be selected out of this
entire lot II is believed according 70
the present intention Of attorneys on
both sides that the selection Of a Jury
will not consume more than one day
OF court
Attorney George H Hoover said today
thut The defense would insist upon no
qualifications other than those usually
demanded in capital cases. There Is to
be no hypothetical question put to the
prospective juror as 10 his belief or dis
belief in emotional 9r Temporary insan-
tty and all that will oe EequtrSd is that
both sides shall b. satisfied with
juror according to the prescribed rules
Of procedure in such cases
Total of 126 Talesmen.
In order, however. that there should
be no unnecessary delay In the azIec-
ton Of The all important twelve 1aen.
loo additional talesmen are being sum
muned today and will report to the
court tomorrow, making a total OF 10
e answer tC roll call Owing 10 the
fact that there has been no previous
trial Of the present issue before any
court, there cannot be the usual quota
of jurors who are excused for cause on
account Of having heard previously
given sworn testimony The selection
of the Jury therefore should proceed
more rapidly than in the Thaw case,
the StrOther case, and other recent
trials which on account Ct the principles
involved have frequently been com
pared 10 the pending one.
lnTFs
quite willing to leave to her counsel
the selection of the jurymen- She has
never tried to dictate In any Of these
details Of the hearing and the prepET-
alton for il and there Will be no sense
less dismissal of a competent Juror On
account Of the prejudice existing IN the
mind OF the defendant against that Ger
tain type OF man as has been the case
in other trials. We expect TO employ
only the usual examination and to pro
coed with the selection of the jury as
rapidly as possible
Stopping at Same Hotel.
MI Brown Is stopping at the Raleigh
Hotel. the same hotel IN which Senator
Brown met his death. In the same
party, all of whom are witnesses for the
prosecution ard who are expected to
throw interesting side light upon the
self-confessed infatuation of Mrs. Brad
ley for the man she afterward slew, are
D. II. Wenger. James Rowan, Archibald
Livingstone, and A. II. Kelly.
An equal number of witnesses are in
Washington from the far West who
have been summoned by the defense,
but at Government expense, for Mrs.
Bradley IS poor in this worlds goods
and professcd her financial inability to
defray the expenses Of those whose tes-
| tImOny she deemed most vital 10 her
cause The testimony of other witnesses
for the defense will be given by means
different times since the tragedy of a
year ago.
Will Defendant Take Stand?
A great deal of interest centers at
( present upon whether the defendant
/ herself Will go upon the stand. Her
| counsel are as yet undecided about this.
