many cases the railroads have not
been fair. When earnings have in

fairness becomes plainly manifest. Of
course this sort of argument will not
appeal to railroad attorneys, and some
railroad officials, who believe every
thing not expressly forbidden by stat

proper, but they are beginning to see
that the unwritten law Of wrong and
right is commencing to obtain, and
that many states, and the nation it
self, are enacting its provisions into
the written.

that all these fellows who have been

 CASN

The trial of Angelo and Custoda DeLucia, charged with murdering Raffeale Petrone at the box shops in Fair Haven on January IS last started yesterday after several delays on objec- tlons to the charges against them. A jury of 66 tailsmen was summoned to court this morning and of this num- Der five were immediately excused by the court, after which the selection of a jury started.
 The first man called Samuel Foote, a farmer, of Branford, was accepted by both state and defense, after which the challenges began to come thick and fast with the result that although a half1ozen more were examined an- other juror had not been accepted up to hte recess. Under the double charge the defense is allowed 40 challenges, 20 for each prisoner while the state had but 20. It seemed likely as if the challenges would deplete the present panel and another have to be sum- moned. The taking of evidence will not start until Tuesday even should the jury be selected to-day.
