factorily ali the questions propounded

case with the deputy who summoned
him for Jury service and had also en-
tertained the deputy at dinner. Mr.

Butcher In Relieved.
Mr.. barrow next took UP the examin-

who was passed into seat No. 3 last

tense joined in a request for Walker
discharge. 1t was ordered by Judge
Wood.
Raymond Jones' farmer, was called.

nearly half an hour before Mr.. Hawley
finally asked him if<he had any con-
,scientious scruples against capital pun

gested that in the future 1t would be
well to ask the talesman about their
scruplss earlier In the examination.
C. III. Frank, farmer, was called to
the vacant chair. Mr.. barrow drew
from the talesman the admission that
it would require strong evidence to
remove the opinion he had already
