Eleventh Juror Finally Secured.
The monotonous routine of exam
lining talesmen continued during the
afternoon session and one after an
other was excused for various causes
or because of challenges by the attor-
neys. Finally, when it began to look
as though the court would have to be
satisfied with but one juror as the re-

juror was secured
The man chosen was Henry L.

Every effort is being made to pre-
