JURY PROBABLE IN

CASE TO-DAY
DEFENSE HAD EXHAUSTED ALL
BUT TWO OF PEREMPToRY
CHALLENGES AT NooN--PRls-
oNER's MOTHER IN COURT.

"A jury Is near In the Percy Bowin
fnurder case. When court adjourned
for the noon recess, Wednesday. the
defense had exhausted all but two OF
its peremptory challenges and. while
the prosecution still has six. It Is
doubtful II II will use them ALL
or the 80 extra talesmen drawn by
the jury commission Tuesday after
noon, all had been called but two or
three Wednesday noon, and the ma
jority OF them were excused How
ever the box was full and Ii Is ex-
pected that jury will be secured be-
tore court adiourns this afternoon.
Mrs. William Bowin. of Woodyille,
Ont. mother OF the accused, arrived
In the city late Tuesday afternoon to
be near her son during his trial and
was at his side throughout the morn
Ing session. Percy's father was too
III to come, and Mrs Bowin hesitated
to leave him, but felt that her greater
duty was at the side OF her son under
the circumstances.
AS the possibility OF jury being ac-
cepted draws nearer the crowd In the
growing constantly more dense and by
the time the testimony is started,
from present indications, standing
room will be at premium.
Among the tslesmen drawn and ex-
Icused, Tuesday afternoon, was Michael
Sullivan. of No. 1927 Cherry-st.. whose
presence recalled remarkable case.
Several years ago his brother. Daniel.
who had disappeared, was reported
TO have been killed in a railroad acct
dent. His supposed remains were in

fact. is alive today.

lenged by Attorney Edward Kennedy
