JURY SECURED
AT UNION CITY
BUT ONE or THEM MAY Be cHAL-
LENoEo FOR CAUSE BY THE
STATE.
IN CASE AGAINST Ed MARSH ILL
Charged With The Murder Of Capt.
Quentin Rankin at WAL
nut Log.

UNION CITY. Tenn. Jan. 20.-That
one of the members OF the jury Sc
lected to hear the case of Ed Mar
shall alleged night rider OF Reelfoot
Lake, charged with participation In
the putting to death OF Capt. Quentin
Rankin, has already formed and ex-
pressed an opinion, and is therefore
incompetent TO act as juror, will be
alleged in an affidavit to be filed by
the States attorney tomorrow. EVi-
dence in support of this statement
will be presented. Announcement to
this effect was made this afternoon.
The two needed to complete the re-
uuire dtwelye were selected early to-
day, and it was anticipated that the
hearing of evidence would have begun
this afternoon. However, because OF
the indisposition of Attorney General
Caldwell, who was unable to attend
court today, this was deferred until
tomorrow.
Mr.. Caldwell is suffering from an
attack of heart trouble, and while his
physicians consider his condition such
as may become critical at any time,
It is believed that he will have sufd-
GENTLY recovered from the attack to
resume the case in the morning. BY
agreement Of counsel for the State
Mai. Hal Holmes is acting as States
Attorney.
When John O'Donnell, a blacksmith
of this city, was accepted by both
sides the jury was completed, r. ].
Fielder, a farmer of Obion county,
having been previously accepted.
Judge Swiggart at the afternoon ses-
sion stated that he had received some
information touching the competency
OF one of the jurors, and asked time to
investigate It. He was given thirty
minutes for this purpose.
After a short conference the States
Attorney returned and said 1t would
be impossible to file the aftdavie
touching the competency of the juror
until they could get witness In the
morning. Court therefore adjourned
until tomorrow.

rena Tawser with killing man on his

came offensive, Miss Tawser's mother

doubtedly human bones. Near the
chicken house, Keener scratched II
the ground and uncovered pieces o.
charred bones. In the cellar, undel
the potato bin, was found galior
measure of ashes, in which was fount
bone pronounced to be a rib. A pet
ticoat ruffie stained with blood wal

a garment worn by the Tawser girl.
1t is said that Miss Tawser will b
arrested as an accessory after thu
fact. She denies that she had any
thing to do with the cutting up of thu
body.
