defense challenged % and the court
summarily excused two after they had
been declared satisfactory to both

1t is conceded that the action of
the State in charging two talisment
with perjury has greatly reduced the
chances Of getting jury at once.
Many of those summoned say they
may have expressed an opinion at the
time the murder occurred, and for
fear of an indictment, they disquali-
fly themselves.
After hearing testimony in the case
of Juror Whitworth, whose health is
said to be such that his life would be
