charged with the murder of for
mer Senator Edward Carmack,
began last Tuesday. And the
jury is composed of a sweet-scent-

The law made those incompetent
who had talked with a witness to
the murder, with some one who
had talked with a witness, or had
read the testimony of witnesses,
and as a result it was necessary
to draw six special venires, a to-
tai of 3,019, before the jury was
secured. Four of the jurors can
neither read nor write, and two
others understand English only
imperfectly. All except one Of
the twelve swore he had not reac

killing, and some had not read
one for ten years. One mus
