JUROR DISMISSED;
ONE SELECTED
SUM TOTAL OF YESTERDAYS
PROCEEDINGS IN QUENTIN
RANKIN MURDER TRIAL.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Nov. 26.-One
Juror dismissed from the box and his
place filled from the venire, is the
sum total of the progress made here
today in the trial of Garrett Johnson
and Arthur Cloar, two alleged leaders
of the Reelfoot Lake night riders.
While no definite announcement was
made in court, attorneys for the State
and defense intimated today that they
did not believe they would be able to
secure a jury to try the defendants
who are charged with the murder OF
Capt. Quentin Rankin, member OF
the West Tennessee Land Company.
Under the laws of Tennessee, the
State can not ask for a change OF
venue. and the cases against Johnson
and Cloar, along with the numerous
other indiments against alleged night
riders, will probably be dismissed or
retired from the courts docket should
it be found impossible to secure a jury.

upon the advice of Vice Mayor John

ed Patrolmen Charles Bruner and P

Mayor Walsh is that the men were
down in the First Ward, away from
their regular assignment, working up
eyidence in the Mayors election con
test, which is now pending before the
legislative council and the courts.
The men deny the charge and state
that they were simply down in the
First Ward looking for "Wingy"
negro who on last Sunday shot three
others.

heard lengthy argument on the ques'
ton of the jurisdiction of the Council
or the incoming body which will come
into existence after Jan. to hear and
determine the contest brought by J. ].

against E. H. Crump, Mayor-elect, has
decided to hear the COMETS. The vote
in favor of taking up the case at once
was s to 6, and those who read be-
tween the lines can readily see that
the vote was about the same that has
been given in the past between the
two factions of the Council when po-
litical matters are involved.
Those voting aye were Mayor Ma
lone, Vice Mayor Walsh, Commission
