SELECTING JURY
IN THE BLACK TRIAL

The trial of Homer Black on the
charge of shooting DR.. Charles Rob
ertson with intent to commit murder.
was called for trial this afternoon az
o'clock.
Black was arrested by Walter
Johnson and Charles Tweedy, spo-
cial deputies sheriff, near the fair-
grounds store, the morning after the
shooting. At the time of his arrest
Black had on his person a 45-calibre
Colts revolver and several boxes of
shells, and around his neck was tied
black bandana handkerchief. Upon
investigation after his arrest, the Of
ficers found two charges had been
fired from the gun, and the cloth tiel
about the mans neck answered the
description given by Dr. Robertson,
who said his assailant wore a black
mask. This evidence, and that dis
closed by investigations led to Black
being held pending the action of the
grand Jury.
Black has not, by word or action,
since his arrest, made any statement
relative to his arrest. and the charges
brought against him, with the ex-
ceptlon of pleading not guilty, and
stating in a motion filed for further
time in which to fight his case, that
he was not guilty OF the crime, and
that II he could procure the testimony
OF James Allen, an alleged associate
OF his at the time OF the shooting,
he could prove to the satisfaction of
the court that he was not a party 10
the deed. and that he was in company
with Allen up to within a few min
utes before his arrest.

peared in court last week with tho
Information that he would be unable

intention heretofore, and Attorney A.
