SOLDIER ON TRIAL FOR
MURDER OF POLICEMAN
Jury to Try Jordan Will Prob
ably Be Completed Today

The trial of Thomas Jefferson Jor-
dan, the soldier charged with the muir
der of Police Sergeant Antoine }. F.
Noting. was begun in Judge Cabaniss'
court yesterday. When court adjourned
eight Jurors had been sworn. A venire
of so has been summoned for O'Clock
today and it is believed the jury will
be completed this afternoon.
A strong array of counsel is partici-
pating IN the case. For the prosecution
Assistant District Attorney James N
Hanley has the aid of Hiram W: John
son, specially retained by the police
department, and John b. Carson. repre-
Tended by Attorneys Charles II. FaiFaH
William Nunifst and Judge Advocate
p. J. Hennessey.
Noting was killed at Montgomery
and Clay streets about 2 o'clock. on the
morning of January s. He was walk
ing along Montgomery street when he
heard shot fired near Clay Walking
down the street he encountered Jordan
In answer to a question Jordan admit
ted having fired the shot Noting or
dered him to throw up his hands. but
instead OF doing so the soldier pressed
a pistol against the policeman's stom-
aeh and said. Now / have got you"
The two men struggled, and Noting
was thrown 10 the ground. While the
policeman was cTouchfng down Jordan
is accused of having fired four shots
one OF which took effect, proving al
most instantly fatal.
The trend of the questions asked
jurors yesterday appeared to indicate
that Jordan's attorneys will plead in
mitigation of his acts that he was
drunk.
