 Dciense.- Jurors Secured.

Fleming is being defended by Attor neys Daniel Taylor and !. w. Shaw, Of the firm of Nixon and Shaw. The States interests are being looked af ter by Prosecuting Attorney W. D. Jones' The entire day was used ill securing jury and when the list was completed the jurors were ex- cused until this morning at g o'clock, when the first witness will be placed on the stand.
 Attorneys Taylor and Shaw were appointed by the Court to defend Fleming. He had no means for the employment of counsel and, as is customary, the Court furnished him
 with legal assistance. Taylor and Shaw have already gone into the case with q determination to save Fleming from the gallows. They will set up the defence that Fleming was so badly intoxicated on the day of the tragedy that he was irresponsible for his act. The trial is of more than ordinary interest to the general pub lie because of the fact that 1t is Dan Taylor's first appearance in a mur- der case.
 The jury secured to decide Flem- ings fate is composed of several prominent business men and is re- garded as a most intelligent and fair
 minded body of men. 1t includes c. c. Green. II. F. Bluthenthal, J. W. Gray, Russell Hollis. Fernando Frank, 1 w. x. Trulock, R. F. Ezell, C. B. Bland. W. D. Ross. J. w. Matthews F. A. Poole and J. l.. Oracle.
