began. or the thirty men eligible for
jury duty summoned for this trial,
only ten were examined Friday after
noon, one being excused by the state,
four challenged by the defense and
three being excused by the court, one
because Of deafness, another because

the third because he said he would
require an eye witness Of a crime to
convict.
Evidently the fact that Of ten men
only two Jurors were secured i'm
pressed the court officials with the
necessity Of summoning more men.

of the trial this was done Saturday.

drawn We're men from the towns at
the northern end Of the county.
The addition Of thirty names to the
list makes sixty names in all Ten
men have been examined, leaving fifty
to be examined. II jurors are secured
