lawyers asserted today that the bsro.

TWO MORE MAY BE LET OUT

Nashville. February 12.-Hardly had the jury been completed today in the case against Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John b. Sharp when the state served notice that It might seek to again deplete the box. This incident followed wearisome day. Nearly 200 talesmen had been called without securing the twelfth juror. when. suddenly and unexpectedly both sides accepted William flows, German farmer 55 years of age. With alaerity Judge Hart ordered the sheriff to bring the complete jury into court to be sworn. Then it was that Attorney General McCarn interposed. He said he had information tending to show that two of the men now in the box were incompetent. This information, he explained. came too late for use be- fore. He asked until Saturday morn ing to produce the proof, if such proof existed. Judge Hart consented to the
