JURY Is SECURED:
LYENS' TRIAL is ON
ONE JUROR is I'LL:
MAY CAUSE A
MISTRIAL

@. G. Califf who is a member Of
the Lyens jury, and who was taken
ill yesterday morning, was stricken
again last night with acute indiges-
tion, and it is now feared that his
illness may cause a mistrial in the
case.
Mr.. Califf was stricken while at the
Royal hotel, where the jurors are
lodging during the trial. He suffered
considerable during the night, and
was attended by DR.. G. V. Cate.
1t was not known at a late hour
whether or not Mr. Califf would be
sufficiently improved to be present
when court convenes this morning,
and in the event he is not, it is not
known exactly what will be done.
1t is likely, however, that Judge
Ccnyers may recess for the day in
order to see if there is an improve
ment in the condition of the sick
juror later so as to proceed with the
case.
If Mr. Califf's illness results seri-
ously, and it is now feared that it
may, then mistrial will necessarily
have to be declared His sudden ILL
ness is regretted by all those inter
ested in the case, inasmuch as the
trial has proceeded this far.

AN ACCIDENT At.
FORT MONROE
KILLS 8
BREECH OF A LARGE GUN
BURSTS, KILLING INSTANTLY
EIGHT ARTILLERYMEN WHO
WERE AT PRACTICE.

Fort Monroe, Va, July 21.-Eght
artillerymen were killed outright and
ten are still missing as the result of
the blowing out of a gun breech in
Battery Deroussy, at Fort Monroe,
this morning.
The known dead are Sergt, Harry
Hess, gun commander; Corporal
Bradford, gun pointer Privates A. ].
Sullivan. Private Duffey, Private
King and Private Adkins.
The dead artillerymen were at
tached to the Sixty-ninth Company.
The unfortunate men were badly
mutilated by the explosion. There is
great excitement in the fort over the
sad accident It is impossible at this
time to get all the details.
The accident occurred at 10:40
o'clock
The bodies of the dead artillery
men were terribly mangled. The
wounded were rushed to the fort hos
pital.
The disaster was witnessed by a.
number of prominent army and navy
officers here witnessing battle prac-
tice The wives and children Of sew
eral of the men killed were present
and saw them meet their terrible
death.
The News in Washington.
Washington, July 21.-Tne report
to the War Department says that
eight men were killed, two fatally in
jured and three others slightly injur-
ed at the beginning Of the coast ar
tillery battle practice at Fortress
Monroe, Va,
The news of the fatal outcome
was sent to Acting Secretary of War
Oliver by Gen, w. Fl. Carter, assist
ant chief of staff, who was at the
fort with a number of army officers
from Washington to view the cattle
practice with the big guns of the fort
The accident supposedly occurred
in connection with the coast artilo
lery target practice in which the
shore batteries fired upon the fleet
of targets towed up Hampton Roads
in such manner as to be compar-
able to battleships. The shore guns
were to be engaged in the battle
practice with the moving fleet which
was towed up Hampton Roads about
four miles out, and supposed to rep
resent a hostile fleet sailing up the
Potomacsto attack; Washington.
The officers of the coast artillery
gave unofficial opinion that the ex-
plosion was caused by the ignition Of
he charge before the braech lock
lad been closed. and probably was
caused by the wind blowing down tae
mouth of the gun.

WORK OF RIKERs
ATTEMPT MADE YESTERDAY TO-
}.-ck A TRAIN-CONDi-
TION IMPROVED.

Toronto, July 21.-Grand trunk
officials state that an attempt to
wreck the company's Muskoka-Buffa-
10 Express was made early today.
The train ran into an open switch
two miles frCm here. The engine and
two cars left the tracks but no pas
sengers were injured.
Strikers Confident
Montreal, July 21.-Five thousand
striking conductors and trainmen of
the Grand Trunk lines today re-af-
firmed through their leaders the as
sertion that they are waiting the ex-
pected time when the railroads will
find the resumption of freight busi-
ness impossible, and will make suclt
wage Cvertures to the strikers as will
induce them to return.
A bird s-eye view of the Grand
Trunks 1000 miles system showed a
distinct improvement From the view
point of many cities affected, the
freightts situation is increasingly SER
ious, and much perishable freight
seems doomed to destruction.
The Conditions Better,
With the passenger service restor-
ed on practically every line in New
England, the officials of the Grand
Trunk and Central Vermont Railroad
are turning their attention to moving
the freight trains and relieving the
congestion which the tie-up caused.

came, his place was dry"
Alex Dunaway, a white man about
town. was then sworn. He stated
that five or six weeks ago he was at
Foy's blind tiger on l. street, and
that in the presence of Lowe, he
bought two half pints of whiskey
and that it was on the same day that
the officers raided Hazel's place, and
that Lowe was in deep conversation
with Foy. The implication being
that Lowe was then warning Fey of
the contemplated raid.
Mr.. Isaac moved to exclude the
testimony of Dunaway, which how
ever, council moved to over rule.
The city here closed its case.
For Lowe, the defense here intro
duced Attorney ]. r. C0lson, who
represented Halle in a police court
case, who sWOro that the case against
Halle was postponed at his request
and that in the meantime the case
had been transferred to the state
courts. Tie defense then introduced
f. n, Knight. J. NJ. Hoodenpye, E
Nj. Peerson, Richard Good
son, G. L. Steiner and others to i'm
peach Hazel and McLendon 1t was
agreed to permit the testimony Of
these gentlemen in the Burney case
to stand in this one.
Lowe was then placed on the
stand in his own defense. He said
he had always done his duty and
had been on the force since 1906. He
said he had pulled Joe Hazel twice
and that was why Hazel had it in
for him. He said in all he had pull
ed blind tiger cases several of
which had been convicted. He also
said that during his term of office
he had arrested 204 people for vio-
lating the law.
Lowe denied that he had ever re-
ceived money from any source for
hEotectiOn Eurposes He stressed
his hard work as COW catcher and
policeman. He also denied that he
had warned Foy and Hazel of the
contemplated raid by the police de-
partment. He was forced to admit
that the last case he had pulled for
selling liquor, was in Nov. 1909
This he explained was due to the
changing of his limits or beat He
admitted that he was under two in
dictments by the grand jury on these

bond for IS appearance therein.
He, under question: from Alderman
Cook also admitted that the drank
beer while in uniform in Ben Nc
Lendon's saloon After running
rambling statement of an hour or
more, Lowe came down.
The conclusion Of this case under
the trial of the four officers suspend
ed by Mayor Hopkins and the cog
viction of all four of them, amply
sustains the mayor and with tle
election of a new chief of police, it
is to be hoped that a better state of
efficiency will fall to the lot of the de
parment.
The resolution finding Lowe guilty
and dismissing him from mis- posi-
tion, was introduced by Alderman

sounded louder than the previous
ones. He went back towards the
drug store and met Brinson, greatly
| excited. He said he looked in the
drug store and saw Lyens near the
prescription counter; he did not go
in but said that the eX-sheriff appear
ed to be leaning over some one.
The witness also testified that ne
had talked with Lyons on the day
If the tragedy and that he stated
that Smith had been talking about
him and it would have to stop. He
said that Lyens stated to him, Il
know Smith is not allie to fight me,
but he can fix himself so that he
would be able to fight him. After the
shooting he said he saw Lyens on
the streets and that later ae came
to his house, accompanied by After
ney Thomas.
On cross-eXamination a number Of
questions were asked by the defense
as to the location Of the prescript-
ion counter in the drug store, the
width of the doCrs, etc. The witness
was questioned by the defense for
quite a while but no additional facts
were brought out
J. J. Hill was the last witness pIac-
ed on the stand during the afternoon
and he was being cross-examined
when the court recessed for the day.
He testified that he spent the
night previous to the killing at the
home CT Lyens, that he ate break
fast there and walked from Lyens'
home to the depot with the ex-saeriff
While en- route to the depot Lyaas
brought up Smith, stating that fg
said: Il got into some trouble with
some women in the restaurant and
Smith is making up money with
which to prosecute me; he SAID
enough to me Yesterday - make ne
kill man and l am going to see him
aga.n."
The defense, on ross-axaminati0n.
asked the witness if he did not tes-
tify a little different at the previous
trial, and it was brought out that he
said before that Lyons stated that
he had gotten into some trouble
ABOUT some women at the restau-
rant, rather than with some wom-
en- as the witness testified yester-
day.
1t was at this point that Judge
Conyers announced a recess for the
day and Hill will again be on the
stand when the court convenes this
morning.

wanted in another county and for
which there was a big reward. He
went ever the entire tragedy, show
ing how Lyons and his son entered
the drug store, not anticipating any
trouble whatever, and now, as they
started out of the store, Smith Sc
cured his gun from behind the pre-
scription counter and fired upon the
two men, whereupon the fire was re-
turned and Smith was killed.
Taking of Evidence Begins.
DR.. G. w. Drawdy, well known
and prcmtnent physician of Jesup,
was the first witness called to the
stand by the state. He was one of
the first TO reach the wounded man
after the shooting. DR.. Drawdy stat
ed that at the time of the tragedy he
was in a store near the Jesup Drug
company, and that he heard all Of
the shots but that they were in such
rapid succession that he did not know
how many were fired, but he stated
that after the first volley of shots
that there was a short interval,
when one or two more shots were
fired. This evidence is desired by
the state to show that after Lyens
had shot Smith he rushed to the rear
of the drug store, secured his gun
and fired it off, in order to show
that Smith had fired. This is one of
the contentious Of the state.
DR.. DraWdy stated that after the
shooting he went to the drug store,
that he saw Lyons coming towards
the front door with a pistol in his
left hand. He then went upstairs,
where the wounded man had been re.
moved, that Smith was lying on a
mattress on the floor.
He made an examination and found
several wounds, one in the left side
death. He stated that the
person who did the firing must have
been at close range, as there was
gun powder on the skin Of the in
jured man.
The witness stated that Smith was
perfectly rational up to the time of
his death and he repeated the re-
marks he heard the dying man make,
Il guess 1 am done, God help my
scul; Arch shot me first, then they
both shot, Lyons held me and Arch |
fired the last shots. I did not shoot |
at all" Those were the remarks |
the witness heard the dying man
make
On cross-eXamination, conducted |
by Attorney Bennett, he went into |
details as to the location of the store, |
the distance from the drug store and
the place where DR. Drawdy was at
the time of the shooting and other
minor matters.

fore the st0o.iCg and saw Lyens and
his son enter the store. He testified
that the two men walked into the
drug store, but did not say anything
to Smith. Both of them had their
hands in their overcoat pockets. Fin
ally Smith asked the elder Lyons if
he could do anything for him, and he
replied no. The witness stated that
the elder Lyons, pointing to some
boxes in a show case with his foot,
asked Smith, whats in those box

store, leaving in there the two Lyons
