New York compares favorably with

secretary receives $4,000 per year
$1,000 more than Taft's, while his

EXPECTED THAT A CHANGE OF
VENUE WILL BE ASKED IN
JJESUP CASE.
Not Believed That Another jury Can
Be Secured in Wayne County to Try
the Two Murderers of Young FIem-
ing Smith.

The second trial of W. b. Lyons and
his son, charged with the murder e
Fleming Smith, will mere than likely
be tried in Glynn county. That is
the opinion of those interested in the
case. but the matter will not be def
nitely settled until the case is called
at the next session of the Wayne su-
perior court.
1t win be remembered that at the
first trial considerable difficulty was
experienced in securing a jury and
at one time it appeared as if change
of venue would have to be asked AT
ter almost eXhausting the jury box
however, the panel was finally Sc
cured
Attorneys interested in the case now
state that it will be almost impossi-
Bile to. secure another jury. All ct
those who are connected with the
case in any way will be disqualjte
whlle, of course, none of tie jurors
who served before can again quality,
therefore it is doubtful that twelve
men can be secured from the entire
jury box.
If this develops then a change of
venue viii be asked, and it is more
than likely that the cases win be
brought to Glynn county for triaL
though the attorneys may seek TO
have the two criminals tried else
where. II was believed at the first
trial that a change Of venue would be
aaEed and it was said that, had it been
done, the cases would have gone to
Waycrcss, but as Ware county is not
now in the Brunswick circuit they
would not be transferred TO that
county.
AS stated, nothing will be decided
until The Wayne superior court meets.
but It is more than likely that the
second trial will occur in this county
