Tuesday morning Judge Maxwell,

lowing members being drawn for
service at this term of court: w. A.
foreman; Fair Naylor, j.
G. Springer, Oscar Boatman, Curtis
Farmer, J. X. Williamson and J. E.
Lentz. The court appointed Frank
Gardner, of Decatur City, as bailif1
and J. S. Parrish as clerk of the
grand jury.
The attorney for Clarence and
Hugh Teale, Tom and Ed Young who
are in Jail charged with the murder
Of Mrs. Lee Zornes, objected to J. G
Springer serving as member OF
the grand jury, for the reason he had
served as a member of the trial jury
panel during the past year, and the
court sustained the objection, and
Ed Rumley was drawn to serve in
his place in the cases above named
and Mr.. Springer will sit as mem.
Der in all other cases. The Zornes
is being investigated as The
Reporter goes to press Wednesday
and a large number OF
witnesses have been summoned.
There will be no criminal cases
tried at this term of court. In the
case Of. Henry Rauch jr., who was
indicted for assault with intent to
commit great bodily injury, a plea
Of guilty was accepted by Judge Ev.
ans and the defendant fined 1926
and costs. In the case against Glen
Leedom, charged with rape, an
to the indictment was
filed, which the defendants attorney
objected to but the court sustained
the amendment, and the case goes
over for trial.
