JEFFERSON ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING OFFICER
James Jefferson Faces Bar of
Justice in Big Legal
Fight

NSpeCldl DlSp4lCn 10 Inc JOuTndl.J
COLUMBUS, Ca. May 17.-With spe-
cial venire OF over 100 men from which
to select jury of u present, and the
county court house crowded to it's ca
pacity. the trial of James Jefferson, on
the charge of numbering Police Officer
Marion Marchant on the night of April
IL, began before Judge S. Price Gilbert at
O'Clock this morning.
The defendant. who is well connected.
is a young man who is quite popular
in large circle. On the night of the
tragedy, he is charged with shooting the
officer while the latter was on his beat
at the corner OF Sixth avenue and Sew
enth street. the only grievance being,
so far as known, that the officer ordered
him to go home and sober up, 1t being
alleged that Jefferson was drinking at
the time.
The officer was one of the youngest and
most popular members of the police de-
partment. having been on the force only
a few months. He left wife and sew
eral small children. Jefferson is a sin
gle man.
Widespread interest centers in the trial,
as was evidenced at the opening this
morning. the court room being taxed to
accommodate the crowd of spectators,
many Of whom came from adjoining
counties
After calling the case, work of pro-
curing the jury was taken up at once,
and it was soon seeh that the entire
day would be required to complete this
task, and that an additional venire of
men would be necessary to get the IL
jurymen required.
Able counsel appeared on both sides
and the indications are that one Of the
most spirited legal battles In the his
tory of Muscogee county is to be waged.
Solicitor General Palmer is being assist
ed by City Court Solicitor T. III. Fort
and City Attorney T. It. Miller. while
the defendant is represented by Judge
A. w. Cozart, Wynn & Wohlwneder. S.
B. Hatcher and others.
