A sad-eyed man approached George
Dunleavy, box Office man at one OF
the uptown theaters, according to
the New York correspondence Of the
Cincinnati Times-Star. ''Do you
think it would be right for two la
dies, both in mourning, to 60 to the
theater?" he asked.
Mr.. Dunleavy said that he thought
it would be positively commendable.
He went on to show that great grief
needs day off now and then. That
he remembered a bit of folklore he
had read somewhere. "You know"
said he, chat the tears of the
mourners burn holes in the
shroud p"
The sad eyed man said that he
didn't know that. He was greatly
interested. Under Mr.. Dunleavys
eyes he pulled out a small mem

it. 81 shall ask about that" said
he. "That is most interesting and
important, if it is true" Then he
turned to business. "Give me two

they'd come and see the show and
then tell Bill about it."

So often we call a man a dog when

SLAYER MORRIS
IS COOL MAN
Hold Up Who Killed J. w. Ak
tell Shows Little Interest
in Trial.
NO JURORS SECURED
DURING ALL OF THURSDAY
Fourth Special Venire of Tales
men Will Appear Today
for Examination.

Seated between his two attorneys,
and surrounded by number of deputy
sheriffs who keep him under constant
surveillance, j. j. Morris, on trial be-
fore Judge F. c. Loofbourow in the
criminal division of the Third district
court for the murder of Joseph Wallace
Axtell whom he shot down and in
stantly killed while endeavoring to es-
cape after holding up the Uncle Sam
loan Office May 9 last, apparently seems
to be one of the least concerned per.
sons In the courtroom. The work of
impaneling jury to try the case made
practically no progress Thursday, de-
spite the fact that two special venires
were exhausted and fourth special
venire was ordered made returnable
this morning at 10 O'Clock. No addi-
tional Jurors were secured Thursday.
As the work of impaneling jury
continues, Morris apparently becomes
less concerned, and the desperate pris-
oner is seen to occasionally smile IN
spite of the shadow which is over
hanging him. With their client assum-
ing such a peculiar and almost indif-
ferent attitude, Attorneys Badger and
Alexander are striving hard to save
Morris from the death penalty and
the examination of the talesman is evil
dence that they are exerting every,
possible effort to gain for Morris
recommendation of mercy at the hands
of the jury when the case is finally
submitted.
The second special venire of eighteen
men, which was returned at 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning, was exhausted by
1880, swhereupon third venire OF
eighteen men was drawn from the jury
box made returnable at 3 clock in
the afternoon This venire was prac-
tically exhausted, too. before court ad-
Journed, and fourth special venire of
twenty-five men was ordered. This ven.
ire was made returnable this morning
at 10 clock
The majority of the talesmen thus
far examined have expressed a decided
bias or prejudice and when asked if
their opinion would hinder them from
fairly and mpartially trying the case
according to the law. many of them an
swered in the affirmative.
Thus far the defense has exercised
the right of peremptory challenges
eight times, out of a possible fifteen.
The state has exercised the right but
twice. 1t is thought that another Juror
will be added this morning, as one
of the talesmen examined Thursday al
ternoon seems satisfactory. according
TO the attorneys for the defense, if he
is not excused or challenged by the
state.
