CASE IS
NOW ON TRIAL

The second venire of petit Jurors
for the present term of circuit
court was called Monday and quail
fed. 1t was stated that the crimi
nal docket was cleared for this term
so far as Randolph county was con.
cerned.
The famous Jackson murder case,
which was brought here on change
of venue from Sharp county. was
then called and the work of empan-
neling jury was begun. Out of the
regular venlre only four jurors were
secured. A special venire of fifty
jurors was then summoned and
out of this number the remainder
of the jury was secured. The jury
sworn in to try this case are as fol
lows:
j. s. Brown, w. r. Brown,
Geo. Hawk, w. M. Pierce, VIM.
Pitzenberger, Soula McNabb, w.
|. White, Lem Davis, Rufe Wiley,
P. S, Bellah, J, q. johnston, II.
A. Tyler.
In this case los witnesses were
present to testify either for the de-
fendant or the sta.e. The defen-
dant is represented by Attorneys D.
L. King, Sam H. Davidson and
Arthur Sullivan, Prosecuting At
torney Elmore has for his assistant,
W. P. Smith of Walnut Ridge.
All the jurors who were not quail
fled to sit on the Jackson case were
excused for the remainder of the
,erm Tuesday and returned to their
homes.
The entire week from the time
he jury was empaneled up to the
line this paper goes to press has
1een consumed in taking testimony
md it is more than probable that
he case will not get to the jury
before Saturday.
We have been pnahle ta get.
-sacn Of the detalls INK connection
with this case owing to the fact
hat the parties familiar Herewith
nave been under the instructions of
,he court not to talk about the
case. The defendants name is d.
E. Jackson. In April 1908, he
shot and killed a man by the name
Of Dick Richardson, in the town Of
Hardy. Family troubles are satd
to have been the cause of the Ill
feelings between the two men. The
day before the fatal shooting took
place the men me. at some sort Of
gathering and engaged in a fight
with knives, clubs, etc, but neither
was injured to any great extent.
The next day Richardson was sit
ting in front of a store in Hardy
when Jackson was seen to appear
on the opposite side of the street
with gun in his hands. Hepassed
up the street and just as he arrived
almost directly opposite where
Richardson was sitting he raised
the gun and fired, and the entire
contents took effect IN RIchar dson's
breast. Richardson turned and
ran few steps into the store and
fell, dying almost instantly.
Jackson was arrested and on a
charge of murder in the first degree
vas committed to Jail. A few days
later it was stated that the mau was
of unsound mind and a board OF
physicians was called to pass on his
case. Their decision was that the
man was suffering from acute mania
aud he was accordingly taken to
Little Rock and placed in tie asylum
where he was detained until a few
months ago, when he appeared tc
have recovered sufficiently as to be
able to return home. He was ia
ken back to Sharp county and
placed in Jail where he remained
until he was brought over here fol
trial.
The case has attracted much at
.tention owing to the prominence o.
