Crown Point, Ind, Dec. 9.--Antici-
pating the probability that the venire-
men selected next week in the Gibson
bribery case will have to be isolated
from the rest of the world during the

caution possible will be taken to guard
against any crooked work with the
jurymen selected and which ever way
the verdict is rendered, those in charga
are determined that it will be solely
upon the merits of the case and free
from outside interference.
A great deal of local interest is be-
ing aroused and it is anticipated that
the courtroom will be well attended dur
ing the progress of the trial by those
anxious to hear the much discussed die
