JURY BOX QUICKLY
FILLED At TODD
MURDER TRIAL
Eleven Had Been Drawn Before
Recess; Twelfth Came
from Fresh Panel.

Up to 4 o'clock today eleven Jurors had
been drawn for the trial of Charles w
Todd, under Indictment for the murder
OF Mrs. Minnie f. Behrens at her home,
505 Washington street, on January H.
The twelfth juror was secured when
the court reconvened this afternoon,
and the members of the new panel ap-
peared He was Michael T. Kirwin, of
S5 Hamburg place, and he was the
twelfth man examined in the new
panel.
The first witness, Edward Kemp,
surveyor, took the stand at o'clock.
In gaining the eleven the panel was
exhausted, and the Judge ordered an
extra call for twenty five talesmen to
be served and to appear before court
should adjourn today. These are the
new members of the jury:
No T. Howard c. Crane, PSI Market
street; No. 8, Lewis Mash, 1s1 Seventh
avenue No 9, John C. Givens, IA Grant
street; No. 10, Charles H. Ryan, %
Cross street West Orange, and No. II,
Joseph C. Davis, 544 Highland avenue.
Former Judge Chauncy M. Beasley.
counsel for Todd, sprung surprise
upon the court and prosecutors staff
when he demanded that the jurors be
sworn before being examined.
Mr.. Beasley also made strenuous
objections to continuing the case un
less all the jurors drawn on the special
panel for the case were present. OF
the forty-eight jurors called twenty
five failed to answer. Mr.. Beasley
maintained that he had been furnished
with a list OF forty-eight names and
only had the opportunity of examin-
ing twenty three of them. Eleven of
the twenty-five were serving on other
cases, nine. had been excused and the
Others could not be found.
Foreman Ii Fifth Man Drawn.
The foreman, James N, Ellis. of 90
West End avenue, Newark, was drawn
after five men had been examined. The
other jurors drawn are: No. 2, John
Fleming, Bruce street, Newark; No.
8, Bennett J. CASTOR. 257 North Seventh
street, Newark; No. A, Patrick CoWan,
Livingston; No. 8. william F. Cook, IT'S
North Third street, Newark; No. Q,
John Tuite, A Goble street. Newark
Elmer Eckhouse, wine dealer, Of 81
Osborne terrace, on examination, said
that he was opposed to capital punish
ment and asked that he be not re-
ouired to take an oath which might
force him to send man. to the electric
chair.
Such Variety of Scruples!
Judge Ten Eyck refused to excuse
him, saying: II must say 1 have never
yet seen so many men who were un-
willing to take the oath and serve as
jurors in the trial of a cause because
of conscientious scruples."
Mr. Beasley here objected to the
courts remarks on, the ground that
they might have prejudlced the minds
of the jurors present. He asked that
the trial be adjourned and a new panel
of jurors served on the defendant. The
court refused and, Mr.. Beasley took an
exception.

FARMERS FAR ADVANCED,
His letter is as follows:


Editor Constitution: The fact
that The Constitution keeps close
eye on the farming situation in
Georgia leads me to believe you
would like to hear word or two
from this neck of the woods.
The farmers hereabouts are fur
Their advanced in their work, and
we have had more ground broken
than in many years. January and
December were ideal working
months. Just enough rain to keep
the ground moist, and the folks left
on the farms took advantage of it.
The merchants have sold negroes
more mules than any year since the
civil war, but that doesn't necessarily
mean cotton.
Il took a trip over two counties a
few days ago to see what the farmers
: are doing. | found a number OF
empty houses. People have gone to
towns, cities, factories, the railroad
and other public works. Building
factories in the south has carried
the white labor from the country,
and after they once leave the farm
they are never satisfied il any place
but the factories.
NEGRO NOT RELIABLE.
Every farmer is depending on the
darkey for labor, and the darkey
knows it. He knows if you don't do
to suit him, the merchant will fur
nish him with a $3.50 mule and a
new top buggy. That will certainly
mean 20 cent cotton within the
next two years anyhow.
On my trip Imet several farmers
who had four to six mules and not
hand to pillow them. The mer-
chants had bought their hands
mules and let them work for them
selves.
| Now, to make my story short
no one has ever made a mechanical
cotton chopper or picker to take the
place of the negro. A wet May and
June, when you can't get mule in
the field, like 1909, makes me
think you can look for 20-cent cot

HELD UP AT MURDER SCENE?
Farmer Tells Story Similar to
That Given by Beattie.

Richmond. Va. Sept. 22-Telling A
story of a hold-up almost identical with
that given by Henry Clay Beattie. jr., in
his recent trial for the murder Of his
Young wife. Samuel Martin, a Chester
field County farmer, to-day said he had
been attacked on the exact spot where
the tragedy Of last July occurred.
Martin declared that while he was
driving over the Midlothian Turnpike
last Wednesday night on his way TO this
city with $500 in his pocket TO purchase
cattle the front wheel of his wagon
struck the iron spike driven in the road
To identify the place of the murder. At
the same moment, he said "a rough, UNI
shavea man seemed TO spring out Of the
earth with a pistol in his hand.
The farmer said he was so frightened
he tumbled backward out Of the wagon,
picked himself up and ran away through
the woods. His team bolted, and when
he reached home the horses were wait
ing at his barn.
No other reports Of the highwayman
have since been made.
