 Against Reporters.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Pine Bluff.-Realizing that it would be impossible for the attorneys in the case to complete their examina tion of witnesses and final arguments before the October term of the Jef. ferson Circuit Court expired, Judge A. B. Grace made a ruling unprce- dented in the history of Arkansas courts. After the last of the 12 men was sent into the Jury box Judge Grace adjourned court until Monday February 26. On that day the open state against John M. McVay, on trial for the alleged murder of J. w Eth ridge of Fall Back, Mississippi, ip Pine Bluff, on November 20, 1911, will be made. Until that time the jurors will be held together in charge of Sheriff Brewster and two deputy sheriffs.
 Owing to the fact that practically a week was used in selecting the jurors, and because of the fact that nearly a hundred witnesses are to testify in the remaining days of the session. the case could not be given to them.
 Judge Grace expressed his regret to the jurors at being compelled to keep them together for so iong 8 time He told them that the sheriff would provide them with every com fort. good hotel accommodations magazines. but not newspapers, and afford them every facility for commu. nfcation with their families and busi- ness associates. He cautioned them against the excessive use of liquor, and told them that they could engage in a game of cards for amusement. If they desired to do so, and that they could be permitted to attend amusement places in company with deputy sheriffs. provided they re. mained together, and not in the hsar- ing of persons who might discuss the McVey case.
 Judge Grace also declared that he WOuId not permit the testimony m the McVay case to be published by local or out-of-town papers; that re. porters would either be ordered to refrain from publishing the details or he would evclude them from the court room. In the event this order is violated. Judge Grace said that he would send newspaper men into jail for contempt of court. Judge Grace ruling that there were three others to be tried on the same evidence, and that if the newspapers published the evidence in full 1t would be an impossibility to get jury to try any of the other cases.
