From Tuesdays Daily.

Good progress is being made in
the case of the State against Harry
Matthews. Yesterday afternoon
Lucille S%traughter testified and
this forenoon DR.. A. j. Hood, Cert
rude Straughter, II. +. Sproule and
j. w. Straughter, father of the
girl, were examined and the evil
dence of DR.. Hood at the prelimi-
nary examination and the warrant
of arrest were read to the jury.
The State then rested.
The defense asked for time to
consult witnesses and court recess
ed until lis this afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Taber
set the trial of Fred McCoTbs
for next Monday. 1t is expected
that II writ of prohibition from the
Supreme Cour. will be served upon
Judge Taber before that time. II
that occurs the case will go over
until the Supreme court renders
its decision on the application for
the writ.
At the afternoon session, Mrs FL.
mira Johnson, Mrs Anna Coulter.
VIM Lawrence and Joe McGan testi-
fed for the defense. The defense
then asked that the jury view the
premises. The request was granted
and the jury was taken to the
premises by the officers. On the
jury's return Deputy Sheriff Lsmon
was called as a witness. He was on
the stand when u report closed.

From Thursdays Daily -

This forenoon -udge: Taber pass
ed upon the question of special
counsel to assist the district attor-
ney in the prosecution of Frank
Huber, charged with murder. He
read many authorities, the most of
which sustained the right of a
Judge to grant the application for
the employment of special counsel
in criminal cases. Some of the
cases, however. held it was deere
tionary with the judge. Being in
doubt as to his RICH: to deny the
application of the district attorney
for the employment of special coun-
sci in the Huber case, Judge Taber
exercised his discretion and denied
the application for the employment
Of the firm of Curler & Gedney,
but stated that he would grant an
application for the employment of
| either member Of the firm to be
agreed upon by the district attor-
ney and the firm.
After consultation MIR. Gedney
was agreed upon and he was en-
tered as special counsel. The state
excepted to the ruling of the court
denying the application for the en-
ployment of Curler & Gedney and
the defense objected to the en-
DlOyment of Mr.. Gedney. The OBJ
jections were overuled and the de-
Tense took an exception.
The employment of special coun.
sci in criminal cases has been the
rule in this state for over forty
years and Judge Taber's ruling
seems to be i'll conflict with that
practice. His decision, however,
vas largely based upon the condi-
tons presented in the case before
him. He fully considered those
conditions and made his ruling ac-
cOrdingly. He stated that his rul-
ing in this case was not to be re-
garded as a precedent.
After this matter was settled
the jury was called in and excused
till 1880 o'clock and the court adj
journed until that hour.
At the afternoon session the
work Of getting a jury to try the
Huber case was begun. John w.
Porter the first Juror was being
questioned when our report closed
at s o'clock.

DISTRICT SQUIRT

District Court convened this
morning for the trial of criminal
cases and the transaction Of other
business, Judge Taber presiding.
Sheriff Harris returned 50 jur-
ors served out of the venire of SIS.
The roll of jurors was called and
Judge Taber listened to a nun-
Der of requests to be excused from
those present. Some of the re-
quests were granted for the term
and some were denied.
The preiiminaries out of the way
Judge Taber called on District
Attorney Carville to nnounce the
first case for trial and the order
in which the remaining cases would
be tried. The district attorney an
nounced that By agreement of coun-
sci for the defendant, last No 49S,
the State against Harry Matthews,
charged with attempt to commit
rape. would be the first one tried
and the other cases would come in
the following order: Frank Huber,
murder; Fred McCombs, grand
larceny; Milton Abbey, burglary;
Jack Griffin, robbery: Jan Bird,
assault with intent to kill: Frank
a Hutto, forgery. There are three
indictments against Matthews, all
for the same offense
The case of Harry Matthews was
then called and the work of get
ting a jury begun. This was 500
accomplished and twel. men were
chosen to decide his fate.
Court then adjourned the hear
ing of the case until 2:3O in the af-
t~ernoon and took q recess until
l;l5 when the motions in the case
of Fred McCombs were decided.
When court convened this after
noon, Judge Taber rendered a
lengthy decision denying the mo-
tion to set aside the indictment
against Fred McUombs. He held
among other things that the de-
PENDANT had not exercised diligence
in Investigating the grand jurors
before they were empanelled and
that he could not now take adj
vantage of his failure to challenge
Juror Hyde at the proper time. He
read many decisions bearing on The
question and to the layman hi.
ruling seemed to be based OF
strong grounds. The result of tn,
ruling is that McComb will have
to face a jury.

Attorney Dysart gave notice tina
the defense would ask the Supreme
Court for a writ Of prohibition
