TIE TUSCALOOSA HERALD. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1slsztr

shall report at 80, o'clock, Monday,
Dec. s, and constitute special grand
Jury to investigate the murder charge
against C. L. Nicola.
| The regular December term jurors
retired Immediately after being sworn
yesterday, to begin their investigation
of the various criminal charges which
may be brought up or are already
scheduled for hearing.
James Cruzen Is foreman of the
jury with L. NJ English, Fred Ey'
erett, A.. L. Miller, James Sharp, Ne,
roy Wharton, and NJ. Denney, as ne
remaining members. Six of these men
were members Of the April term
grand jury which returned an indict.
ment against c. l.. Nicola on the
charge of murder in the first degree.
This indictment was later found
faulty by the court on account OF the
fact that the names of witnesses
appearing before the grand jury had
not been properly Endorsed on the re-
turn of the indictment and the charge
will again come up for investigation
before the grand jury at this term.
On these grounds, Nicolas attorneys
challenged the six men who had serv'
ed on the former jury and the chal'
lenge was sustained. thereby necces-
itating the drawing of an additional
grand jury to investigate this paruc-
ular case.
The additional jurors drawn for the
Nicola case were as follows: J. w.
Dickson, c. W. Phillips, r. ]. Hugh
ey, J. w. Graves, c. Z. Brooks, w. j.
Brown, Owen Parsell and James A.
Jones. These men will compose, with
NJ. Denney, the only member of the
present grand jury not challenged,
the jury to investigate the charge
against Nicola. An order was also
issued by the court that the grand
Jurors not excused for the term and
not drawn for the present grand jury
shall return for service at '1:30 Mon
day, Dec. 8, T..
