CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

(FrOm w edneSday OSlly.J
 The work of drawing a jury to -rv Tuan Fernandez upon a charge )f murder will be resumed Tn the superior court at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Yesterdays entire session was occupied in trying to secure the panel. The venire of nifty nen was early exhausted. A spe-- ,ial venire of four men was called md exhausted and another speclal venire of five men is called for this morning.
 The selection of thu jury for this murder trial is one of the most edious ever recorded in the superior court. This is due to the fact that he prosecution bases its case upon T strong chain of circumstantial violence. The defense in its early forts to offset this, tries to glean he attitude of every prospective iurvman with regards to a convlc- ion upon circumstantial evidence. The list of questions IS long, at times complex and sometimes puzzling to he veniremen.
 Fernandez sat all through the lays proceedings, keenly aware ot what was taking place about him, although he cannot speak a word If English. His dark, piercing eyes rlisten every time his attorneys. Clark and Tascher, get into verbal combat with County Attorney O'Sullivan and Assistant County At torney Morgan.
 As Mir. Tascher came through he railing at the start of the ait ernoon session, Fernandez jumped up. grasped his hand with both palms and rhuttered something not audible to by-standers. Fernandez by this time is thoroughly convers- ant with his case from a public viewpoint.
 He is short of statute. Silver tinged hair and Q flowing white mustache and short beard vouch for his fifty-two years of age. Ills eyes are remarkably dark and pos sess a glistening, piercing quality. About three months ago. the body of Jesus Esparcia was found buried in a shallow grave near Fort Whipple. The gruesome discovery was made by Indians and the sherifTs office dug up the body. The grave was in proportions four feet long. a foot and 2 half wide and foot deep.
 Suspicion was immediately at tached to Fernandez. who lived in camp a quarter of a mile away | Tracks of shoes leading from the camp to the grave were found and shoes found at Fernandez's camp which purported to fit these tracks
 The murder was one of the most brutal in the history Of this county Nine deep knife wounds, any oi them enough to prove fatal, were found about the body.
 According to reports last night the States most, important witness Maria Gonzalez, has dropped iron sight. The woman who lived al Fernandez's camp, is believed tt hold the key to the entire tragedy She refused 10 talk during the pre- liminary hearing. Nine subpoena' are out for her.
