JURY MAY DECIDE
ON GREEN'S FATE
BEFORE DAY ENDS
AssaiIant of Mrs. Grant Placed
on Trial, Despite Demand to
Accept Guilty Plea.

Whether Nathaniel Green, colored,
assailant Of Mrs. Adelaide E. Grant on
Christmas night. dies on the gaIlows or
goes to prison-possibly for thirty years
lin expiation of his crime, Will prob
ably be decided by a iury before Justice
Stafford in Criminal Court No. /, this
afternoon.
over the protests of counsel for
Green, who insisted that his plea OF
guilty entered January be accepted,
the defendant was placed on trial at 10
o'clock this forenoon. The attorneys
for the accused made formal objection
to the proceedings and then declined to
participate in the examination of the
jurors or to cross-examine the wit
nesses.
The attitude of the defense indicates
that the case may be carried to the
Court OF Appeals, which may be asked
to decide the question Of whether the
lower court should have imposed SEN
tence on the plea of guilty. Only the
death penalty, the maximum punish
ment on the plea of guilty being thirty
years Imprisonment
A jury was obtained after sixteen
members of the regular panef had been
examined by the Government prosecu-
tors. There were only four challenges.
One prospective. juror had slight ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Grant and another
had conscientious scruples against capi-
tai punishment.
The jury selected comprised Forman
R. Horner, Frederick Whitmore. Otto
]. Botsch, Benjamin Miller, Benjamin
B. Knell, James McManus. William G.
Rouser, Joseph p. Germiller. Frederick
w. Reeves, John T.. Crossley. Nathan

ment to the jury. He detailed the line

This il my advice to every man, wom-
an and child. Not only begin the New
Year right, but begin every day, hour
and minute night. The present you
have. The future largely depends ON
your present actions. If you are q
failure, find out the cause. If you are
do not love. If you are disgruntied,
peevish, nervous and melancholy, you
can trace the cause nine times out Of
ten to Indigestion or constipation Thou
sands Of business men fail every year
because they are dyspeptic, not only
dyspeptic ir their stomachs but dyspep-
tic in their ideas. They are not only
constipated IN the bowels. but consti-
pated in their brain. They harden up.
They have sour stomachs and sour dis
positions. They belch wind and belch
complaints.
In hiring help employers could not do
better than to ask the applicants How
ID your stomach and bowelsY I would
not advise any woman to marry q dys-
peptc any sooner than l would advise

suffering from some liver or bowel
trouble. When the stomach, liver and

tangled, the ideas are tangled, homes

rid of dyspepsia, Indigestion, constipa-
ton and liver ailments by taking nv
Paw Paw Pills. Take one or two each
