the Counsel.

tional Men to Report-Regular
Panel Exhausted.

The extreme caution which is being
taken in the selection of a jury in
the Clyde Stratton murder case now
on trial in circuit court, has resulted
in the slow progress OF the suit. Coun-
sci for both the prosecution and de-
Tense are examining with the greatest
care every prospective juror and from
all indications most of today will be
taken up with securing d panel TO
try the yeggman for the assault on
Banker J. Lee Crowder of Silvis, and
which later resulted in his death.
ONE LONE MAN.
When the first panel had been ex-
hausted last evening at the time of
the adjournment Of court, there was
but one juror who had been tenta-
lively selected by both sides. Even
he is subject to challenge by either
side, but he has been temporarily
agreed upon and therefore he was
placed in charge OF a bailiff and was
forced to occupy the jury sleeping
apartments alone. j. Il. Benson, No
line, aged 80 years. and a carpenter
by trade. was the victim, but by this
evening it is expected he will have
plenty of company The rest of the
men we're excused until this morning

STRNTrON LIKES FLOWERS.
That Clyde Stratton likes flowers

wore a large carnation in his button

ANOTHER ARREST
 |0N PERJURY CHARGE
GRAND JURY RMtNED THAT NO FALSE SNEAKER WILL Es-
 CAPE INDICTMENT.
Official Probe Will Be Inserted as Conclusion to the Swindle in-
 vestigations Now Pending.

Yesterday afternoon the grand jury
 returned its second indictment, and
 that was another indictment on a
 charge of perjury, the person charged
 being a negro who had been exam
 ined before the grand jury during the week.
 The determination of the grand jury to return an indictment promptly and forthwith ine every case where 1t is apparent that perjury has been com
 mitted is having its effect on the in yestigations now being probed. The jury is following the instructions in
 the charge by Circuit Judge Gotham to drop everything and secure the forthwith arrest of every person wno seems to swear falsely before that
 body.
 The big feature of interest appar-. ently in connection with the grand jury at this time is the determination to get into the official investigations, and it is believed that the swindle cases may be set temporarily aside today that some officials may receive
 consideration.
 1t is said that Leo Mayor. William
 shannon, Sam Watt and others con nected with the larger clubs of the city, have already been summoned, and some investigation has been made along this line. Others are to be sum-
 moned this morning. Joan Aiken, one
 Of the pioneers of the county, and who wrote a signed article telling some
 plain blunt things in reference to of na n nn of the grand jury yesterday afternoon,
 and probably will be an interesting witness to the jurors. He is regard
 ed as man who win tell whatever he has to tell ill plain straightfor-
 ward manner, and win stand behind it under any and all conditions An interesting development at the court house yesterday was a confer ence between Sheriff R. l.. Williams and Circuit Judge Gotham, which re- suited in an order being issued for the removal of J. H. Ward, alias Bert Sterling, alias "The Brass Kid' to the state penitentiary at Little Rock for safe keeping. The Brass Kid" has been an interesting prisoner, in that he has refused to talk with his attorney, Judge Thurston P. Farmer, recently, or to any others about the jail.
 When he was first arrested he showed the same sphinx-like tactics, then relented and talked freely with deputies, with attorneys and with cell mates, but since being taken into chancery court, where a writ of ha- beas corpus was denied, he has re- fused to talk with anybody, and has proved an interesting study.
 1t is reported that the detectives have record on The Brass Kid" to show where once he worked the in- sanity defense with some degree of success, and some who have observed him here believe that he is making tle foundation for that defense in this case. If the condition is feigned The Brass Kid' is really and truly an interesting actor.

about twenty of Miss Sherley's little friends,
