Clement endeav3red to gain time by
"a continuance. Counsel for the ac-
cused girl made few objections and
seemed desirious CT he trial starting.
Before the evenings recess was taken
the jury had been drawn and four
witnesses were examined.
Cou4ssl for Clement claimed that
the newspaper accounts Of tae case
were Of such character tha, senti-
ment had been engendered against
heir client which would prohibit him
setting fair trial. and they asked for
"a continuance until the June term so
the feeling would dis down. This
motion was overruled by Judge Shipp.
1t was claimed that a copy Of the
Indictment had not been served on
Clement, which is necessary under the
law. The judge ruled that the docu-
ment had been served On counsel and
that was sufficient Claiming that
material witnesses could not be Sc
cured from Charlotte and that their
dispositions could not be Obtained ex-
>-capt by consent of the solicitor, coun-
; sci for Clement moved for con-
? tinuance On these grounds, This mo-
ton was refused.
Saying the the venire of the petit
and the grand juries had been il
legally drawn and that talesmen had
been illegally summoned by mail,
counsel for Clement made a motion
TO quash the panels Of both juries.
Judge Shipp ruled that these were ir-
relevant technicalities aud resfused the
motion. However, one Of the points
raised caused the judge to recess the
court for several hours until the law
could be looked up.
Contrary to expectations, it took
only one hour and three minu.es to
select the jury which will decide the
fate OF the accused Twelve objec

one of the clearing away of another
famous slum-the Rookery of st. Giles
which was pulled down in the fortles
for the construction of New Oxford
street. 1t largely consisted Of lodging
houses where men and women were
accommod ed at two pence per night,
and was the resort of thieves and
coiners. Many of the houses we're con-
nected together by the roof, yard and
cellar in such way that the apprehen-
sion Of criminal was an almost i'm

sages traps were set which landed a

IL is said of Admrz4 Fletcher that
he is forever inventing something. He
was born with a mechanical bent. At
the naval academy. however, he al
tracted no special attention. being
quiet, shy and studious. Modesty has
always been conspicuous attribute OF
his, but when something important is
to be done he is the readiest mar III
the world.
Fletcher and efficiency are almost
synonymous. Even his mechanical in
ventions are suggestive of the same
quality. The Fletcher breech closing
mechanism shuts the breech of a
rapid-fire gun in the quickest imagin-
able time and with the fewest possible
motions. The gun mount already men
toned is an arrangement Of truncate5

ton Is reduced to such a point that
weapon Weighing thousands of pounds
can be trained literally with one finger
and clamped instantly to fix it upon
the target
neither stout nor thin. and too rugged
looking to be handsome.
Unlike most naval officers he did
not marry until he had reached mid
die age. His wife was Washington
girl, Miss Susan H. Stetson. The
Fletcher home is in Washington al
1441 Massachusetts avenue, and they
have two young daughters.
Admiral Fletcher's flagship in Mexi.
