Above is the jury which was finally
selected in circuit court yesterday at
ternoon TO try Sam Fryer. local sec
ond hand dealer. who is charged with
receiving stolen goods. Difficulty was
encountered in securing the panel and
the case is being bitterly fought at
every step. 5. r. Kenworthy, B. F.
Schriver and Andrew Olson represent
the defendant. and States Attorney F.
E. Thompson is prosecuting.
States Attorney Thompson, in his
opening statement to the jury, was
frequently interrupted by counsel for
defense on the ground that the county
prosecutor was arguing to the jury.
Mr.. Thompson stated that he expected
to prove that on the night of Nov. .,
1913, the Reid company and the store
of Hugh H. Parks, both Moline hard
ware concerns. were burglariZed of
cutlery and knives by Silas Bender
and Dominic Gillespie. goods taken
from the former amounting to $3.50
and from the latter S177, and that az
ter the theft the boys went to Giles
pies home and hid the booty in the.
barn until early morning. when trip
was made to the defendants store.
Fryer Buys Goods7
Mr-Thompson alleges that the boys
took the goods to Flyers barn, where
Fryer offered to buy them fully. and
that when this offer was made, Giles
pie Indignantly replied, I'D rather
throw the stuff in the river than ac-
I'D u-aG
finally agreed that the sum of $3.50
would be given IN cash, and $50 on
credit, TO pay for fiashlight which
the boys had purchased. and for car
fare 10 Moline. Mr. Thompson stated
that he expected TO show that Fryer
had told the boys that he needed
knives and that he would buy from
them anything in that line they Sc
cured. He also cited a number of
other burglaries 10 which Bender has
confessed. in which Fryer is alleged
TO have acted as a fence" Attorneys
for Fryer strongly objected to these
being related to the jury by the pros
ecutor in his opening statement
Judge Olmsted took the question I'M

morning he admitted the statements.
