The defense cOincided with Miley
and court adjourned until o'clock
this morning.
Challenges Limited.
In selecting the jury the court
limited Ihe number of challenges by
the state and the defense to three.
The state used this prerogative the
limited number of times, while tho
defense challenged twice.
Great care was exercised I'm the
choosing of the panel and nearly an
hour had elapsed before the first
member of the jury was agreed
upon. Court convened at $3.50 o'clock
and shortly before 10 o'clock the ex-
animation of the veniremen was
under way.
j. II. Miley, A. J. Biddison and
an attorney named Blake are in
charge of the case for the state.
while Martin & Moss and Pat MaIov
represent the defense. AIiley ex-
amined the jurors for the state and

derstood that Judge c. b. Stuart Of

Much Questioning.
During the examination of wit
nesses the utmost care was taken
to ascertain each mans views re-
garding the gambling and prohibitive
laws. The defense dwelt at length
In questioning the prospective Jurors
as to whether or not they had fur
nished any money to help prosecute
Mayor Wooden; whether they be-
longed to any of the secret societies
purported to. have schemed and con-
nived against the administration.
whether or not they had talked to or
been clients of Blake. Biddison, c. A.
Sanderson and Carl Magee, and
many other questions.
j. II. Miley declared the state
hoped to have all its evidence in
within two days and Martin said it
would take the defense just one day
longer. 1t is probable the case can
be ready for the jury within three
days.
When court convened Yesterday
morning the large district courtroom
was half-filled but the crowd grew
until it was comfortably filled in the
afternoon. The corridors were
crowded as we'll.
1t is expected a great crowd will
be in evidence this morning when
the examination Of witnesses begins.
Judge Conn Linn excused the bal
ance of the Jurors yesterday and told
them to report back for duty Friday.
Before court adjourned Judge Linn
admonished the jury who will sit in
the Wooden case not to talk to any
one and not to allow anyone to- talk
to them.
