AS soon as the jury was complete,
they were sworn by Clerk of Court
Gran and were then briefly address
ed by Judge Coffey. He said that he
wished to impress upon them the
Importance of the case and that
they were to consider only the evil
dence offered during the trial. He
warned them not to consult with
each other about the case until the
trial was over, and not to form an
opinion until that time. He also
asked them not to associate with
any one else during the continuance
of the trial. \.
A recess was then taken until 2
p. m.
In opening the Mueller case Attor-
ney Thorp related the circumstances
which are alleged to have surround
ed the commission of the crime. Az
ter telling of the shooting of the
Hens family, he said that the old
folks went into the house and sent
Johanna over to neighbor's for
help. Ida ran up stairs, very much
frightened. At last there was a
knock and the old woman said, "1s
that you, father" He said, Eyes. p"
as John Mueller with you?'
EYES,"
After Mueller had been made to
lay his gun down he was allowed to
come in. Then he asked to be for
given.
After he got out doors, he said,
"Do you know why I shot you? 1t
was because I wanted to marry Jo-
hanna.
Then he left and was arrested.
After relating the above story,
Atty. Thorp closed with plea for
impartial judgment on the part OF
the jury.
As noted in Mondays issue OF the
Alert, the Mueller jury was COM
pleted just before noon of that day.
When court reconvened at 2 p. M,
the prosecutor gave brief state
ment of the case to the jury, and
then he introduced his first witness.
Frederick Hens was the witness
sworn. r
He testified that he was Of RUS
sian birth, was an American citizen,

convicting on Ts:cumstantial evi-
dence alone, partly the fact that
he was told by Ah Thorp that
there was no capital punishment in
this state. Life Imprisonment is
the heaviest sentence that can be
pronounced upon a man. This was
news to several of the other jurors,
as we'll, and it relieved the feelings
of some that it was not their duty to
sit in a case upon the outcome of
which would depend the life or
death of the prisoner.
To further test the impartial
frame of mind of the jurors, the
prosecutor asked:
do you think that it is just as
important, if he is proven guilty,
that the dignity of the state be up
held, as it is important, if he is
proven innocent, that he be acquit-
ted?"
The question was objected to by
Mueller's lawyers, but Judge Coffey
overruled the objection and it was
answered.
The examination of jurors was in
progress late Saturday afternoon.
Mueller has been in the court
room throughout the examination OF
the veniremen and has maintained
a quiet interest in all of the pro-
ceedings. He occasionally engages
in a whispered conversation with his
attorneys.
He does not impress the onlook-
ers at all unfavorably, as he sits
there watchings the beginning of the
long struggle that is to bring him
years of confinement or his freedom.
After two whole days of question
ing of the veniremen drawn in the
Mueller murder case, and after the
first panel had been exhausted and
several extra talismen had been
summoned, the jury was completed
at 11:45 Monday.
The following are to be in the
jury box for the next week or two,
while the case for and against John
Mueller is argued

SALTS IN HOT WATER
CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says we must make kidneys clean
the blood and pimplca
disappear.

Pinlples, sores and boils usua'iy &c
suit from toxins, posons and imDl7l't.5
which are generated in the bowels ald
then absorbed into the blood through
the very ducts which should absorb only
nourishment to sustain the body.
It is the function OF the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
IL many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid Of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
III the form of pinples.
The surcst way to clear the skin OF
these cruDtioas, says 4 noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces Of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in a glass Of hof water
each morning before breakfast for ore
week. This will prevent the formation
OF toxins in the bowels. 1t also stialr-
1ates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clearing the skin OF
pimples.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia Here
you have a pleasant. effervescent drink
which usually makes pimples disappear;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys as well.
