 CASE IS VERY SLOW
Another Special Venire of 9 Jurymen Necessary to Fill Panel-First Witness May
 Go on Stand This Morning.

TOMBSTONE. Dec. 6. (SpeciaD- The work of securing the jury in the
 case of the State vs Mike Connors, | charged with murder. is progressing slowly but it is expected that it will be secured and the first witress put
 on in the morning.
 Yesterday, when the return Of the special venire was made, it was dis covered that the panel only contained Al names, an objection was made ny w. B. Cleary, the attorney for the de fendan. and an order was maue for another special venire of nine more to be on hand this morning SC that there was nothing done yesterday in that case. After qualifying the nine this morning it took all the forenoon to examine and pass three of the jur- ors. This afternoon they made more rapid progress and the necessary twenty-nine were passed. It is ex- pected that the trial of the case will take up all of the present week. w. F. Walker. who was found gull ty by the trial juror of selling intoxi- eating liquor, was sentenced to serve a term of IA months in the county jail | and to pay fine of $500. He is the first one to stand trial since the re- cent election and from the short time in which the jury was out it is plainly evident that there has been no change of sentiment in Cochise County regard ing the bootlegger and that he must go: Walker had been arrested on one or two other charges of selling as well
 as on one charge of bringing in 16 barrels of beer He will be taken out to work on the road camp.
 Bert Reynolds, who was arrested in Douglas for selling liquor a few days ago, entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to serve a term of 3 months and to pay fine of S25.
 In the case of the State vs O. S. French, the defendant came into court and asked permission to withdraw his motion for an appeal. This was grant ed and he then entered plea of gull ty to the second charge and was or dered released on a suspended sen tence of two years. It is understood i that an effort will be made to have the pardon board release him on ac- count of his family being in need. A ! letter will be sent to them asking that this be done so that they can act on it at their meeting to be held on the 18th at Florence.
