FRANK rice TRIAL
IN PROGRESS
AT MANI

Miami Feb. 10.-A jury has at last
been secured in the Frank Rice muir
der trial and the taking Of testimony
began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The case has been attracting wide
spread attention on account of the no
toriety given the alleged murder which
grew out OF the famous Homestead
bank robbery on September Is last.
The work of securing the jury
has consumed ten days. during which
about six hundred names were drawn
before the necessary twelve men were
secured to try the accused This was
due to the fact that the publicity CIV
en- the case caused many of the We
niremen to form fixed opinions as to
the guilt or innocence of the pris-
oner. while a large majority OF those
called upon to serve as jurymen said
that they were opposed to capital pun
ishment.
( The Case Don Trial.
/ The trial. which will begin today.
will be that OF Frank Rice. who Is
charged with the murder Of Charles
Williams, one of the three members of
the sheriff's posse who were killed
at Everg,adc tank, few miles below
Florida City. on the Saturday morn-
ing following the bank robbery. and
the states theory is that the men &C
cused of that crime killed the three
sheriff's deputies in an effort to get
past them to their boat which was
tied at Jewish Creek, near the rail-
road bridge.
Rice was indicted for the murder
of Charles II. Williams separate from
the other two deputies, while Hugh
Alderman was indicted on a similar
charge, and the two men are to be
tried separately.
