Better Time Than Before.
Counting the four hours yesterday.
the jury was selected in six hours

less than the time consumed in Sc
lecting the first jury, when the de-
Tense used up nineteen of its twenty

ten.
Fourteen more veniremen were to-
day excused from service because of
preconceived opinion too strong to
be overcome by any evidence that
might be offered. Twenty-three
veniremen in all were disqualified for
this cause. That this preconception
is against the accused, is an open
secret.

The unexpected sensation was furn-

that Will Blackwell had only that day

Camp Beauregard

Camp Beauregard
Dear cousin Florence:
Will take a couple minutes off to
write you and give you a few ideas
of army life. The Camp is about
seven miles from Alexandria, and is
reached by train or jitney. The road
is horrible, so if you value your men
tai poise you travel by train.
The Camp is large, built on sever
al hills, and contains about $4,000
acres. We are about mile from
Headquarters. The supplies which
are handled by the Quartermaster
Corps are kept in immense ware
houses, which are connected by rail-
road tracks and graveled roads. You
can just stand at one end of "Ware-
house Row." as it is called, and look
down it and see nothing but ware
houses, that seem to meet in the dis
lance.

living in a tent, and eating in a
large mess hall made of rough pine
lumber, and ccreened, on the same
