 Court will come in again at 10 O. clock this fThursday) morning. Most of the jurors examined said | that what knowledge they had of the case came from reading the Norwich Bulletin. Each one was asked by the states attorney whether he had any conscientious scruples against capi- l tai punishment, and each one was al- so asked hy the attorneys for the ac- eused whether they would be able te 1 give due consideration to any iHstruc- 1 tiens they might receive from the court as to self defense or justihablf | homicide.
 Across the court room from Sals. | bury in the pen sat his wife and theiI l family of five children. two boys, two l girls and a babe in arms. They had 3 1 row of front seats behind the rail that 1 shuts off the spectators and sat tbert l all through both tke morning and aft l ernoen sessions. Salsbury's gaze efter 1 wandered to his little family and wheI l there was 8 recess, some of the small CT ones would smile and wave thei l hands to him.
 Whom he was taken frsm the eeur roen to go back to jail after court ad 1 jouinod, they crowded down the stair 1 way as close as they could get to him l but were kept away from touching hin by the arm of Janitor Oscar l.. Main 1 who had personal charge of the prison ! CT and took him back to jail in an au
 tomobile with Deputy Sheriff Manue
 !. Martin sitting in the back seat witt i the prisoner.
