tine with his II companions by going
to the dining-room in the hotel. After
partakng of cereal, he became nauseated
and collapsed. He was assisted to a
waiting room in the front part of the
hotel and Dr. w. r. Hardness was called.
The physician found Mr.. Baird to be suf-
lfering from an attack of Indigestion
and he declared it would be unwise to
move the man Immediately from the
room, so the other IL jurymen were held
in the little room under the charge of
the officers assigned to the task.
Presently the condition of Juror Baird
improved and he expressed q desire to
20 to the courthouse with the other
Jurors but DIR. Hardness refused to per-
nit him to 60 1t was then that the
court excused the jury until Monday
morning at 8 o'clock, Deputy Sheriff
Dennis Donahue going with the II jury
men to their regular quarters and Dep
uty Sheriff Charles Smith remaining in
charge of Juror Baird.

torneys for the selection of jury to
