l eaton being recorded, although in several instances the state passed tentative jurors, the defense challeng ing which was sustained. while in an. other instance. challenge by the state and resisted by the defense was sustained by the court.
 The list of prospective jurors. out of which less than 40 remained from yesterdays proceedings. was reduced by two this morning. when it was discovered tha; two yeniremen from San simon. Fred Scobie and John Y. Fritag. had registered. but only had their first naturalization papers and therefore were not eligible to vote CT to act as jurors. Following the fact being established they were excused by the court Two more iur. ors from San Simon. who had been delayed yesterday. however. brough: the list back to where it was before when they reported shortly after court opened
 The following jurors were examic- ed and excused, having fixed opil- ions: Wm. Graham. Bisbee: Wm Fitting, Apache; E. r.. Reed. B!sbee; Pink Murry. Hereford; II. E. Matney. Pearce; J. B. Cross. Paradise: NJ w. Bostw.ck, Gleeson; j. W Alfred. St. David; J. w. Gull. Benson: E. A. Michael. Bowie; Walter Edwards, Apache; Clarence Cavanaugh. Tomb stone; L. C. Cook, Lowell; Chas. s. Boil, Cochise; ! H. Grant. Lowell. The l7th man. D. D. Simms. of Will. cox was called to the stand when noon recess was taken.
 The 24th juror to complete the panel, which had been one man short since C. F. Burnett, who com mitted suicide yesterday at Court land, had been excused when he stated he had an opinion. was se- cured this afternoon, at the after noon session of court, being the tenth man up for examination.
 He was John x. Sabin, farmer of Fairbank, formerly of Benson, and was accepted only after Attorney Geo. Roarke for the state had chai- iensed and the sta:e had resisted.

 Should the attempt be successful it means that another will have to be qualified to fill his place, and the court retained all jurors now on the list to report into court at 5:3o. If, however, the juror is not unseated it is expected the court will adjourn to Monday morning = give both sides time to exercise Peremptory challenge and be ready for trial Monday, when actual intro-- l duction of evidence will be started.
 An important happening of the day occurred this afternoon shortly be- fore court opened, when commit tee Of the American Legion of Bis bee consisting of T. 8. cowan, G. 1 8.

 The committee told Mir. Roarke they resented his statement and requested that he make a public
