JURORS OPPOSE
DEATH PENALTY
Preparation of Case Against
Earl Mccoy Tedious.

Many Indianapolis citizens are not in
favor Of capital punishment.
This became known when many jurors
were excused from sitting in the case Of
Earl Mccoy, a negro, charged with the
murder of Detective Lee Stringer on
Oct. 80, last
Attorneys at o'clock this afternoon re-
sumed their efforts to obtain a jury in
the criminal court. The work of obtain
ing jury began early yesterday.
SPECIAL VENIRE
HIT BY ILLNESS.
Judge James Collins has been informed
by many of the hundred men sum-
moned as part Of a special venire that
they are unable to appear because Of ILL
ness in their families.
The defense had used fifteen of it's
twenty two perenptory challenges yester-
day.
Some jurors claimed they are in favor
Of capital punishment, but these were
not favorably retained by the defense.
In the case OF Abe Spaulding who
was Jointly indicted with Mccoy, and
charged with firing the shot. the state
failed to obtain capital punishment.
There appeared some doubt in the mind
Of the jury that Spaulding fired the
shot
The state is said to be prepared TO
ask the death penalty in McCoy's case.
The defense will pin its entire strength
on confessian said to have been made
by Sparkling and introduced by the state
that Spaulding did the shooting.

showing that Bryant is owner of lot No.

Bryant in his petition claims that

the lot in Haughville at tax delinquent
sale. Smith, according to the suit, claims
that the lot was never redeemed within

The petition stated that smith, on
learning that the socalled redemption was
a fraud, went into the superior court to
disclose the redemption to be false and
that the court set the redemption aside -
Since that, time Smith has transferred
his rights to Bryant who is the petit
TONER for the mandate.
Bryant claims that on Feb. IA last he
presented Fesler with the courts finding
