MINCO COUNTY
BALKS EFFORTS TO
EMPANEL JURY
After Excusing 500 Ven
uemen Court Sends De-
puties to Summon More.

WILLIAMSON. W. Va, Feb. l.
ca nthere be found. in all Mingo
County, one dozen men willing or
qualified to try the twenty-One men
from Matewan who are charged
with the murder Of Detective Albert
Felts?
At the end Of the sixth day since
the case has been called no one
familiar with conditions here would
venture a positive answer to that
question. The consensus of opinion
appeared 20 incline to the negative.
Two ways out, in addition to that
of getting a jury from another
county, were suggested in some
quarters. One is the impaneling Of
women and the other the drawing
of colored men. Both courses, though
widely discussed tonight, are gem
orally held unlikely.
Again a squad of deputy sherS3s
was dispatched tonight into all di-
rcCtions, to the numberless little
mining settlements in the county
and up into remote parts of the
hills that tower over the West Vir-
ginia bank Of the Tug River, to
summon an additional 200 men for
jury duty.
500 Names Exhausted.
\ list Of 500 already has been ex-
hausted. OF these thirteen have
been tentatively accepted. Yester-
day there were nineteen. only one
less than the required preliminary
total. But hardly had court con-
vened this morning when six of
them were excused because they had
served on a petty jury within the
last two years, and another had
discovered he was a relative of one
of the defendants
Then a couple of new veniremen
were sent into the box, but two
others were excused. Each of the
thirteen now in the box faces posi-
Bile discharge after another griIlins.
A rumOr to the effect that the
State does not desire to have a jury
made up of men from MingO County
was put up to Capt. S b. Avis, of
Charleston. one of the leading at
torneys for the prosecution. He
fatty denied il. saying that the
state was anxious to get a jury as
quickly as possible and proceed with
the trial proper.
There is a bill pending before the
West Virginia legislature which
would make it possible to draw a
jury from another county il Judge
Robert d. Bailey. who is trying the
case. found it Impossible to get urp
in MinEO, but the Legislature does
not meet again until March Is.
The bill incidentally is father hy
