EXPECT PRuETT
TO ENTER PLEA
OF GUILTY Soon


Developments Of the first two
days of the trial of the three men
accused Of the murder Of Robert
Swearingen. indicate that Thomas
e. Pruett, who 10 accused Of firing
the fatal shot, will soon enter = plea
Of guilty and become = witness for
the state. It Ii not expected, how
ever, that this plea will be made be-
fore the jury is selected. Or should
q postponement be made at the trial
Of the other two men, the state
might lose Pruett as . witness.
In the attempt Of the lawyers for
the defense to postpone the trial 1t
has been noticeable that c. D. Nc
Coy Of Chicago and James Allen OF
Aledo, who are defending Pruett,
have taken no part in asking the
court to defer the trial. Little in
terest has been taken by Pruett's
lawyers in the choosing Of the jury,
they seeming satisfied with the. Sc
lections of the state lawyers.
OF the n men who were exam
ined for jury duty only two were
tentatively accepted. They are F.
w. Hartzell Of Suez township and
A. w. Smith Of Green township.
Deputy Sheriff Seiders was in
structed by the court late yesterday
to have 50 men from out
side Of Aledo, II possible, in the
court room by . o'clock this morn
ing. Because Of the fact that Sher-
III J. P. Fleming will be . witness he
is not allowed to summon jurymen.
At 9 O'Clock this morning IS men
from Mercer county were on hand
and the work Of selecting the jury
went on.
C. D. Mccoy, who is defending
Pruett, returned today to Chicago,
where he has several cases in court
which are scheduled to be heard
this week He will probably re-
turn here the last Of the week. Tom
Jones Of Chicago, well known prize
fight promoter and uncle of
'Bricky Wood, was in the court
room yesterday, having arrived in
Aledo in the morning.
Despite the fact that 90 far little
Of interest has been done, the seats
In the court room have been we'll
filed and it is expected that once
The trial is fairly started it will be
necessary to turn the people away,
as the order has been issued that |,
no one is to he admitted to the room
after the seats have been filled.
