N. Martin, c. s. Robinson, and
Willie s. Robe.
Before appointing special jury
commissioners Judge Showalter
had the twelve jurors sworn to as
certain II. they all could qualify
for. service. The questioning de-
yeloped that D. P. Smith one of
the Jurors was a justice of the

qualified him for service.

jury Commissioners and authorIz-
ed to summons i've additional

Very few crimes of serious
nature are to be investigated by
the present jury and 1t will prob

The most important case to be in
vestlgated will be the. killing OF
Andy 0open an escaped convict
from the state penltentiary at
Moundsville by members Of the
city police court.
