surance man, according to the sher-
iff of Carter county today, will re-
place Sheriff Buck Garrett, who last

rIcor to make bond
After filing his oath Of office and
executing a bond, Acting Sheriff
London Immediately began drawing
a jury OF 100 men from which the
Garrett jury will be selected. Judge

The suspension Of Garrett and the
resignation Of his deputies today be-
gan TO show its effects on the GRIM
inal court. Judge Champion found
W. necessary 10 adjourn today's ses-
sion until tomorrow, when it was
learned that London was experienc-
ing difficulty in obtaining deputies
to serve with him, and there was no
one to serve summons for the defend
ant whose case was scheduled for to-

Attorneys estimated that il will
require from two weeks TO a month
for CARROTS trial alone. Judge

have two or three hundred witness

upon wholly inexperienced sheriff :
