the supreme law of thesland." This revision has been underway in many counties and has been vir- tually completed in Morgan Coun- ty.
 No official jury board has exist ed in Jackson County since Jan. l, according to a reliable authority. There has been only one member of the board, and the law requires at least two members before any work can be done.
 Two other members recently were appointed by the governor, but have not yet received their commissions. Upon the receipt of their commissions. the board will organize. Then they will be or dered by Judge A. E. Hawkins to refill the Jackson County jury box es. It Is believed this procedure will take some three weeks.
 Indictments Two Months Off
 Even though special grand jury session probably will be called when the jury list is completed. it is believed 1t will be at least 60 days before indictments can be re- turned. once the defendants are indicted, the cases will go into the court, where they were sentenced jurisdiction of the Decatur County after change of venue.
 The indictments will be based on new warrants sworn early this summer by Mrs. Victoria Price, one of the alleged victims of the at- tack which occurred in a railway car here March 31, 1891. Mrs. Price charged each of the nine de- fendants with criminal assault in the warrants. Ruby Bates was the other victim of the alleged attack.
 Two Under Age
 The defendants are Haywood Patterson, Clarence Norris. Char lie Weems, Ozie Powell, Willie Robertson, Andy Wright and Olen Montgomery. Two of the Negroes named in the warrant have been remanded to the Jurisdiction of the juvenile court. They are Roy White and Eugene Williams.
 In the four years that have elapsed since the alleged attack the cases have gone through three Alabama court trials, resulting in convictions and death sentences which have been reversed twice by the U. s. Supreme Court and once by an Alabama trial judge.
 Tn the fall of 1892 the U. s. Su- preme Court reversed the death sentence convictions on the grounds they had not had sufficient time to prepare a defense. The following spring, Patterson was convicted 6 second time when tried at Decatur on a change of venue. Circuit Judge James E. Horton gave him another trial on the grounds of in- sufficient evidence.
 Convicted Third Time
 Patterson's third conviction and Norris second came in December, 1893, when they were tried before Judge w. W. Callahan at Decatur after Horton excused himself. These were the convictions reversed by the U. S. Supreme Court in it's most recent decision.
 At the first trial. Mrs. Price identified the Negroes who she said attacked her and those who attacked her companion. Each Ne gro denied the charge, but gave evidence discriminating the others.
 This testimony was repudiated by Ruby Bates at Patterson's second trial before Judge Horton.

 It has been learned that no new jury rolls have been made out in this (Jackson) county. The Negro defendants in the case will be re- tried at Decatur, Ala. in Morgan County, but because of the Su- preme Court ruling they must be re-indicted in this county.
 The court struck at the very Foundation of the case when 1t sruled in effect the indictments which accused the Negroes of crim- Ainal assault upon two white wo- men were illegal because members Eof their race had been systematic ally excluded from service on the grond jury.
