FIND RELATIVE OF INDICTED MAN ON JURY

Continued From Pa?e One.

•hall said he knew nothing of the defendant or the case, but said that he was not in favor of running rooms where cards could be played for checks i that were good £or cigars* candy and merchandise.

The state passed the jury" at 11:30 o'clock. Attorney Whitlock then commenced the examination of the new jurors who had been secured since the defense passed the Jury for the first time, T'hi/rsday morning. Mr. Ritter was the first man questioned. He said lie knew nothing of the defendant or of the "Committee of Twenty," and that he was not opposed to running cigar stores or to( men shaking dice for cigars. He said he was opposed to allowing hoys to take part in dice games or card games, but that he was not opposed to social card playing among grown people. He said he would start the case with the presumption that the defendant was innocent.

Attorney Whitlock then put the following question to Mr. Ritter: "po you favor the forming of a committee for the purpose of raising a largo sum of m«n°y to employe special attorneys to take over the business of the prosecuting attorney's office, and carry on special prosecutions, when the prosecuting attorney stands ready to carry out the duties of his office?" Attorney O'Mara at once objected to the question and the objection was sustained by the court.

Mr. Martin wag next questioned by Attorney Whitlock. Mr. Martin said lie had done work for Mr. Piety at the attorney's home. He said he did not know the defendant or anything about the case, but that he had heard of the "committee of twenty," although he was not a member.

Thursday Afternoon.

"Eighteen veniremen were examined for the Circuit Court jury," Thursday afternoon, for the hearing of the case of Charles DePeugh. charged with keeping a room used for gaming. The jury waa passed once by Attorneys Whitlock and Walker, representing the defendant, but after this action was taken two of the jurors were excused by Attorneys Piety and O'Mara, representing the state.

The twelve men in the Jury box "when court adjourned Thursday evening were M. S- Lowe, W. I. Ritter,

William Baskett, Samuel Shilkett, Harley Ellsworth, Frank Dinkle, F. L. Black, Albert H. Watson, W. S. Axnxnerman, William H. Tague, Sylvan us Matheny and L. C. Turner.

At the opening of court the examination of the Jury was resumed by the defense. The questions asked each man were much the same: Did he know or was he related to any member of the "Committee of Twenty?" Did he! know the defendant? Was he opposed to the lawful playing o£ cards? Did lie hold prejudice against a man who operated a cigar store or pool room? Would he give the defendant a fair and Impartial trial according to the law and the evidence? Had he formed any opinion in regard to the case to be tried? Other questions along this name line were also propounded by the attorney*.

The first Juror to "be examined by the defense was Harley Ellsworth. His examination appeared to be satisfactory to the attorneys and they turned their attention to William A. McCmnell. Mr. McConnell said he had raised four boys and was prejudiced against gambling and that he had formed an opinion in the present case that it would require considerable evidence to change this opinion. He was at once challenged by Attorney Walker and the challenge sustained by Special Judtre Clan-nce A. Royse. McConnell was then excused from jury duty.

One Juror Taken Sick.

At this point Nicholas Ring reported to Judge Royse that he was sick, and would be unable to continue his duties. He also was excused.

Deputy Sheriff Cannon was then ordered to fill the panel, and he secured James R. Herrington in place of Mr. McConnell, and JU C. Turner in place Of Mr. Ring.

Messrs. Tagne, Ammerman nnfl CTurner appeared to be satisfactory to the attorneys, but Mr. Herrington said that after a man was indicted it would require evidence, to convince him that the man was innocent. Ho was then challenged by Attorney Whitlock. and the challenge sustained. Herrington was then excused. William Baskett was secured by the sheriff to till this vacancy.

Prospective Jurors Liowe, Baskett and L.

Turner were passed with

short examinations. The defense ceased its examination for a moment and excused Elisha A. Williams, who had previously admitted that he was a Methodist. Again the sheriff was sent on a "man hunt" and he returned with Samuel Shilkett. Shilkett was given a short examination, appeared to satisfy the attorneys, nd the defense announced they would pass the Jury as It stood. 1 firing the examination of Mr. Baskett it developed that he was not a freeholder or a householder and Judge Royse was on the point of excusing him, but Attorney Whitlock maintained that this was not ground for excusing a man from Jury duty if he was
