In the trial of the case, the state is represented by Frank L. Moore while the law firm of Suppiger & Ogden is appearing for the defense. The whole day was consumed in effort to secure a jury. The regular panel was exhausted early in the day and it became necessary to issue special venire. Because the sheriff's office had been subpoenaed as witnesses, they were disqualified in the calling of the special venire. Justice of the Peace W. Barge was substituted to perform this duty.

It is evident that the case is to be hard fought and at the hour of going to press, the jury is far from complete. The prominence of the defendant and the nature of the alleged crime are attracting much attention to the case.
