THE CIBIII CASE.
Tbe Jury Had* Bp-CrswIld Court
K<M*m —Interest Mammied.
Yeaterday morning in tbe Superior
Ccrrt tbe case of the State vs. Abner F.
Gibson was called. This case has be
come a caueeeel.bre in Macon. The inter
est centering about it has not diminished.
The court room yesterdsy morning was
crowded with jurors aud spectators, many
finding plaoe• in the gallery, and tbe
crowd remained during the day with
some diminution, although the rather
uninteresting process of choosing a jury
engaged the time pt tbe court.
Judge G. J Wright, of the Albany cir
cuit, ascended to the desk at half past
nice o'clock, announced that he had been
requested by Judge Simmons to preside in
a criminal oaae, the State against Abner
F. Gibson, and asked if the parties were
ready. Said he: The State is represent
ed by Messrs. Prcudfit and Solicitor
General Bartlett, and the prisoner by
Messta. Whittle & Whittle, Sam Hall
A Son., G. J. Harris, Isaac Hardeman
and J. H. Blount. Gentlemen are you
ready? The State announces first.
The State called the list of its wit.
nesses and answered ready. The defense
through Coi. Whittle, called ready.
The Judge a-ktd if a regular panel of
jurors had been made. The call of the
jurors was then commenced and when
twenty-four bad answered to their
names, Judge Wright asked,' if any of
those who bad boen called had any
oxense to make. Tae call was resumed,
and at tbe close of the call of the second
twenty-four, the came question as to ex
cuses wss asked.
'J he first panel was*seated in the jnry
boxes and tbe called proceeded and one
hundred and one juorors answered to their
names.
The Judge then announced that tbe
called wcutd be suspended as about two
hundred more names remained uncalled,
and; a.-ktd if any whose names had
been called, or who hod been summoned,
had any excuses to tnako why they could
not serve.
A number spprosched tbe Judge's eest,
one jnror had a siok family and was rxon-
sed, another was a bonded officer of a
railroad and was no! excused; another
said bis bearing wss defective; the Jodge
queried. “Do yon hear me?” “Yes’’
"we’ll try yon for a juror.” The Chief
of Polioe wae not excused ; a road com
missioner, Deputy United States Mar
shal, a juror with palpitation of tho hesrt
and a practicing pbysioisn, a justice of
the peace and n man whose name wss
not in tho jury box fared bettor. A ju
ror gave in as an excuse that be bad to
work at night and then shifted to tbe ex
cuse that bo was too unwell to serve.
Tbe Judge informed him (hut be mast
either go to bed or 6erve, end directed
tbe Sheriff to send a bailiff after him
every day and if he was at work
to bring him before tbe court. A teacher
in the pnblio ecbcols was ordered to tbe
jury box; a superintendent of a mauu*
Picturing company wss informed that the
law could not excuse him ; another man
said ho had thirty or forty hands under
him who would not work while be was
away, end was informed that they would
have to try and get along without him.
Many trivial excuses wero offered and
r< jeated in a summary way, much to the
amusement of tbe crowd.
Tho absentees wero called and their
names turned over to the Solicitor-Geo
oral.
Tho first panel of forty-eight was cal!-,
ed np.
Tho first juror was Mr. Z. B. Wheeler
He had formed and expressed an opinion
from having heard a portion of the evi
dence. *
To Mr. Emanuel Domingos, the pris
oner objected.
Mr. C. C. 3feitb was pronounced com
petent. Ho had read a portion of the
testimony.
Mr. Hall—I want to ehow that he can
not be without bias.
The Judge then said proceed.
Mr. Hall—Mr. Smith—
Solicitor General—I object to him ask
ing tae juror a question. He has ren
dered himself competent.
Mr. Bntleti road authority for his
position.
Mr. Whittle argued that they wanted
merely to explain what tho juror said
himself.
Ji.u’0 Wright—This is not strictly
within the rule, bnt tbe object of the law
is to try by perfectly unbiased juries. I
think it ia in the discretion of the court.
I have found it best in a case ot tnis
magnitude to get perfectly impartial ju
rors.
Mr. Hall—We want him to make an
explanation.
Mr. Smith proceeded to explain hia po
sition.
The Solicitor asked tbe voire dire ques
tion again.
Mr. Smith—Is reading the paper hear
ing tbe testimony under oatL?
The Court—What was yonr impressioL?
Mr. Smith—I only read a portion, bnt
formed and expressed an opinion, and
am of the same opinion still.
Mr. Hall—Where did yon read it?
Mr. Smith—Ia the TaLxonaru and
Mesunceu.
Mr. Hall—Whose testimony?
Mr. Smith—Askew’s ; end only u por
tion of it.
Mr. Hall—That is yaar opinion yet?
Mr. Smith—Yes.
Mr. Hall—I have one other question :
I would like to prove that the report in
the Teliobavu asd Messxxgeb was cor
rect ia regard to the testimony.
The Conrt—I don’t think it necessary.
The prisoner is entitled to enter this case
with impartial jurors. I set Mr. Smith
aside.
Mr. Booth had formed and expressed
an opinion, os also had the next three.
Mr. Beddingfield had formed and ex
pressed an opinion from reading the
newspapers.
Mr. Joshna Tinley was next called,
anil stated that he wss prejudiced.
By the Conrt—Would yon not do ths
prisoner justice, on your oath?
Mr. Tinley—I have not seen the crime
committed ncr heard the evidence under
oath, but from other reading he stands
adjudged, and I have formed and ex
pressed sn opinion.
The Court—You have no prejudice
agi.ir.st the prisoner himself?
Witness—No; I have no prejudice
e gainst him. I have not Seen the crime
committed nor—
The Court—I don’t want any speech
and will not have it. The question is as
pi .in a3 tho Ecgiish language can make
if. You seem to be an intelligent man
aiid yon can answer then yes or no.
The court then put the question and
explained that under the last question
bias or prejudice can arise between the
State and the accused from any c-u *.
The witness was set aside.
Mr. William Kin* was objected to by
the State. *
The first juror sworn w..s Mr. Charles
Craig. He was the eleventh o! the
panel.
Five more were rapidly set aside.
Mr. E. P. Smith did not recollect
whether he heard the evidence or not.
Ha was compelled to answer categori
cally.
Number nineteen was prejudiced.
Mr. John G. Coleman was accepted
and eworn.
The prisoner objected to the twenty-
third joror, and the State to the twenty-
sixth.
Some little sensation was caused when
Mr. Sol Johnson’s name was called. He
did not recollect whether he had beard
tbe evidence or not.
The Court—That answer won’t do.
You have bean in court before? Mr.
Johnson—Yes, sir; I can’t recollect,
theugb. Tho Court—Mr. Sheriff,
take Hr. Joueou to jiil until be can an
swer. Jobsoc: Well, I will have to ga.
The oourt called him before the bar, and
after conversing awhile Mr. Johnson an
swered. He stated that according to
the best of his knowledge he would an
swer, and answered no. Tbe juror was
pronounced competent end objeoted to
by tbe State.
Mr. John Marks was sworn cn the Old
Testament side of the Bible, the Judge
saying, that is your own book, yon can’t
go back on il; that’s Moses’ wait:
Mr. A. J. English, the thirty-seventh
juror, end Mr.Mr. Gnarlca Pfenning, the
forty-seventh juror, wero sworn in. Oae
o. her juror to whom the Scale objected ex
hausted the first panel. The second pan
el was called.
Many were prejudiced, one oppoeed lo
capital punishment, and not until the
twenty-seventh juror had been called
was another added to tbe jury in the
person of Mr. J. W. Hines. The twenty*
ninth, Mr. A. M. Lockett,was next sworn
and the court took a recess until 3 o’olpek,
Oa reassembling tbe oall wae resumed,
ond the second juror, Mr. Lavoisier La
mar, ewora and took his seat, aud the
next juror, W. M. Bonner, was also
sworn in. A gap of three followed, when
another juror was taken in, Mr. Robert
Hamlin.
Another panel followed and the elev
enth and twelfth jurors, Benjamin Trd*
well and William Parker taken, and
made the tenth and eleventh members of
the jury.
Juror after juror was then set aside.
The jury had been made up except one
man. Both eidea became very partioulir
Daring the oall the court said that a ju
ror must either have seen the crime
committed orhuard evidence under oath,
That is the question. If the juror has
read the papers aud formed and expressed
i.n opinion on what ho has read in the
papers, then he can inform the court of
that fact.
Air. H. A. Knight announced that ho
was opposed to capital punishment. The
Judge asked if a man were to shoot his
grandmother from behind a log ou a dark
night would he be opposed to hanging
him. [Laughter.^] The juror responded
••Yes,” and was sec aside for cause.
A new panel was required, and an addi
tional forty eight were sworn,making one
hundred and'ninety.two men sworn in
the case. Mr. W. B. Pettie, the second
man of the last panel, was sworn in, be
ing the one hundred add sixty-sixth juror
put upon bis bis voire dire. After minute
instructions 10 the jury, the conrt ad
journed tili h*lf-past eight o’clock this
morning.
To sum up the day’s work, it may be
said it was a good one. The jury has
been made up much more rapidly than
was anticipated.
Tbe juryisoompotod as follows :
Charles Craig, J.G. Coleman, Ocarles
Pfenning, J. W. Hines, of tbe city ; A.
J. English, of Godfrey District; A. M
Lockett, of Howard District; Lavoisier
Lrmar, W. M. Bonner, Rooert Hamlin,
Benj. Tidwell, William Parker, W. B.
Pettie, of the Warrior District.
This morning the evidence will be
commenced aud will probably consume
the day,
A Temperate City.
We venture to say, without the fear of
successful contradiction, that Miaou, on
Sunday list, was thamoit temperate city
in tha United States. NotapVios where
“the rosy* is dispensed could be found
with “gates aj ir.” but the fines which tad
been placed oa the dealers served to keep
the locka wall turned and the doors olose-
ly shut. Tap devotee* who had forgotten
or did not realize the coming crisis went
monrning about the street.
Tub enforcement of the Sunday laws
in regard to vending spirits would bo
followed by a decided improvement of the
moral tone of tha city. Nearly all the
worst crimes committed lo this oity in the
past two years can he traoed to Sunday
drinking. We are gird to see .the author
ities have taken the measure so vigorous
ly in hand.
