MaJ. Blocksom discoursed for an hour or more on theories, principally ns to the negroes could have done the shooting and escaped detection. At the Penrose court-martial ho testified that there is a decided difference be tween the bullet used in the Krag- Jorgensen cartridge and the bullet used In.the Springfield cartridge. Senator Foraker took a Krag and Springfield cartridge in his hand, hid ing all except the bullets and asked the witness to pick out the Spring- field. He selected the Krag instead. It was then shown that there is no difference in the bullets. Another point on which Maj. Blocksom contra dicted all of the negro witnesses was the time required to clean an army rifle that had been shot ten or a dozen times. He wns positive that tho guns could be cleaned in two or three min utes. He was sure also that tho guns could have been cleaned while tho men were moving and in the dark. He said lio had had no experience In cleaning guns however.

The work of filKng the jury is stop ped at the vacancy created by the eleventh peremptory challenge, so that t'aere remain three peremptory chal lenges. Beside that there is a chance that Tourtellotte, who objected to the infliction of the death penalty save in war or anarchy, will be excused when it comes time to swear the Jurj*. The?e circumstances will leave the date of the completion of the 'jury in doubt. Prior to the issuance of the venire, E. F. Richardson, for the de fense strongly intimated that the pre vious lists had ibeen made up In a manner unfair to the prisoner. He said that of the five thousand citizens available for jury duty, fully 1,200 were members of labor unions. One hundred and sixty talesmen had been before tfie court, yet only one of the number was a member of a labor union, and only two others were work ingmen. He protected against the drawing of talesmen from the f.irme: and merchantile classes rather than from the main body of citizens. Judge Wood in reply said that he had absolute confidence in Slier Hodgin and said that he would make no suggestion to him as to the manner in which he makes up hie list- Scruples against capital punishment and prejudice against foe acceptance of circumstantial evidence, rather than opinions that gave bias were the stumbling blacks to the talesmsh ex amined today. Man after man averred that he was against taking human life under any circumstances, and they all successfully resisted attempts to show that the -elief had been recently or conveniently advanced.
