The prisoner wan In court when this
Jury was empanelled. Judge God", who
was on the bench with Judge Hughes, |
delivered a brief but impressive charge
and the body retired at noon. At 2:"Q
p. m. the f< '.'.owing report was returned:
True Dills?John Anderson, murder ot"
Mate William Wallace Sounders.
Joint Anderson, murder of Captain
John w Whitman.
.lohn Anderson, destruction of schoon?
er Olive Pecker.
The grand jury was discharged.
The case of the United States vs.
Anderson for the murder of Sounders
was culled and will be tried llrst. Coun
1 for the defense demurred to the
Indictment, saying It did not state
whereon the high seas the alleged crime
was committed. The demurrer was
overruled.
The prisoner was arraigned and Clerk
Fowler read tho Indictment to him.
To tlie usual question of "Are you
guilty or not guilty," Anderson replied
it guilty," and there was not a
tremor in his voice.
The matter of empanelling .the petit
jury being tlie next In order, Mr. Mc
intosh moved to quash the writ on
which the venire was summoned, on j
the ground Unit it did not state that it
was summoned to try this particular
isc. The motion was overruled.
The jury was then empanelled and
stands as follows: 13. F. Rosson, J. G.
Simmons. Ii. C. McFnrlnnd, B. O. Wil?
liamson, G. It. Lnngdcn, c. P. Fltchett,
f. C. Shndbolt, S. S. Kelly, C. B. Oliver.
John Wen Is:, M. F. Gordon and W. L
Newtdll. These gentlemen were then
taken by Baliffs T. H. Cross. C. J.
Creekmore and Frank Story.
The examination of ihe venlrcmen
was interesting IT ;i little tedious. They
were very carefully and closely ques?
tioned, and all (hose expressing a doubt
as to his ability to give the case an
Impartial consideration were thrown
on:. One man said he had f irmed an
opinion from reading The Virginian.
He was disqu.-ilili. d. Another, after
stating that he had formed an opinion
of the case land was not opposed lo
ca,pltal punishment, surprised every
one by saying he did not think he could
give the case a fair trkii, because his
sympathies were with the prisoner, and
ho did not think his oath or anything
else would prevent his heilig Inclined in
his favor. He was promptly disquali?
fied. Mr. Mclniosb interrogated the
venlrcmen very closely upon the extent
of their newspaper reading, and every
one, fr, .a the bench to the bar, seemed
glad when a man was found who did
not read the papers, for "you have no",
missed much," Mr. Mcfntosh told one
of them, which was a joke.
Com i was adjourned until 10 o'clock
