FXH.WKTS M'NAM AR A VENIRE.
But one Talcwman Left Out of 125.
Los Angeles, Oct. 25.?The last ve
nireman of the 125 summoned for
Jury service In the McNamara mur?
der case was under examination when
POOH adjourned today and the prob?
lem of examining more venlremen be
ame Immediate. C. K. Easley was
?he last and his examination proba?
bly will terminate tomorrow.
More than any other cause, objee
tlon on the part of talesman to find?
ing a verdict of guilty on circumstan?
tial evidence slowed down progress
in obtaining a Jury to try James B.
McNamara for alleged responsibility
for the death of C harles J. Haggerty,
a machinist killed In the Los Angeles
Times explosion a year ago.
Just how to obtain more venlre?
men was a question discussed by op?
posing counsel tonight. It was said
the defense might object to takln?
venlremen from other branches of
the superior court. The ..iternatlve
sOOgaoi to be the summoning of a 00W
fen tri which might take days, The
course was considered unlikely.
Hight venlremen were aXCUfled f:>r

HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURED.
Mi. Poole Gives Facts of The Col
Umq on PoQOtaligO (niiM'way.
Mr. Editor: 1
l noticed kn your issue of the -ist
an Account of the run-away of mj
team last Friday at Pocalla springs,
in which y<?11 placed all Maine on
in ? and made it appear that it was
through carelesaueai on my part.
Now 1 know that you did not intend
to misrepresent it in any way or do
me an injustice, therefore, i ask thai
you will pleast hear my lide of the
matter.
i was coming hums with o'jhteen
cotton pickers on my wagon and was
driving In a Slow trot when I saw a
mule and buggy in tin- road as if
the driver W&S trying to hold his
mule, whi< h seemed to he very rest
lesa I took up my team and drove
hear tin dge of the embankment
s ' could. At that time my horse
It in a fast walk, and as pay team
1 issed, Mr. Tennant's mule turned
short to the center of tin- road .and
his buggy caught in the wheel of my
wagoh which caused my left-hand
mule to' Jump sideways against the
horse on the right, coming! n-ar shov?
ing \\\m off the embankment and
frightening him, and at the same
time one of the men who was with
me on the seat lost his balance and
In trying to catch, fell on my mule,
causing her to jump forward and
when she did the .seat on which I
was sitting slipped off and I fell be?
tween the wagon and the horse. I
was draerged some distance and lost
control of the team and received sev?
eral severe bruises. The men and
women on my wagon commenced
lumping off, which frightened my
team still more.
If Mr. Tennnnt had held his mule
straight or kept him from turning
Into my wagon there would not have
I sen any trouble.
Yours very truly,
HEYWARD POOLE.
