Tbe graud jury was called Monday,

George Sibble prosecutor, which resulted
in not a true bill and county to pay the
costs.
Tbe case of Commonwealth vs. Joseph
Morascaof West Hickory, charged wilb

tbe jury returned a verdict of "not guilty
but pay tbe costs."
As this paper goes to press the Strain
case is proceeding, a sufficient number cf
jurors being obtained Tuesday afternoon
from the regular panel, tbiis obviating
the necessity of calling talesmen. Tbey
are as follows:
E. A. Baboock, farmer, Kellettville,

As soon as tbis Jury was secured all

is represented by District Attorney M.
A, Carringer and J. S. Carmichael of
Franklin, and the defendants have as
their counsel, A. C. Brown of the local
bar, and Breene & Breene of Oil City.
Tbe history of this case Is quite well
remembered. On March 2d last George
Strain and wife appeared In tbe afternoon
at tbe boarding bouse oonduoted by J. L.
Glenn, at Hunter's Camp, Harmony
township, tbis county, and reported that
Albert Allen, a teamster, was lying
wounded and bleeding In the woods about
a mile back near tbe Gorman bill road in
tbe direction of Fagundus, having been
cut by Mrs. Strain In delense of ber hon
or against assault from Allen. Mrs.
Strain's clothing was somewhat torn and
disarranged and she otherwise showed
some effects of a struggle. A party ac
companied Strain to i-cene of tbe tragedy.
Allen was found about twenty rods Irom
tbe Gorman bill road on a rim of a de
pression formed by an old conductor bole,
lying in a pool of blood and still bleeding
profusely. Tbe snow for some feet around
was trampled down and stained with
blood, and blood also stained the snow on
beyond tbe oonduotor bole down the bill
several feet. The wounded man was In a
semi-oonsclous state from shook and lossof
blood. He was taken to the Glenn home
and a doctor was summoned, but did not
arrive until after tbe death of Allen at
about 7:00 o'clock the same evening. A
number of witnesses ten till ml at the bear
ing that Allen was semi-oonsclous. G. L.
Glenn testified that Allen iald to him
"George Strain cut me." Allen was
wounded in two places: One cut was
completely through the fleshy part of the
thigh of tbe left leg and a serious knife
cut in tbe back over the left shoulder
which penetrated tbe lung.
Tbe defendants were arraigned shortly
after the Tuesday morning session con
vened. Tbey both seemed somewhat
more pale than on tbelr last appearance,
probably due to tbelr confinement.
Strain showed no sign of uneasiness, but
Mrs. Strain appeared to be under some
wbst of a nervous strain. To the charge,
which was read to them both plead not
guilty, and to tbe question as to bow tbey
wished to be tried both answered, "By
God and my countrymen " Tbe securing
of a Jury occupied tbe court's time until
about 2 o'clock in tbe afternoon. Tbe ex
amination of tbe jurors disclosed that
quite a large number on the list bsd
formed aod expressed opinions as to the
merits of the case. S.ime were disquali
fied for tbis reason. Others professed
conscientious scruples sgalnst capital
punishment aud were challenged for tbis
cause.
At 2:30 District Attorney Carringer ad
dressed the jury for tbe Commonwealth,
forecasting the evidence upon which tbe
prosecution will ask tbe conviction of Ibe
defendants of the crime of murder. His
proposals followed substantially the facta
above given relative to tbe history of tbe
crime.
J. L. Glenn was tbe first witness called
and was on the stand for several hourB.
His testimony was practically the same
aa tbat given at tbe preliminary hearing.
C. D. Miller, wbo went with Glenn to
the scene ol tbe crime, and William
Sbeckler, tbe teamster who hauled tbe
wounded man to Glenn's bouse, gave tbe
same testimony as at tbe hearing.
Mrs. J. L. Glenn was tbe last witness
before adjournment, Tbe defense ob
jected to certain portions of ber testimony
and during the argument on the point
the Jo'ry was withdrawn from tbe oourt
room.' It was proposed to prove by ber a
conversation she heard between the
Strains In a bedroom In ber boose,
which would substantiate tbe Common
wealth's claim that George Strain did the
cutting. Tbe deleuse contended tbat the
declarations of a wife could not be used
against ber husband or vice rersa. Tbe
court reserved ita decision until tbis
morning.
