Exceptional trouble Is being experienced in securing a jury to try Emily Eee, charged with murder, In the Lackawanna county court.

In his individual capacity the president was as powerless as other men to secure such a result. Rut as president he was able to accomplish what no one else could do. His motives were good, and the immediate result was beneficial to the country. Most men applauded his conduct. A few regarded his action as a danger ous precedent. WKat Was Accomplished.

The entire morning :iesslou today was again taken up with the examination of the new batch of Jurors, and when court adjourned at noon only one addition had been made to the jury. It was hoped that the two additional jurors required would be secured this afternoon. Attorney Scrasrg, of counsel for the defense, announced today to the newspaper men that as soon as the Jury was complete he would make a motion to the court, that an order be handed down, quashing the indictment made by tho grand Jury In the case, on the ground that there was a fatal defect In the document.

Father Hillary returned to St. Ann's monastery, Scranton, this afternoon. The officials refuse to say where he was token, but it is thought he has gone to East Liverpool. Mr. Hughes Countered. "And were you aware," inquired Mr. Hughes, "that that Increase to $150,000 made of you the highest salaried insurance president in the world?" Angry because they could not find the man they wanted to kill, the Italians would not let any of the other employes of the company work. They kept up their search for Lawler all day, tramping over the unfinished streets and fields and searching every building and excavation. This package was received and receipted for by Edward George Cunllffe, who was then acting In the place of the regular money clerk, who Is 111.

In his individual capacity the president was as powerless as other men to secure such a result. Rut as president he was able to accomplish what no one else could do. His motives were good, and the immediate result was beneficial to the country. Most men applauded his conduct. A few regarded his action as a danger ous precedent. WKat Was Accomplished.

The entire morning :iesslou today was again taken up with the examination of the new batch of Jurors, and when court adjourned at noon only one addition had been made to the jury. It was hoped that the two additional jurors required would be secured this afternoon. Attorney Scrasrg, of counsel for the defense, announced today to the newspaper men that as soon as the Jury was complete he would make a motion to the court, that an order be handed down, quashing the indictment made by tho grand Jury In the case, on the ground that there was a fatal defect In the document.

"And were you aware," inquired Mr. Hughes, "that that Increase to $150,000 made of you the highest salaried insurance president in the world?" Angry because they could not find the man they wanted to kill, the Italians would not let any of the other employes of the company work.
