JUDGE GALLS THIRD VENIRE
SECOND PANEIi EXHAUSTED IN
M'lVIANTJS CASE.
Two More Jnrors Needed for the
Murder Trial--Many Men Op
posed to Hanging.
PENDLETON, Or.. April .20. (Spe
cial.) Five more Jurors were secured
today In the McManus murder trial,
and It is now believed that the other
two will be selected Monday morning
In time for the taking of testimony to
begin in the afternoon.
After 2 o'clock today only seven men
had been secured, and as man after
man was excused because of bias for
or against the defendant, or antipathy
to capital punishment. It began to look
like an indefinite length of time would
be required to select a jury, when sud
denly three men were secured in suc
cession. The special panel was exhausted by
5 o'clock, however, and court adjourned
until Monday morning- at 9 o'clock to
allow the -Sheriff time to summon the
12 men composing the third venire that
has been' drawn for this case.
The feature of the examination today
was the large number of prospective
jurymen who were opposed to capital
punishment, who declared they would
not bring In a verdict of guilty under
any circumstances. , Nine of the ten
men now selected are farmers, the oth
er one being a blacksmith.
Mrs. McManus was again by the side
of her husband and though late in the
afternoon, when Judges, Jurymen and
lawyerg all exhibited signs of weari
ness, she never relaxed for an instant
the Interest she has manifested from
the start in every question and an
