Judge Alexander warned counsel for both sides that there had been too much time consumed already in examination of the jurors, oc- casioned by repetition of questions, and warned them that delays must be eliminated from now on. The jury in the box at noon was composed of: Fred Jones, An- ton Hildre, John J. Kasnakoff, Mrs Mae Kilroy, W. E. Seydel, Bert Al- stead, Carl A. Bergstrom, D. M Bothwell, Mrs. Alex Kiloh, Mrs. J Bromberg, Mrs. Mildred Hermann All of the regular jury, except those on the trial jury, have been excused to report at 10 a. -m Monday. History of Case Mrs. Lawrence died in a room then occupied by Johnson at the City Cafe early on the morning of February 14. Johnson, himself, called a physician, Dr. W. J. Pigg, to attend her. He said she, appar- ently, had been drinking heavily; that she had laid down in, or on, his - bed to rest and had fallen asleep. He noticed, he declared, that her lips were turning blue and had tried to arouse her. Fail- ing in this he had notified a physi- cian. An autopsy by Drs. Pigg and W. W. Council revealed the woman had been choked. At an inquest, Matthews testified both he and Johnson knew the woman was dead at the time Dr. Pigg had been summoned, but he denied ejther he or Johnson had touched her. The coroner’s jury found deatn to have been caused by stragu- lation and the two men were bound over to the grand jury without bail, charged with murder in the first degree. An indictment followed. — e MR. AND MRS. W. B. KIRK TAKE APARTMENT ON 15TH AVE., S. SEATTLE Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
