In fact, he appeared to be keenly disap- pointed as Sweeney made preparations to leave without telling him to get ready. Asseris His Innocence. Aside from repeatedly asserting his innocence, Mahoney declined to make any statement to Sweeney, but indicated vagrancy warrant and for questioning b concerning a number of slayings, in- cluding that of Jake Lingle, Tribune reporter.

Adkins found it necessary to adjourn court until a new panel of 200 prospective jurors could be sworn to enable the court to complete a jury qualified to hear the case. Justice Adkins called a halt in the session at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon when it became apparent that the few remaining prospective veniremen would be insufficient to fill the jury box with persons eligible for duty.
