Concord, Nov, 27. Three jurors to fry

C E. Ckilp, farmers R. B. Buchanan,
weavr ; M. M. Llpe. farmer.
Wve men were peremptorily excused
by tho defense. The state did not use
any of its challenges on the first 30
men. . . - . , .
C, E. Culp, a farmer, the, second ve
nireman to be examined and R. B. Buch
anan", a weaver of Concord, were chosen

men who are to- be asked U decide
whether or not Inst on B. Means shot
and killed Mrs;- Maude A. King . as
charged. Buchanan was the fourth ve
nireman called. f
The state asked the veniremen if they
would accept eirenm4tantial evidence and
if they ''would give '.due , consideration
to the testimony of experts" . on an
equal basw with 'other testimony. The
solicitor also questioned the' veniremen
whether or not they would be "prejg-
diced, against witnesses who came from
another state to testify." All those
replied1 that they had i no 'prejudice
against outsiders arid said they Would
give weight. to circumstantial evidence.
The state is relying on weaving a net
of -circumstantial evidence round Means
and, by experts hoe to show' it should
have been impossible for Mrs. King to
have inflicted the pistol ' bullet wound
that caused her death here. .--.. v4-

a premeptory strike.'
By noon the third juror, M. if. Lvpe,
h farmer, was accepted. He was the
