Bush Case May be Tried This Court. . . Court Convened Here Yesterday Morning with Judge Finley Presiding

Court convened here yesterday morning with typical court week weather prevailing. Following the drawing of the grand jury W.J. Lenoir was named as foreman, and the entire jury was sworn in. It was in the afternoon before the real work on cases was taken up.

It is the prevailing opinion that the case against John A. Bush for killing Will Cline will not come up at this term. It is understood this matter will be taken up today and a decision will be reached.
