# San Antonio Daily Light, 20 February 1891, page 1: telegram note on the opening of the Hennessy trial

One line in a column of boiled-down telegrams reads 'Five jurors in four days is the outcome in the Hennessy trial,' dating the slow jury selection in the first week of the trial.

A one-line item in the paper's column of boiled-down telegrams: "Five jurors in four days is the outcome in the Hennessy trial." It dates the slow jury selection in the first week of the trial, which The Evening World says began on 16 February 1891. The item does not itself say "New Orleans."

The page is filed only for the date and as a pointer to the trial's progress. The rest of the front page is unrelated.
