IRVIN BROTHERS NOW ON TRIAL Superior Court of Harris County Takes up Criminal Docket In Harris County superior court yesterday, Judge Meadow, of the Northern circuit presiding, the case of the state vs. Homer and Henry Irvin, charged with the murder of Will Teel, was called and the trial begun. The work of obtaining a jury had not been completed last night, although a large number of extra jurors had been summoned. Solicitor George C. Palmer is being assisted in the prosecution by T. T. Miller of Columbus, and two other attorneys, Jones and Grier of LaGrange. The defendants are represented by T. F. McLaughlin of Columbus, Hewlett Hall of Newnan, and J. R. Lunceford of Hamilton. The killing of Teel by the Irvins created quite a sensation at the time and the officers had some trouble in arresting the defendants. The exact cause of the tragedy has not been published, but it will no doubt be brought out in the trial of the case.
