Court of Appeals of Kentucky
Case 86 — INDICTMENT APPEAL FROM GARRARD CIRCUIT COURT. Briefs of counsel on both sides have been misplaced.
1Opinion of the Court
JUDGE GOFER
delivered the opinion or the court.
Having been convicted of the murder of E. D. Kennedy, and adjudged to be confined in the penitentiary for the balance of his natural life, the appellant has appealed to this court for a reversal of that judgment.
Numerous grounds are relied upon for reversal, which we proceed to notice seriatim :
1. For some reason, not disclosed by the record, the jury, *343by which the appellant was tried, was not summoned by the sheriff of the county, but by James N. Denny, who is styled “ special sheriff,” and his assistants E. W. Harris and W. A. Arnold.
