No. 1041.
    The State of Louisiana vs. Ephraim Welsch and Daniel Webster.
    The District Judge has, in the selection of jurors, a discretionary power, which should be trusted to a great extent, and his ruling in such matters should not be disturbed unless manifestly erroneous.
    The Judge may have -referred to a witness of the defendants as a willing witness, in ruling over a point of evidence, in the trial of the case/ without thereby violating the principle that the Court must not comment upon the facts before the jury.
