had been examined and challenged or
excused. with eleven In the box sub

tense six Of tho sixteen pefemptofy
allowed.
In tho Lambortson mandemus pro-
oeedlngs, General LsmbertsOn's ooun'
eel made a strong personal plea before
the supreme court for his client tue
court having refused TO allow the
filing Of Lambertson's transcript. Ibe
court finally agreed to look over the
papers, but gave little encouragement
TO the relator, saying that II was not
their practice TO interfere In such
matters, and especially In this ease.

from assisting the prosecution after
being engaged by the defense.
