CHEEKY PROPOSITION.
BOSS" McKane's Attorney Wanted to
Examine Proposed Grand Jurors.

BROOKLYN, n. ", Dec. 1S.-A most ex-
traordinary proceeding marked the opening
OF the special court OF Oyer and Terminer.
in Kings county to-day. When the special
grand jury were ordered to be impaneled,
counsel for John Y. McKane, the BOSS" of
Gravesend, insisted on the right to examine
the proposed members. They argued that
as the grand jury was drawn for the pur-
pose OF indicting McKane and others
charged with election frauds and other
crimes, they were entitled to see that no
enemy of his went on the grand jury. Judge
Cullen ruled in their favor and they cross
questioned every taleSman.
The case of John Y. McKane, who has
been sentenced for contempt of court, was
not heard to-day. Judge Cullen would have
heard the argument this morning but for
the fact that he had been designated by the
Governor to sit in special Oyer and Ter
miner to hear and try cases of frauds in
elections and other misdemeanors connected
Herewith. Judge Cullen, therefore, turned
the stay proceedings over to Judge Pratt.
That official astonished everybody, even his
colleagues on the bench, by declining to
have anything to do with the case. You
ought TO rest satisfied said he, until the
argument is heard. Judge Cullen's order
acts as a stay. | will have nothing TO do
with IT." When Judge Cullen was informed
of Judge Pratt'S unprecedented action, he
get down the hearing for 23O p. m. At that
hour he heard the opening OF the case and
then ad journed 1t until tomorrow.
