defendants and not others. Mr.. Jones
also argued for separate rights for
the defendants, As did Mr. ChynoWeth
and Mr. Lamb
The court explained that he under
stood that the complaint set forth a
wrongful and wiltul purpose 10 de
fraud, aud the conspiracy was merely
an incident to that purpose, and that
the jury might if 1t So pleased find
against only one Of the defendants
Mr.. Jedris replied to the several ar
Euments with citations, and was fol
lowed by Nr. Olin, who declared that
no similar case bad been found in au-
thority ut the claim that each Of the
defendants was entitled TO three
strikes, and he didn't think it could be
found He asked the court to consider
what the application of such "a rule in
this case would mean. The defend
ants might have appeared by one at
toruey Mr. Jones said that il would
be unproscS ioual for one attorney to
represent the diverse interests of these
defendants, and Mr., Olin ru;Ortcd that
to the extent the interests Of defend
ants were diverse TO lhIt extent the
plaintiffs had no cause of action
Judge Siebecker ruled that while the
defendants were i'm a sense separate in
their defense, they could not be con
sdered as each making Il distinct de
Tense, and he therefore hed them to
be considered as a single party and en-
titled to but three strikes of Jurors for
all
The court then adjourned till

of selecting a jury was Immediately
taken up Roll call developed the fact

dence. OF the twelve men but one, Mr.
VIM Dumphy Of Sun Prairie was

fcient TO prejudice him in the case.
