II took the whole Of Yesterdays session Of
the Court Of oyer and Terminer in Brooklyn
TO complete the Jury for the trial OF John Y.
Mckane. In the seven hours sitting 0ity-two
talesmen we're examined. and II was not until
after o'clock that any one was found whom
both prosecution and defence were willing TO
accept. The proceedings revealed again the
surprising degree OF public Interest which
McKane's actions In Gravesend have awnk-
sned. Most Of the talesmen questioned were
found disqualified because they had formed
orinions about the case which no evidence
could change.
McKane came into court with LAWYER Foster
!. Bnckus Of his counsel and sat next to him
throughout tho dav. lie wore his customary
stlff linen necktle and solitaire stud In his
shirt front but his face had a worried ex-
preston. The court room was crowded long
before Justice Willard Bartlett entered The
gallery was filled with delegation believed to
he loyal Gravesenders. who stuck out the long
session Of the court without a murmur
Lawyer Weinberg questioned the tnlosmen
for tho prosecution and George W. Roderick
for the defence. The first promising candl-
date for the tenth place in tho jury box was
Charles s. Porter a furtier, Of 4l5 McDonouRh
street. 1t was only when he remarked that he
had been actively Interested in tho election OF
Justice Gaynor and the defeat Of Judge May
nard that tho defence challenged him per-
emptorily 1t looked again as u tenth man
had been found when Edward +. Murphy.a
mineral wnter dealer. testified that he had no
opinion about the McKane case; But he knew
too many political leaders in his district to
suit Gen. Tracy. and the prosecution chal-
lenged him peremptory.
John Luke Roach. n gastltter. OF 27 Garfield
place. likewise Appeared to he a promising
man until he said that notwith stan ding the
evidence he would not believe the detendant
not to be guilty, Justice bartlett excused
him and string OF ta esmen that came after
him. All had opinious which they thought
were too fixed to be changed by the evidence.
