THE CONTEMPLATING CASE
Develops Sensations Not Often Seen in
Court
Two Jurors are Caught Flirting With Defend
ants Step-Dauzhtsr and Repri.
manded by the Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The How.
ell case developed something of sensa-
tion today in tne United States district
court. Judge Morrow severely repri-
manded two of the jurors for drifting
with Howell's step daughter, Mrs. Edith
Greene. This filtration began several days
ago. 1t was resumed today and contin-
ued during the day until the hour of adj
jonrnment. Even Judge Morrow could
not hold the attention of one of the men
while the customary admonition was
given OF adjournment. The affair re.
ceiyed something more than unofficial
recognition in the result that followed an
incident at the morning session.
While witness was on the stand At
torney Campbell suddenly accused Secret
Service Agent Harris with EN- blowing a
code Of signals TO coach witnesses upon
tine stand. lie accused Harris of nodding
necessarily to the witnesses as they ap'
peared and the attorney declared he could
construe the action to be nothing more
or less than q signal.
Harris holly answered the charge. He
denied that he was making signals to
anybody. and charged that whoever SAID
so was telling AN untruth. Judge Nor
row silenced the controversy with re-
buke on both sides. He mad observed,
he said, altoge Their too much noddlng in
the court rom and he wanted 1t stopped
at once. While Judge Morrow was talk
ing he was looking at Mrs. Edith Greene.
The testimony in the case to was
cumulative and presented no great iea-
lures of interest. 1t involved the hand
ling and persistent distribution of bogus
coin by Howell. This testimony went so
far as TO charge him with an attempt to
pass a dangerous counterfeit half dollar
on a Stockton car conductor only two
months ago.
George Maysel, q butcher Of Stockton
swore that Howell attempted to pass a
bogus dollar ON him and when he refnse ed
to accept it was given genuine money.
Deputy Sheriifs namin and Cassidy
OF Stockton identified the marked coin
that Howell had gwen 10 tradespeople
and then another important witness in
tie case was placed on the stand. He is
Charles Thornton, a street car conductor,
who claim that Two mo1ths ago Howell
passed counterfeit half dollar upon
him. Thornton Was NOT allowed to
testify until Judge Morrow dec des
whether his evidence Is admss BILE or
not. The case will be resumed on Mon
