made by affidavit, or by no means here

and that the defense is entitled, under
such circumstances, to be advised as tC
what the further information is and
similar specific reasons why the matter
should be permitted to be examined

"The objection is overruled and yor
have your exception" said his Honor.
Mr.. Brown was asked. to take a seat In
the corner of the jury-box nearest the Dis
trict Attorney, and everybody in the court
room prepared to listen to the questions
and take in all the phases of the legal com
bat, which, it was plainly evident, was
contemplated.
"Mr Brown" commenced the District
Attorney, II desire to ask you few ques
tions, and It is possible that in asking them
the attorneys for the defendant may desire
to object to some. SO l will ask you to
hesitate for a moment before replying tC
them, so that defendants counsel may

Mr.. Brown nodded his head in assent.

Attorney, "have you ever served as juror

please" exclaimed Mr.. Deuprey. THAT

court in relation to the qualifications for a
juror sitting in this case, and is, therefore,
immaterial, irrelevant and incompetent
and improper for any purpose whatever;

The objection is overruled," said the
court
The question was read and Mr. Brown
made answer.
Il did, sir" he replied. 81 served for
four months in Judge Morrow's court in
1892, beginning III May and ending in Sep

August 1892. for the purpose of trying one

Mr.. Deuprey again objected for the de-
tense on the ground that the question did
ncatlon and competency of the Juror, and
that that was an issue in regard to coun-
terfeiting, whereas this was in relation to
a crime.
81 take it, said the court, "that this
matter is simply Introductory, to identity
the court and cause. The objection is over
ruled"
While the stenographer read the ques-
ton, Mr.. Brown took notebook from his
pocket and examined one of its pages.
Il was, he replied, ION the 26th day of
August accepted as juror, and the trial
began on that day in the afternoon"
do you remember when the trial
ended?n
Another objection from the defense was
interposed and oyerruled, and the witness
answered:

discharged on Sunday, the 4th day of Sep
TENDER, at about II o'clock midday"

case?"
Mr., Deuprey objected to this question
on the ground that the record was the best
evidence, and then renewed his other OBJ

"If the court please" said General Dick
inson, 1--WE object to such permission being
given, on the ground that it is improper
that it should be done at this time, and
that it is not in the manner IN which the
showing should be made
''The objection is overruled," said Judge
Murphy. This question was directly
passed upon in a recent decision OF the Su-
preme Court in the case of Bammerly."

good cause is shown here, if your Honor
please"
ayes, sir" said Judge Murphy, "the
gentleman asks leave to show cause"

prey.
II would like to state further, if your
Honor, please" said Mr.. Barnes, "that the
matter upon which | desire to examine
Mr.. Brown was not known to me at the
time he was passed and accepted"
Matters which you have discovered
since ?" inquired his Honor.
"Yes, SIR since that time"
''We object" again came from the de-
tense.
"The objection is overruled," said the
court once more.
'If the court please, we reserve an excep-
ton to the ruling" said General Dlckln-
son, land suggest that the examination
be confined to such questions as might
have been put to the juror on the first
occasion"

Festival in Aid of the
Church.

The ladies of st. Dominic's parish, in the
Western Addition, are making prepara-
tons for a bazaar to be held at their

intended to be on different plan from
former fairs, and the ladies say it will have
many agreeable features, including con-
certs and literary entertainments every
evening during the week it is to run.
There will be six distinct booths, ex-
elusive of tables for wares and other at
fractions, and the booths have been as
signed to active workers in the church.
Mrs. P. ]. White will have the Holy
Name booth; Mrs. Carville. St. Roses
booth; Mrs. Hannify, Sacred Heart booth
Mrs. Tracey, Guadalupe booth, and Mrs.

Mr.. Deuprey was energetic in his objec-

very great consideration what were the
proceedings before the Federal Grand
Jury. 1t was also highly improper, he
thought.
1.-The object of these interrogations, -
said Judge Murphy. ''as l understand
them, is to see whether, from information

there is ground for a challenge, or upon
which the court could allow the District

Mr.. Barnes, ''as to whether you had been
approached by any person seeking to influ-

The usual objection was overruled.
''They didn't question my conduct in
the case" said Mr.. Brown, "but they asked
me in reference to being approached"
II understood from your answer, Mr..
Brown, that they questioned you as to
whether you had been approached by some
person. that person seeking to influence
your vote, opinion or action as Juror in
the case. Is that correct?''
II will answer that" was the reply, after
Mr.. Deuprey's objection had been over
ruled, "by stating that told them had

might say that the question before the
Grand Jury was that a charge, or accusa-
