of his cell this morning and stepped in
to the sheriff's Office he met Cowie
there. With deeply muttered oath
Bloch glared at him.

"What are you cursing me for?" re-
turned the detective.

"What makes you think so ?" face
tiously came from the digger up of the
evidence.

- How Bloch's Ruse Was Discovered.
Perhaps one of the most amusing in
cidents connected with this whose case
which has so far come to light wcs the
manner in which Bloch's true condition
was discovered. There had been quite
a time spent by the physicians in at
tempting to draw from Bloch some
thing in the way of learning about his
antecedents and his general condition,
but he answered not word. There
was great deal of suspicion in the
minds of the physicians that this con-
dition was feigned, but just how to get
at it to force him to own up and throw
it off seemed to be question. In this
extremity they applied to Cowie. He
was asked if he had any expedient by
which to arouse him. The detective
at once suggested that the top of his
skull be cut off and his brain examined
in that way. This was given with a
wink which all understood except
Bloch. SO the physicians got out their
knives, saws and other instruments and
laid them about on the table. Then
with all this display one of them re-
marked to Bloch that they had finally
decided that there was NO way of ar
irving at final conclusion withOutcut-
ting off the top of his head and looking
at his brain.
"No you DON'T" Immediately re-
torted Barney, as he leaped and was
about to run out of the room. That
was sufficient. He was obliged after
that to own up that he was shamming.
The afternoon session of the court
was started off with the examination of
jurors. There had been eleven select
ed prior to the noon recess, but this
was before the peremptory challenge
had taken place. The twelfth man
was selected within a very few mo-
ments. Attorney Cavanagh opened
fire on Juror Schwartz concerning an
alleged conversation he was supposed
to have had with parties near the court
house when Bloch was taken back to
Jail Friday afternoon. Mr.. Schwartz
replied that he had not had any con-
versation concerning what should be
done with Bloch.
Then Mr.. Cavanagh challenged John
Bohrn for cause, on the grounds that
he was not an American citizen. Upon
this challenge Henry j. Toner
was deputized to go to the
clerk of the courts records
to find out whether Mr..
Bohrn's father ever took out his second
naturalization papers. Mr.. Toner re-
ported that he failed to find the name
of the father in the record of natural
ization since 1850. Upon this showing
Mr.. Bohrn was dismissed. His place
being taken, the peremptory challeng
ing began.
Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Scanlan raised
strenuous objections to Robinson and
Rosenow being left in the court room.
They wanted them remanded back to
jail because they had pleaded guilty
and were not on trial. Mr.. Quarles
facetiouslY remarked that he would try
to get associates for the defendants
who would not be SO obnoxious, if de-
sired. The Judge overruled the objec-
tons. Then special venire being re-
quired the court adjourned until 9
o'clock Monday morning to wait for its
return.
