George Alexander was counsel for John Leeper
and William Murray. who were arralgned in the
County Court yesterday for trial on an indictment
charging them with burglary and larceny. Mr.
Alexander asked for adjournment of the case.
saying that Assistant DistrictAttorney Crane had
promised that the would not be called. and
that In consequence of that promise he had not
summoned his witnesses. Assistant Dlstrict-Attor-
ney Miles. who appeared for the prosecution said
that he must insist that the case go on. The de-
fendant had been out bail, and while not in Gus
tody had committed another burglary. 1t fair
70 suppose that If the again adjourned
he would again be indicted before 1t was brought
to trial
Judge Aspinall thought the would have to go
on and he directed the clerk 70 call jury. Then
Mr. Alexander decided that he would have revenge.
In the first place. he declared that the defendants
demanded separate trials. and that is consttu
tonal privilege the Dstrct-Attorney compelled
to submit. He elected to try Leeper first and then
the examination Of talesmen began. Mr. Alexander
said that he would examine each one separately. 1t
is the usual custom in minor criminal cases to call
an entire jury at once. but the defendant has the
right to examine each talesman separately. and Mr.
Alexander availed himself OF it. He proceeded TO
ask each man as many questions as il the case had
been for murder instead OF burglary and larceny.
1t took more than half hour 10 get the first jury
man. and 1t was estimated that Mr. Alexander
asked each called az least hundred questions
Mr. Miles squIrmed uneasily in his chair. and when
Mr. Alexander said something 10 him In an under
tone he jumped to his feet and exclaimed:
Your Honor. object 10 the counsel making such
remarks I'm the hearing Of the jury.
What remarks?" asked Judge Aspinall.
why, Mr. Alexander said this was dirty, mean
piece Of business" said Mr.. Miles.
Now Mr. Alexander" said Judge Aspinall. you
ought not to make such remarks 1t is not right
trust also that you will not have any feeling In
this case. The business OF the court must be car
red on. and do my best TO be fair with you and
all the other lawyers here
Mr. Alexander explained that he had intended the
remark FOR the OF the District Attorney only
but he did not lessen the length OF his examination
OF each talesman. II was recess when the jury had
been completed. and the case for the prosecution
was begun in the afternoon: When Il had proceed
cd we'll on its way toward completion, every
was surprised to hear the defendant say that he
was willing 10 plead guilty 10 the charge against
him The Dstrct-Attorney accepted the plea and
Mr. Alexander grnned. Mr.. Miles does not forget
however and 1t is said that he is already Matching
