ON RELIGIOUS LINES.
Attorney Butts Procedure in the
Good Shcphcrd CRse

1t is evident, already, that this latest trial
of the House of the Good Shepherd case will
contain all of the bitterness of feeling ex-
hibited by Attorney Butts in the first trial.
The examination of jurors as to their com
potency has demonstrated the fact that the
plalntln will go back to the lines of the
first case and try this one en- religious lines.
Attorney Butts had young man nam d
John Froemel on the stand the greater part

Froemel is a Catholic, and Mr.. But s at
tackled him on the proposition that the
teachings OF his church were such that he
could not properly try a suit in which one
of the parties was layman and the other an
ecclesiastic in the Roman Catholic church.
The interrogatory was largely in the form
OF elaborate. questions with the interpos.ion
of an objection, the general sustaining of the
objection and the taking of an excep ion.
This became so much a matter of c3utse
that there was good deal of monotny in the
form of the Intersections. There were some
Of the questions that got by, and Froemel
told Mr.. Butts that he did not consider. and
had not been taught to consider the law OF
the church superior to the law of the land
Here is sample question and answer.
Mr.. Butts-If you sat on this Jury and
voted against the sisters, and then. in the
course Of time, went to confession and told
what you had done, and he refused you alb
solution. you would be condemned to enternal
punishment, would you not?
Gen. Clapp-Objected to as
Mr.. Butler-Your honor, this question, like
some others that have been asked, reminds
me Of that time-honored proposition: If Bill
Smith had a brother would he like cheese !?
The Court-Objection sustained.
Last night there were six men in the box
who had been passed. but 1t is by no means
likely that they will be allowed to stall
of them. Both plaintiff and defendant have
all their challenges in reserve yet, and they
will not be exercised until the first twelve
men have been seated temporarily.

Judge Thayer handed down decision yes

one Of the special examiners in the famous
Van Leuven pension cases in Iowa.
Erward F. Waite was a special examiner
and in the course of the examination of one
of the witnesses in Howard county Iowa, he
told the witness that certain letters were
held by the pension office and that If it was
found that the witness HAD testified falsely
he would be imprisoned The examiner was
arrested and jailed on the charge of intmi-
dating a witness. He was convicted under
the state law, and there arose a contention
between the state and federal government as
to the rights of the examiner. Waite was
gotten out Of jail by habeas corpus proceed
ings, and the case came to the appellate
court on appeal from the decision in the
habeas corpus case.
Judges Thayer and Sanborn sustained the de-
