The complaints Of the Jurors covered
the whole range of their business and
domestic economy
Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre
said to-day that fifteen detectives were
chosen for this purpose, detective be-
ing assigned to each one of the Jurors.
He said that 1t was not unusual to have
detectives shadow Jurors during the
trial of an important murder case. 1t
was essential for justice and public
good that this should be done.
It was said that Recorder Con told
the complaining Jurors that he could
do nothing for them and that they
went away dissatisfied.
