THE GOLD CURE TANGLE MAIL LETTING CONTRACTS.
A NEW LEGAL PUZZLE FOR JUDGE
GEAR.
How Vincent Fernandez Was Accepted
As Juror-Action Taken by The
Court.

The official record Of court stenO-
grapher Case showing the questions
asked to the alleged disqualified juror
Vincent Fernandez. before he was ac-
cepted as a juror, have been written up
for the benefit OF the attorneys in the
case. The issue as presented to Judge
Gear this morning is said TO be pracn-
cally without parallel and the many
lawyers who have been diligently WORK
ing on it since yesterday, declared that
they had not been able to find p similar
case. The record shows the following
questions by Attorney A. q. NJ. Robert-
son, with the answers and no questions
at all by the attorneys for the defense:
Have you formed or expressed any
opinion with regard to this case? No.
Are you acquainted with Mr.. Ma
gcon? ] am.
Have you any business dealings with
him? l had about six or seven years
ago.
Did he act as your attorney? No
sir
You have no business dealings with
him now? No.
"And are under no obligations to him
or he to you? No.
Are you acquainted with Mr.. Ables
/ am.
"Have you any business dealings with
him? No.
"None whatever? No
Under no obligations to him in any
way or he to you? No.
Are you acquainted with Mr.. Nc
Stocker? I am.
Intimately acquainted? No.
Are you under obligations TO him In
any way2 No.
mo business dealing with him at the
present time? No.
"Do you know Of any reason why you
cannot be a fair impartial juror in this
case? No"
Similar questioning Of the other jurors
took place, and then the attorneys on
both sides announced that the jury was
satisfactory" No one suspected that
the business" Fernandez said he had
had with Magoon some years ago was
connected with taking the Hagey cure,
as 1t is now said to be, and the trial
went on.
This morning the attorneys spent an
hour in legal preliminary sparring, be-
fore beginning to argue the question Of
whether the verdict Of the jury should
be received. McClanahan asked for a
pOstponement until he could prove that
none Of the defendants or attorneys for
the defense had known Of the reason
for Fernandez alleged disqualification
As the defendant McStocker is on Ha-
waii and it was stated that Ables could
not be found. this meant some days and
Robertson objected. It was finally
agreed that the matter Of the motion to
withdraw juror should be argued first,
admission being made for the purpose of
the argument that the defendants and
their attorneys did not know of Fernan-
dez having taken the cure.
Attorneys BallOu, McClanahan, Kin
ney and Magoon took the stand in turn
and swore that they had had no knowl-
edge Of the fact. 1t was announced
that afdavits would be forthcoming
from Ables and McStocker, and then the
argument on the motion to withdraw
the juror were begun, McClanahan
opening. He remarked at the outset
that the case was unique, and that in
his search for authorities he had not
been able to find one in which the same
issue was presented.
