The State Was Able to Make Good Its
=, - Objection.
A new precedent has been established
by the states attorneys in the A. A.
Ames trial. For what is believed to be
the first time in the history of the Henne:
pin county courts juror has been chosen,
allowed to remain on the jury for forty
eight hours, then re-examined and ex-
cused: John E. Layne, the third man
chosen. is the gentleman subjected to this
form of procedure.
Iayne was passed by the defense and
accepted by the state without much in
quiry on the first day of the trial. In
formation was received later by County
Attorney F. H. Boardman which convinced
him that the juror was decidedly unsat-
isfactory and immediate steps were taken
toward his release.
Yesterday afternoon court adjourned
shortly after 3 o'clock and the attorneys
on both sides went into a secret session
with Judge. Elliott. AS a result of the
conference, Mr., Layne was recalled to the
witness stand and his examination was re-
opened. This procedure was allowed os-
tensibly upon the strength of an affidavit
made by Thomas F. Chiffon. letter car
rier, who alleges that while riding down
town one day Layne said to him:
IF was drawn on jury in the Ames
! case I would never vote for conviction.'''
| There are believed to be other and even
more serious objections to the juror which
| it was not found necessary to urge. How
! ever that may have been, when examined

an opinion was disclosed to warrant the
triers in finding the challenge true and
