BOUQUETS WE'RE THROWN.
Bouquets in the air followed what
threatened to be an interminable ex-
animation of jurors by defendants
counsel until checked by the court
Mr.. Stratus was "supposing'' evidence
that might be presented and asking a
juror how he would regard such evil
dence. Several objections by Mr.. STAN
ley were sustained only to have fresh
suppositions presented. Judge De
Bolt, who had interposed a stern warn
ing against one attorneys interrupt
ing another in argument on objections,
at length expressed the hope that Mr..
Straus would desist from a line of ex-
animation that would cause the ex-
cusing of many of the regular panel.
''These are the best Jurors I have
ever had in my court Judge De Bolt
said, 'and I doubt if we get any bet
ter if we have to go outside for jurors. -
THAT is because we have the best
judge we have ever had" Mr.. Straus
remarked as he sank into his chair.
