was completed ninety-four talesmen had
been called and questioned. and forty-two
Of the sixty peremptory challenges allowed
by the court had been utilized, Assistant
District Attorney Rand resorting to eigh-
teen challenges and counsel for the de-

Prisoner Pleased With Jury.
After the adjournment of court Miss Pat
terson had little chat with her father and
was then led back to her cell in the Tombs.
Her counsel declares the girl is well pleased
with the jury. Throughout the day she had
evidenced the keenest interest in the eXam-
nation Of the talesmen. listening intently
as one after another declared he had
formed or expressed an opinion to her
guilt or innocence and that nothing ad-
duced at the trial could alter that opinion.
She took an active part in the selection
of the jury, constantly advising her coun-
sci. Young and unmarried men she eX-
cluded, SO far possible. From an au
thoritatve source 1t fas stated that her
reason for demanding married men and
men of at least middle age lies in the fact
that all married men who have talked to
her since she arrested, nearly year
ago, have said that their wives believed she
should be acquitted-that they felt sure she
had suffered enough.
