The actual trial will begin at 10
o'clock this morning. 1t was 11:45 a.
m. yesterday when the jury was
sworn. Deputy Attorney General
Peters wanted recess ample enough
to enable him to get together the wit
nesses for the prosecution, and differ
ent jurors asked leave to visit their
places of business and their homes.
Judge Robinson ordered recess until 8
p. m.
were W learn tnds
neither shop nor home could be visit
ed individually, but that the entire
jury must go to each place visited and
its members keep in sight of each 9TH
err. The first who asked the privilege,
Mr.. England, said he would withdraw
the request rather than arrange his
business affairs with the crowa
around him. Judge Robinson reassur-
ed him by saying the restriction would
be enforced reasonably, the main re-
quirement being that the jurors should
not scatter or mingle with other peo-
pie.
Mr.. Tirrell was informed that he
might send a note to his family, but
no juror could receive any communica-
ton until it had been scrutinized by
the court.
At 8 o'clock the jurors had not COM
pleted their round of visitations and
the trial was continued until 10 o'clock
this morning.
All local newspapers, before they are
given to the Jurors at their hotel or
elsewhere, must have everything in
the way of reports of the trial and
references thereto excised by the
bailiff.
Liquor-spirits, wine or beer as de-
sired-may be furnished in moderate
allowance, at the discretion Of the
bailiff, to jurors at their temporary
lodging place and at their meals 1t
Is understood that no liquor In quanti-
ty for social drinking will be permitted
in the jury's hotel apartments, the
privilege being limited to the serving
of an appetizer before meals, or the
usual table beverage at mealtimes, to
those accustomed to such indulgence.
Mr.. Peters brought up the drink
question, while the jurors were outside
Of the courtroom just before adjourn
ment for the day, and it was quietly
discussed between court and counsel
with the conclusion above reported.
The matter of newspaper censorship
was introduced by Mr.. Peters in the
presence of the jury at its empanel-
ing.
Bailiff Glenn. X. Quinn has an one
rous dual responsibility thrust upon
him in guarding the Jurors from an
excess of either intelligence or stimu-
lstion.
