he comes" chirped in Barrett, lolling
in his chair and speaking as If taking
his cue in a play. as the elisor ap-

ner of Barrett. IF Mr.. Barrett con-
tinues to make such statements in the
presence of the jury / will ask that he
be put In Jail for contempt of court" "
said the prosecutor, quietly.
When next Barrett spoke 1t was in a
less rhetorical tone and to object to
everything that had transpired relating
to the appointment of Biggy as elisor.
Campbell followed with the suggestion
that Biggy be ordered not to take In

one connected with the prosecution. a
suggestion which Judge Dunno followed
out in spirit.
MAYOR GIVEN A SURPRISE
Mayor Schmitz had. since the first
mention of Biggy. sat in his chair as IL
dazed. When the judge left his seat
and the attorneys arose to go the
mayor was still looking across the
table as IL in a trance. Fairall tapped
him on the shoulder and he came back
with start
It's ali over" said FairalI.
Silently Schmitz followed him from
the temple, to which he will return to-

on whom he had grated.
Six jurors were examined at the
morning session, in addition to Boech-

examined by Heney. both on the ques-

relations with his uniformed son in
law. He said that he had had an opin-
ion, which was weakened when he lost
faith in the newspapers recently.
Heney challenged Hanley on account
of this opinion, and Barrett resisted.
When the challenge was allowed Bar
rett wanted to challenge all the jurors
already accepted who had had opin-
ions.
