 these and he was not sure whether
 he had formed an opinion or not.
 Cant you tell?' snapped MT. Jerome
 But before the talesman could an-
 swer he asked consent for his exclu-
 sion. It was granted.
 Then John E. Powers, who was per
 haps so years of age, and said he was
 writer on business topics, was call. ed. MT Jerome asked one or two questions and suggested that the , talesman be excused by consent Thaw's counsel hesitated.
 T have no further questions to ask
 the talesman." said the district attor- ney.
 We do not care to examine him.
 retorted MT Hartridge.
 ''Is there any challenge pending? r
 asked Justice Fitzgerald.

 Hartridge for the defense. The talesman had not been ques.
