The defence did not want man Of this frame
NJ mind. and so challenged for cause and was
sustained
For full hour talesman after talesmar was
nut on the grill and dismissed after the shortest
OF examinations. The majority urged that their

deadly dulness Of the proceedings and shifted
uneasily in his seat.
