Press agents were active about the hotel
all morning trying to get Capt. Lynch to
consent to allow the jurors to attend q

captain. 'They will all have to 60 to
one place or not to any"

Capt. Lynch was announcing that they
would not go to any theater at all.
Half a dozen of the Jurors wives called

HAS it been decided who will open for
the defense?'
"No not yet; but that is to be decided to-
