upon the juror said that he now remem-
bered having seen him once. but did not
remember having had any conversation /

statement about stTinging Haywood and

Senator Borah then asked Farmer
Fisher few questions. The farmer de-
MED absolutely that he had made any
such statement as Allen said ne had
made. At the end Of the examination the
court overruied the defense's challenge
for cause, and Fisher says on the jury
for the time being.
The State challenged Mr.. McGuff1n, and
Farmer George Fisher was called He
had an opinion and was excused. 1t did
not take the defense long to bring out the
fact that Mr. BOgart had a carefully nur-

breast to make him a good juror, and
they let him escape.
