Two days had been occupied in the, examination
of the III talesmen. There is said to be little
likelihood any Of the jurors will be challenged
to-day. although Justice Crane directed Sheriff
Harvey have the remainder of the taleshen

Mr. MCINTYRE examined Henry Bohne the
twelfth juror. somewhat closely to whether he
would permit any to talk 10 him about the
case. When asked by Tribune reporter why he
had pressed that question. Mr.. Mcintyre replied:
'I have nothing against the juror. you may
imagine since we have accepted him; but there
were very good reasons for the question"
The prisoner i'll jubilant mood over the
filing Of the jury box Don't you think we have
a fine jury?' he asked Of the newspaper men. L
am nightly pleased with it.
Mr.. Mcintyre. chief counsel for Hams. asked
some of the talesmen If 1t would prejudice them
against the defendant If in the course OF the de-
fence it became necessary ITO attack the charac-
ter of some persons not now alive"
Cyrus Mott. of Fa~ Rockaway. one OF the tales
men, asserted that he had so strong a prejudice
against capital punishment that he could not rem
