Accused Of Tamperlng with
Jury VIII Be Pushed
to the Limit

The fact that the superior courts
calendar Is crowded will have no bear
ing upon the date OF the next trial oi
w. p, McComas.
Judge James said last night: III
both sides will agree will set The date
of the trial for some dry next week
The calendar Is crowded, but we al
ways give criminal cases the prefer
ence."
Several jurors upon being requested
yesterday to tell of the proceedings
which took place in the jury room dur
ing the deliberations of the jury said
I'VE made a solemn compact never to
tell what took place there"
Assistant District Attorney Fleming
said yesterday: II am sure the jury
stood 10 to 2 for conviction. But II
doesn't make any difference how they
stood. We are going right after Nc
Comas just the same as we would any
other man. We believe Miss Bertha
Chase deliberately and with great cum
ming tampered with the jury. Her case
will be Investigated to the limit in order
to seek new disclosures of a startling
nature"
Charles L. Palmer, the juror whom
Miss Chase is alleged to have talked to-
said: Anything Miss Chase said to
me had no effect upon me whatever as
I construed her talking as that of an
overzealous woman"
Expects Hard Fight
G. Ray Horton. one of the attorneys
for the prosecution, said yesterday:
There will be a lot of new evidence
brought out in the next trial. 1t Will
be a harder fight than ever"
When asked who will represent the
people at the next trial Mr.. Horton
said: "It is customary for the same
deputy attorneys to finish case which
they have started"
II won that trial and l won 1t fairly,
and / was beaten out of it," was a
statement made by Earl Rogers, senior
counsel for W. p. McComas, yesterday.
He followed this with other statements
of startling nature, which If proved,
as the attorney says they will be, will
have great bearing on the new trial of
McComas.
The attorney states he has in his
possession evidence that one of the
jurors was seen taking supper with a
deputy sheriff and that Immediately
afterward the deputy sheriff was heard
saying he was sure McComas would
not be acquitted.
