AS is known, the fight will un-
loubtedly be keen, and at times this
morning there were flashes that dis
played points that will be of the
greatest Importance in the continue
ton of the trial. Especially was this
noticeable when Frank Thompson
asked a Juror whom he was question
ing whether or not 1t would make
any material difference to him If it
was shown that A. p. Taylor, Chief
of Detectives, had written the ar
ticles pertaining to the case which
appeared in the Advertiser. II is
generally understood that Chief
Taylor did write number of
these articles in the morning paper,
which, by the way, were decidedly
rulsome in their praise of the police
department.
Another point which seemed TO
bother both attorneys in the case was
whether or not an Advertiser re-
porter's word was as good us Chi
naman's, or vice versa. Almost et-
cry Juror being questioned was asked
| II he would give the same credenCe
to Lee Let's testimony as he would
| to anyone else's. no distinction be-
Ing made because of nationality or
| color.
Fred. Terrill stated that he had
formerly been connected with the po-
lice department, but would not allow
this fact to influence him in forming
verdict. He was passed for cause,
but II is understood that he will be
challenged peremptorily.
Frank Godfrey was the first juror
to be questioned by counsel. Deputy
Attorney General Larpach wanted to
know II Godfrey knew Lee Let, the
defendant insthe case.
Stand up and expose yourself to
the gentlemen" broke in Frank
1 Thompson. Lee Let arose. The us.
ual questions were put to Godfrey
without any startling results, until
he was asked IL he had read and be.
lieved the newspaper stories on the
case.
Yes: have read the stories" an
swered Godfrey. but can't say thai
I believe everything read in them
although | am newspaperman.
Rather rough on the papers,
broke in Thompson. Godfrey wa
passed.
"Of course, don't believe thu
newspaper stories," stated John Pat
tigan. the next man Questioned.
do you know Lee Lett" aske,
Larnach.
II do in business way" answer
ed A. X. Hatfield, but IL would no
influence me In forming my verdict.
IF the defendant, who is a China
) man, should be called on the stand Il
his own behalf, would you, conside
his testimony in the same light q
you would that of a white man?
asked Frank Thompson.
Mr., Larnach Immediately object
ed, but the question was allowed
Hatfield stating that he would Civ
Lee Let the same consideration q
anyone else. When asked what h
knew regarding the case, he state
that he knew only what he had rea
in the newspapers. Frank ThomI
: son thereupon waved an Advertise
. before the eyes OF Mr.. Hatfield, ash
. Ing him whether or not he recogni,
ed certain article there. Larnac
objected to the papers being show
to the jury and Judge Robinson SUI
tanned the objection.
r do you realize the fact that thel
have been no less than forty article
/, In the Advertiser regarding tn
case?" asked Thompson. Howeve
y he was not allowed by the Court

"Ah-ha; this grows interesting
murmured Frank Thompson.
e II. NJ. Ayres, sporting editor M
prbmoter OF prize-fghts," came in Il
his share of attention, being referr'
to several times in the questions as
ed Hatfield. He was finally pass
for cause.
J. J. Sullivan was asked by La

3 the same consideration in their test
