OF ATTEMPT TO
AID CALHOUN
Burns Traces Source of Marked
Editorials Sent to Pros
pective Jurors
Citizens Alliance Stamp on Cir
cuIated Clippings From
the Globe
By W. Russell Cole

All VestiEe OF DOUBT concerning tlte
responsibility for the attempt that has
been made TO arouse sentiment favor
able to Patrick Calhoun by the mailing
Of marked editorials from the Globe 10
n-ospective Jurors and others was fin
ally removed yesterday. Special Agent
Burns Of District Attorney Langdon's $
STAFF received absolute confirmation OF
the belief which has existed for sew
eral davs that the citizens alliance
was responsible for the distribution Of
this matter.
Another juror was added yesterday
morning 10 the list Of those to whom
marked copies Of the Globe have been
sent. This was Viggo c. Dahl Of %
joyce street. member Of the special
venire which was examined by the
court during the morning session
Dahl neglected to mention the matter
while undergoing preliminary eNamina-
ZION by the court. but after leaving the
room returned and called Judge Law
lors attention 10 the fact. This was
Incidental. however. 10 the positive dis
corery that TIE anti-union organization
has given itself TO the personal use OF
the head Of the United Railroads.
BEARS ALLIANCE STAMP
Special Agent Burns received re-
port yesterday from the members OF
The citizens alliance. who stated that
one OF the marked copies Of the GLOBE
had come 10 him in an envelope pear
ing the stamp Of the citizens alliance
and having enclosed with IL Dill tor
his dues to the organization me en-
velope and its contents were turned
over 10 Burns. who is holding them as
evidence in the event that necessity
should arise for their use In view
~ an attempt made by the Globe itself
TO dfscIaim all knowledge of the mail
ing Of these marked copies when the
exposure was first made, and the fur-
ther fnsinuatiOns in that organ that
Burns might have sent them out as A
means OF discrediting the defense, IL
is significant that the marked pages
received by the jurors have not been
taken from regular copies Of the paper.
All the nages that have been received
have been printed on special sheets OF
proof paper. squarely cut at both
edges and not torn from any regular
issue Of the paper. thus showing that
they were specially printed for the par
ricular purpose for which they have
beer used.
DahFs report Of the receipt OF one OF
these marked pages was the only incl
dent Of the morning session Of the Cal
houn trial that led away from the or
dinary groove.
TWO LEFT IN BALANCE
The day passed without bit Of actual
nn~NH-
though TWO talesmen were left lowering
on the border between temporary ac-
ceptsnce or disqualification. One OF
these was James r. eastman. the clerk
whose examination was begun Thurs
dav afternoon. and the other was Wal
ter Towers OF SIS Chenery street, dry
goods merchant, who was the last tales
man called yesterday afternoon. Neither
examination was concluded and the final
settlement Of both cases has gone over
until Monday. as there viii be no ses-
sion Of the trial today.
eastman was recalled when court
convened yesterday morning. but the
inquiry addressed 20 him progressed
only q little way beyond the point
reached Thursday. The talesman was
passed by the defense, but the prosecu-
tfon displayed some skeprIcism concern
ing his alleged freedom from opinion
and bias
EXCUSED AFTER CLASH
William .. Cody, a real estate dealer
connected with the Parkside realty com
pany. was excused after a brief clash
between members OF counsel and the
court. Heney Interrupted Stanley

be directed 10 the latter's state Of MIND
in order 10 prevent useless waste OF

Quested. but instead OF following the
obstruction given Moore returned tC
questions regarding personal ac-
uuaintance between Cody and former
Supervisor Andrew Wilson

corning the guilt OF innocence OF the
defendant. and Stanley Moore fnaIly

HTS IDEA OF IMMUNITY
Charles r. Coady, retired carpenter
and contractor OF 215 Precfta avenue
succeeded in prolonging his own exam
ination to an unusual extent by the ex
preston OF some unique views on tn.
subject OF immunity. He thought tina
immunity was a good thing for the city
he said. but il was only after makinS
wide circles around the subject and at
tacking il from all sides that Stanle'
Moore persuaded the talesman to ex
plain exactly his state OF mind. At las
the vulnerable spot was found and Cod,
aired his views at greater length II
thought that immunity meant none,
