The San Francisco call., 1909-01-27

paid his assessment into the fund raised
by the typographical union for their
benefit. Byington determined to dis
qualify him. and the old roundabout
method was resorted to and carried TO
an extent that got Byington into
trouble with the court. Judge Lawlor
finally interrupted him.
This examination is carried too far
in its leading method" declared the
court. and is Objectionable in that IL
is persuasive, seductive and well cal
culated to lead the juror to adopt the
attorneys point Of view instead of eX-
pressing his own views"
Byington asked the witness il he
had read the transcript of testimony
given at the Ruef trial and published
in a daily newspaper. Heney objected
on the ground that no such direct pub
Mcation of the testimony had been
made. Byington asserted as positively
that it was, and offered to produce the
paper.
DISQUALIFIED BY BELIEF
If you do I'll apologize returned
Heney. I know it wasn't printed in
any Of the three morning papers of
this city and If it was printed at all
it was in some obscure. scurrilous. in
significant gutter paper that 1 don't
read"
IN the end Judge Lawlor allowed the
challenge based on Mackey's statement
that he believed Ruef had received
money and had paid money to the
supervisors.
Another contest developed over the
examination of Thomas J. Larkin Of
2640 Larkin street, sewing machine
agent. 1t was nearly as bitter as in
the previous case and resulted in
number of complications and contra
dictions of testimony. The challenge
a1 after nTeV1OllS
challenges had been disailowed.
Frank c. Mccarthy. hay and grain
salesman was quickly dismissed for
entertaining a decided opinion, and
then came John Fl. Powers and Arthur
s. Holman, the two taIesmen who were
accepted Both Of the latter seemed
equally satisfactory TO both prosecu-
ton and defense and their eXamina-
tions were short.
they were accepted without chal-
lenge from either side. The session
ended with the disqualificati ton of Har-
lev G. Corwin, contractor; Andrew j.
Crawford, carpenter. and Fred Schoet-
tier, tailor.
