GRAFT DEFENDANTS
DEALT HEAVY BLOW
Entire Jury Panel Drawn to Try
San MateO Doodle Cases
Is Disqualified

REDWOOD CITY, March 2.-To Ray
mond r. Benjamin. chief deputy attor-
ney Of Attorney General Webb's ONCE
who has been intrusted with the prose-
cution Of Sheriff Chatham. Supervisors
Coleman and Blackburn and former Su-
pervisors Debenedetti and j. c. Eiker-
enkotter. belongs the. credit OF deal
ing the defense the heaviest blow un-
der which they have labOred during
the hearing of the county's graft trials.
BY sweeping aside the whole venire
OF jurors selected to sit in the coming
cases. Benjamin has paved the way for
the disqualification OF the sherin and
coroner with the ultimate selection or
an elisor in view.
Following the rollcall Of jurymen in
the supervisor cases this morning by
County Clerk Nash. (which showed p
OF them present, Benjamin called the
attention of the court to the fact that
two Of the supervisors now on trial.
Coleman and Blackburn. selected the
jurors from their districts. while
third member Of the board. Francis.
who also selected jurymen for the pres
ent trial. is a son in law OF Debene-
detti, former supervisor and accused
official
OTHER REASONS ADVANCED
Five other reasons were advanced by
Benjamin for the jury's disqualification,
each one being backed by many au-
thorities.
1T would be travesty on justice to
allow the accused to select the men
who are to sit in Judgment in their
cases. said Benjamin. Even honor
able men on the jury will be viewed
with suspicion on account OF the cir
cumstances and it is due to the jurors
as much as to the cause OF justice that
the panel be dismissed
CHALLENGE Is ALLOWED
After further calling the attention OF
the court to the fact that Chatham. the
accused sheriff. had summoned these
men, Benjamin submitted his challenge.
In reply, Linforth, for the defense. as
serted that the grounds Of challenge
did not conform with those allowed by
the statute and that as the sheriff was
not interested in these trials the ref
erence to him had no force.
THE law does not contemplate any
such procedure as has taken place here
and the challenge will be sustained
was the decision of Judge Dooling in
allowing Benjamin's plea
Afiidavits of disqualification against
Chatham and Coroner H. @. Plymire
will be submitted by Benjamin tomor-
row and the hearing on those proceed
ings has been set for 1 o'clock Thurs
day. The prosecution is confident OF
success in the elisorship fight. 1t Is
rumored that John ]. Friel, a San Ma
teo police officer, Will be appointed 10
that position.
James Co0hrane. who has lately
gained much publicity. will assist in
the defense OF Chatham, whose case is
also set for Thursday.
