but his eyes never left the face Of the
young attorney until the noise ceased.
Moore Is Scored

contempt, and I warn you that this

be tolerated have directed you to
proceed, and now 1 shall see 10 it that
you DO so
Moore gulped and asked new aues-
ton. He held a check on himself for
the space OF about three minutes. and
then he .precipitated a quarrel with
Heney through the misstatement of
testimony given at former trials. The
subject Of the controversy had about
as much to do with the talesmans
state OF mind as it did with the cause
OF the bad weather outside, but the
argument grew in vehemence until
Judge Bawlor once more intervened.
Then order was restored and there was
smooth sailing for at least 10 minutes.
In the meantime the prospective juror
had managed TO get in a word here and
there, and had made it known that he
wouldn't accept the testimony, of any
juror. Heney was trying him out on
the subject through an effort to pin
him down TO definite statements when
Judge LAwlor interfered and allowed d

August Hansen. q printer of 1927
Twelfth avenue. who was the first
talesman examined after Dixon was
passed at the morning session, was
passed without challenge by Stanley
Moore after he had declared that in any
bribery case he would demand testi-
mony from some person who had seen
the money pass. He told Heney that
he had quit reading The Gail and the
Bulletin because OF their attitude
toward the graft cases and had taken
to the Chronicle and the Globe. Heney
smiled knowingly and went deeper into
the subject
The deeper he went the more the
Juror became involved in his effort to
explain his views on the subject OF
graft without admitting that he ia
vored the commission Of crime. Heney
warmed up like a wood stove and Han
sen melted The upshot was that when
Heney interposed a challenge il was
promptly allowed by the court over
Moore's objection.
Tries Some Questions
Stanley Moore tried some questions
on George F. Alberti similar to those
which brought him into conflict with
! the court later in the day. Alberti, an
insuranceman, said that he believed
the prosecution had done right in
granting immunity to the supervisors,
and Moore suggested that Rudolph
-Spreckels had made the first offer
Heney objected to the question on the
ground that 1t misstated facts Moore
! retorted sharply that he knew the
facts TO be as he had drawn them.

The prospective juror was completed,

ment that followed, but he was give1

again performed the role of peace

that he had an opinion concerning Cal
