WOULD NOT BELIEVE
ATTORNEY UNDER OATH
s. Basch, Accepted Juror, Makes
Speech From Box

Unwillingness to believe the word
of any attorney, even under oath, led
to the excusing of S. Basch, called to
serve as juror IN Judge Graham's
court yesterday in the case of Charles
S. Naylor against Frank L. Wright,
suit for attorneys fees. After Basch
had been examined by both sides and
had been accepted he arose in the box,
evidently laboring under considerable
excitement.
Judge" he said, they have not
asked me one important question:"
What is thatT asked Judge Ora
ham.
They did not ask me whether I
would believe the word of an attorney
and / want 1t understood right now
that 1 would not. L would not believe
any lawyer even under OATH"
Basch went on to explain that many
years ago he hired lawyer for some le-
gal business and that it was contracted
he should pay $50 for the work. In the
end the attorney sued him for $1,000
for legal services.
Il abhor all attorneys" Basch
shouted. concluding his little speech.
BY consent of both sides he was ex-
cused from serving in the case.

SOLDIER JORDAN PLEADS
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER
Fails to Secure Funds for Con-
duct of His Defense

Protesting that he should be al
lowed further time, Thomas J.. Jor-
dan, the soldier who is charged with
having shot and killed Police Sergeant
Antoine Noting on the night of jan
uary 8, pleaded not guilty of murder
yesterday morning before Judge Ca
baniss. j. A. Spinetti, assigned as his
attorney by the police court Judge, in
trodueed an affidavit by Jordan stating
that he was without money; that he
had written to his relatives in Ohio
asking for assistance; that he had re-
ceived no answer and could not get
one before February 4, and that he
objected to being compelled to plead
until he could have an attorney of his
own choosing. # his relatives furnish
the money he will retain former Judge
Carroll Cook to defend him.
Prosecutor Hanley insisted that
Jordans plea should be taken there
and then and pointed out that he had
had a weeks delay since he was ar
raigned. Judge Cabaniss having over
ruled the defendants application, Jor-
dan, under protest pleaded not guilty.
The case went over to next Saturday
to be set for trial.

by District Attorney Langdon and his

was anxious to know from the
talesmen whether or not they would

Ruef and Ford. should they be called
as witnesses. The answer usually was
to the effect that the jurors would hear

looked more like shah
by steel filings than
anything 1 have ever
seen. 1t was a mod
erately small scoop
shape, trimmed with
bands \ of gray and
green ribbons and hav-
ing a buckle in the
front of shirred ribbons
shaped like a horse
shoe, with a jet ca
bochon in the center.
In the front stood two
uncurled ostrich feath-
ers = green - and fin
ished on the end with
something called hum
ming bird fancies-
being bands made APP
parently of the little
birds breasts. This
sounds as though the
hat were only a joke,
but this is an accurate
description.
Not all the hats are
ugly, even to the I'M
accustomed eye. One
exquisite affair was of
amethyst wood straw,
a deep square crowned
scoop with no upward
tilt to the brim at all,
trimmed simply with a
tiny braid and bow of
the same straw. 1t was
faced with amethyst
silk, and on either side
under the brim were
little clusters of tiny
delicate hued flowers.
Another beautiful hat
was rather on the order
of a toreador turban in
salmon pink straw,
trimmed simply with a
double chain of inch
long cut jet beads.
Sewed to the inner edge
of the turban was a
black chantilly lace
veil with wide Dor
der, which was coquet-
tishly shortened on the
right side. The. ends
of the veil fell from
the back of the turban
below the waist.
1 nearly forgot some
thing very important,
and that is the stream
ers or sashes that hang
from the brim of half
the hats shown. They
are elaborate editions
of the bonnet strings
of your grandmother,
only they are not tied
under the chin.
Sometimes there is
only one of them, and.
it comes from the side

there are two, and on

are drawn back and
knotted a few inches
below the brim in the
back. You let them

drape them gracefully

you toy coquettishly

bilities of these rib
