ACCEPTED TO TRY PATRICK
CALHOUN IN FRISCO.

jurors have been temporarily passed
to try the case of Patrick Calhoun,
president of the Tinted Railroads,
who is charged with attempting to
bribe a former supervisor of this city.
Otto H. Macroth. retired grocer, was
passed today.
A few moments later the attorneys
for the defendant exhausted all ave-
nues of inquiry directed against Rich
ard Lutge, manager of an iron foun-
dry, whose examination was COM
menced last Friday. Stanley Moore,
of the defense, who had already inter-
posed challenge for cause in the
case OF Mr.. Lutge, requested the court
to review the statements of the juror
in the expectation that the challenge
would be submitted tomorrow.
Judge Lawlor's ruling in the order
for Interrogation of talesmen from
the 34th special venire indicated that
the jury is TO consist of 13 members,
II of whom are already sworn, and
that the next exercise of peremptory
challenges, which will probably occur
tomorrow, will be the last change in
jury membership before the taking of
testimony.
