tance of the majority of talesmen to

Conboy followed the proceedings
with close and attentive interest, oc-
casionally comforting with his attor-
news Robert Ferral and J. j. Dunno.
At the first trial, which ended with
hung jury, 10 voting for conviction of

evening. District Attorney F'ickert and
Assistant District Attorney Maxwell

the prosecution.
Forty-two talesmen were questioned
yesterday to get the four jurors. Most
of them seemed anxious to disqualify
themselves.
j. Won Stadon said he would rather
not serve because he had known Con-
boy 20 years, but said that if sworn
he would do his duty and give both
sides a fair trial. He was excused by
consent. Charles Paul presented GER
tificate as a member of the national
guard, which he said exempted him
from duty.

remarked Judge Dunno.

from the first that | can not serve" de-
clared Paul. He was excused.

defense was John H. McCallum of 123
Liberty street, who said he could rem
der an unbiased verdict. but admitted
he did not see how drunken man could
