HARD
TO GET IN
FLYNN CASE

Seven jurors had practically
been agreed upon when the Gurley
Flynn conspiracy case closed at
noon today. A jury may be Sc
cured this afternoon, but it is not
probable that it will be, as the de-
Tense has not yet used any of it's
peremptory challenges. 1t is pos
sible that the regular venire of
jurors will be exhausted before a
jury is secured, and halt called in
the trial to permit the calling of
new jury timber.
Judge Kennan has permitted the
defense to question the veniremen
as TO their feelings regarding the
]. W. W., socialists, labor unions
and ether classes of radicals" AT
first these questions were barred.
Some have said that the city of
Spokane, in an effort to support its
attitude in the street speaking con-
troversy, and not Gurley Flynn, is
the real defendant. At any event,
the state of Washington and Spo-
kane county are to bear all the
expense of the prosecution, and The
city is saved the costs of the trial.
G. l. Filigno is Jointly indicted and
is being tried with Gurley Flynn.
The trial will run indefinitely, as
the defense for the girl agitatO-
will be the most elaborate yet In
troduced in any of the conspiracy
cases,

Yes, l consider Poindexter a

playing to the democrats. If l mis-

respect Poindexter has fallen short

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Feb. TO-
District Attorney Lea told the
United Press today that Luella
Smith, who, with her baby, mar
rowly escaped death in a myster-
ious dynamite explosion at the
Burke sanitarium, charged in a
statement to him that she had been
under the influence and control of
DR.. Wilfred P. Burke for several
years. She said that he seemed to
exercise a power over her which
her mentality could not resist.
81 have not sufficient evidence as
yet to place the matter before the
grand jury" declared Lea. Il am
convinced that it was not case Of
attempted suicide. There is plenty
Of evidence to indicate that a crime
has been committed, but there is
nothing to connect anyone with 1t
in direct manner"
The woman made the direct
charge to the district attorney that
DR.. Burke was the father Of her
child. DR.. Burke ridiculed the idea
and said that it had been charged
before by the woman, as the result
of a form of insanity from which
she suffered.
District Attorney Lea Is i'm.
pressed by the fact that no report
of the explosion was made to the
authorities by the management of
the sanitarium. The authorities
have proved to their satisfaction
that the dynamite was placed upon
the woman's bed while she and the
baby were asleep in a tent house"
which they occupied.

to rent a house, pay the first
