 Z T. Hiatt. was excused by the court because he had scruples against capital punishment s. R. McCrearg, was challenged for bias, after he admitted that he had an opinion as whether the act was criminal. Edmund s. Johnson. was challenger for pre- judice against labor unions. Tales man Quackenbush. it was thought would be challenged as he does not believe in capital punishment
 Adams said he read as a rule. the los Angeles Times, The Social Dem ocrat and the Appeal to Reason. The questions propounded today took slightly different lines. They related to papers read by the talesmeE; any possible acquaintance with any of the twenty one victims of the explosion or relatives. and their beliefs as to whether the explosion which de stroyed the Times building was caus- cd by dynamite or gas, in the case or Mckee. however, there was a slight variation from these.

 The examination of venireman Ed mund $. Johnson furnished one of the most notable deviations from the us ual run of questions and answers. Johnson once worked for a wholesale druggist in Chicago. and was engaged in several occupations before he came 10 California.

 If you were a member of a labo. union, and the Times explosion had ! happened as it did during the strike, and you were arrested as responsible would you want a man of your frame of mind to try you:'
 No. for I have seen so much oi labcr troubles"
 Challenge for cause. said Attor- ney Darrow. whereupOn the court eX. cused Johnson.
 Most of the other jurcrs examined admitted opinions in the case but in most cases they declared that this was nor fixed but they could give tbe de- fendant a fair and impartial trial. To days work delighted the court and counsel for both sides, and the tales men themselves. At the present rate the jnry may be secured within two weeks
