WORKING FOR A JURY
IN THE M'NAMARA CASE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.-When the
Mcnamara case was opened this MORN
ing, Attorney Lecompte Davis of the de-
fense began an examination of S. E.
nelson, the initial venireman, who on
Wednesday indicated that he was op-
posed to certain phases of trade unions.
After Fl. G. Quackenbuch was drawn to
fill the vacant place on the jury. Davis
continued the examination.
After many questions, Nelson admitted
he believed himself prejudiced against
labor unions, but that he could lay his
prejudice aside.
Davis then asked Nelson: IF you were
a. member of organized labor, on trial for
your life, would you feel you could get
a fair trial from juror who felt toward
organized labor as you do
Nelson refused to answer and lengthy
wrangle between the lawyers followed
Assistant District Attorney Horton then
attempted to show that Nelson would be
incompetent as witness. Nelson final =
asserted that he held no persona; bias
against the defendant but insist ed that
he could disregard his opinion and give
Mcnamara a fair trial. The State then
demanded that the challenge be dsre-
garded, citing a decision of the supreme
court which. Horton said, provel Mel
son competent Judge Bordwsi. then
asked Nelson few questions. BOcdwall
asked Nelson if instructed by the court
to do so, could and would he set aside
his opinion before being sworn. He said
he would do so. The defense objected
to the question. 1t was agreed that ar
gument on it's materiality would be heard.
The jury was withdrawn from the room
while the arguments were ma 'e. Whom

Numerous inquiries have been made of
the secretary in regard to concessions,

In the racing events 1t is expected
that some of the best stock shown on
