 THE SECOND TIME Peremptory Challenges by State and Defense Will
 Be Exercised Today

Los Angeles. November 16.-The jury box in the McNamara murder trial was filled with jurors and accepted tales men for the second time late today Per emptory challenges by the state and de- fense will be exercised at the opening of court tomorrow.
 Jacob Lansing, an orchardist. is the twelfth man accepted.
 The veniremen are as follows;
 Robert Bain, carpenter
 Bynron Lisk mill owner.
 F. D. Green, orchardist. Al sworn jurors.
 Brewster c. Kenyon, Capitalist

 |. B. Sexton, retired farmer.
 A. Gribling. retired walnut grower.
 will A Brunner. a railroad engineer.
 C., A. Heath, farmer.
 William J. Andre, carpenter.
 T. H. Elliott, gardener.
 Lansing stands an excellent chance, it is said tonight, of being the first man excused by the defense tomorrow. The bie gray scrapbook nicknamed the ..Doom's Day Book" in which are pasted reports to the defense on talesmen, quotes Lansing as having said that James D. McNamara was guilty and ought to be hanged. Lansing denied he saia .nis, but Attorney LeCompton Davis sought for more than an hour to obtain an admission that Lansing's opinion ran along this line.
 William L. Andre was a union man In tine penal oil fields, but Is not now. hav- ing found, he said, that it did not benefit him to be one in California. He IS count ed on as a good one on whom 10 use one of the challenges allotted to the de fense, as is Elliott, whose examinatlon disclosed little concerning his opinions.
 Expectations tonight were that the state would excuse A Gribing, against whom District Attorney Fredericks offered a challenge on the ground that he would not convict on circumstantiai eVloehce where the death penalty was involved. Willett Brunner may be challenged, as he belongs to the Brotherhood Of Loco motive Engineers. Neither side knows a great deal about Brunner. but the state sought permission to challenge him atter he had had been accepted by both sides This was refused and it was then declared that Brunner was acceptable to the state Indianapolis, November l6.-Agents of the department of justice in thls c1tv knew the whereabouts of Frank tck nOT Eal0 to pc d WithCSo VI iif'POf in the McNamara cases, who dlsap- peared from Cincinnati some time ago in the company of William G.
