Complete Jury
In Mcnamara Case
Not Yet Found.

LusAngeles Cal, Nov. Barring one
man, the third venire of prospective
jurors was exhausted at the close of
court, tonight, in the Mcnamara murder
case. Altogether 207 venremen have
been drawn. OF these 10 sat in the jury
box, tonight. having been accepted as TO
cause by both sides-a gain of one man
since yesterdays session, in which no
talesman was passed.
Counsel for both prosecution and de-
fence in the trial of James B. McNa-
mara renewed predictions that the enelre
19 might be accepted by tomorrow night
If there was no hitch IN getting more
veniremen to examine.
The newcomer is NJ r McNealey, q
retired tailor. He is still subject TO per-
emptory challenge if the state or the de-
fence should desire to exercise it. It
was considered unlikely, tonight. that
the defence SO desired.
Counsel for the defence stirred up
some excitement when Judge Bordwell
excused two talesmen on the ground
that they did not believe in conviction
OH eireumstantial evidence where the
death penalty was involved. In one case
the state asserted It had exercised 4
challenge although it admitted it sFas
not couehed in formal phrasing, but in
the other the talesman was brought back
and re-eXamined over protest by the de-
fence.
The incident lost significance when o.
H.. Hayes. the returned talesman. was
excused for actual bias after he had said
he believed he could not give McNamara
fair trial and Judge Bordwell said he
would refrain from questioning any more
jurors on that point.
| Byron l.. Lsk, under examination
when court adjourned, seemed to meet
the approval of the defence He and II
V. Blenkiren were the only two in ths
box not accepted as to cause and the
defence said. tonight, that it had only
one more question to ask.
Edward r. Jeffrey, under examination
said:
IF men belonged to a union they
could not work for me"
He was challenged for bias.
w II. Andrews is the sole talesmar
left in the third yenire.
Judge Bordwell said. tonight he wa,
undecided as to when the next venirc
would be drawn.

MANTELL'S VOICE
GREATEST POWER
IN MACBETH ROLE
Magic Touch of Artist Shown
in His Conception
of Part.

Robert Mantell, who will complete a
week of Shakespeare at the Belasco
with his performance tonight, made a
splendid Macbeth last night. His con-
ception of the part and its phases Of
the warrior unafraid, the fond and dot
ing husband of woman he feared as
well as loved. the irresolute conspirator,
the royal slave of superstition, was
His execution of il was quickened with
the magic touch of the artist.
Mr.. Mantell made his Macbeth au-
sterely tragic. From his first entrance
the tone was unbfoken save only for
the tenderness of his love for his lady.
Through all the harshest passions-an-
ger, fear, hatred, envy-he moved with
increasing tenseness yet with sensitive
appreciation Of the measures of grada-
ton and transition.
Portrayal of Role.
His portrayal was equally meritorious
with his conception of the role. OF mas
terful physique and mien,s made up and
costumed with elegant regard to details,
his appearance was beyond criticism.
and his behavior and physical express
sion were magnificent. The curve of a
finger, the turn of the eye, the sturdy
step Of the warrior, the tread Of mai
esty, the faltering step of the half
proven murderer, the tottering creep Of
the conscience-stricken, all showed an
excellent knowledge of the art of mo-
ton. No gesture was excessive, none
lost.
In Macbeth, however, almost as not
ably as In his other roles this week, his
voice was his greatest power. He
brought out his lines in all theiF
strength Of diction and beauty of har-
mony. His speaking voice. profoundly
tragic from the first. was used with ad-
mira BILE effect. No word was lost, none
spoken with false stress or tone.
Miss Russel's Work.
Miss Russell was a strong, but not
altogether convincing, Lady Macbeth.
Notably in her first long soIiloquy Miss
Russell let apparent elocution detract
from the intenseness of her acting. She
played with remarkable sympathy and
power, however, and was adequate 10
the high pitch of passion demanded.
Her appearance was imposingly beau
tiful, and her enunciation effective.
Mr.. Mantell has not a strong COM
pany. Fritz Leiber, in the part Of Mac
duff, played with virile force. and was
the best of the actors of lesser degree.
The play as arranged for Mr.. Mantell
made a rapid but continuous and log
ical movement to the climax. Exquisite
costumes and scenery being brought
with close regard to the time and the
place of the drama. The best Of the
scenic effects was eXpectedly in the
witch scene, which was very. well done.

For the purpose of developing Colonial

members of the Colonial Beach Citi-
zen's Association, at their regular month
ly meeting in st. Joseph's Hall. 5th and
II streets northwest. last night, ap-
proved the plan to establish uev
steamer line between the beach and
Pope's Creek terminal of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. ~
George Mason. the city attorney for
Colonial Beach. in an address outlined
the plan for the new steamship line
He said the service the people of that
city were receiving from the boat line
now in operation between the beach and
Pope's Creek was unsatisfactory and
could not be depended upon to make
connections with trains at Popes creek.
He added that, $500 had been sub
scribed for the new project, the option
on a steamer had been secured and all
that remained was to get wharfage IA
cilities at Popes creek. This he thought
there would be no trouble in doing. The
association approved the new plan and

journed.
