Mr.. Darrow began to examine Mckee i'm

yes. SIR replied Mckee.
DO you think that YOU could listen ia
vorably 10 evidence that the building was
blown UP by gas
1t would take much evidence to change
your opinion
You couldn't be fair and impartial on
that subject
Il don't think so"
Here Mr.. barrow challenged Mckee for

based on reading or rumors
Judge Bordwell said he would take the
matter under advisement, but for a few
minutes opposing counsel argued the point,
Mr.. barrow declaring that by not resisting
a challenge yesterday of another tales
man for the same kind of bias the state
had conceded that such talesmen should
be disqualified.
District Attorney Fredericks refused to
admit that any such concession had been
made. and that the question of cause was

was concerned. The court declared 1t so
understood the states position TO have bias
outlined
AS I understand It," said Judge Bord-
vel, the state declares the defence has no
right to inquire into things which have yet
10 be proven by the state. and the question
of qualification is 10 a state a collateral
fact. the ultimate fact being the question
of guilt or innocence OF the defendant"
District Attorney Fredericks said he was
satisfied with the courts Interpretation.
Judge Bordwen ended the brief argument
by saying that he would pass on McKee's
eligibility later.
Otto Jensen a farmer. q talesman. said
he had a strong prejudice against the labor
unions Jensen was not allowed to say
whether he was in sympathy with The
Times's' IDEAS against labor unions" He
added that he had firm opinion as 20 the
cause Of the explosion.
Mr.. Darrow also challenged Mr.. lesson
for cause. and had A clash with Mr.. Horton
over IL lesson had said he believed the
