E ENSE LOST
ITS CHALLENGES

Los Angeles. Oct. sO.-A. B. Winter
and Walter N. Frampton, the tales
men against whom the Mcnamara. de-
Tense made a bitter but unsuccessful
fight Friday and Saturday, were re-
tanned by Judge Bordwell today on the
challenge by the defense on the ground
that neither believes In the infiiction
OF death penalty on circumstantiar
evidence.
The previous challenges against
each on the ground or expressed bias
was disallowed. The state opposed
the latter challenges on the ground
that no one but the people had a
right to challenge on that ground.
The judge declared the defense's
second challenges were made with the
intent to get rid Of the men for
grounds other than those made in the
challenge.
The decision destroyed the hopes OF
the defense of getting rid OF Winter
and Frampton without using peremt-
DRY challenges.
