JURY DESIRE TO
EVADE SERVICE.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 2l.-Feel-
ing that some serious "hoodoo" hov-
ers over the Mcnamara trial, many
prospective jurors are doing their
best 10 disqualify themselves and
court officials admit it looks peculiar
that FIVE of ten man who have
prored acceptable 10 both sides have
had to be excused because illness
developed either 10 themselves or TO
members Of their family.
Even James B. Mcnamara admits
that some strange fatality is interfer-
ing with his fight to gain his free
dom. Despite the fact, that he was
never before sick in his life, ever since
the trial begun he has been suffering
with a severe cold which refuses TO
yield to treatment.
When court reeonvened today the
state began an earnest attempt to
eliminate NJ. ]. Mooney, passed TOT
cause by the defense. The real IS
sue is one that has cropped out
humber Of times during the present
trial-his nationality and religion.
Mooney is a prominent Catholic and
Irishman and the state wants to get
rid OF him on that account. All al
ternoon he had resisted the fierce in
terrogation insisting he had no opin-
ion whether the Times building was
blown up or was destroyed by a fire.
Today the state began Interrogation
along the line Of circumstantial evi-
dence, hoping to dislodge him on
that ground.

prominent citizens of the community,

OF her lips, as she repeated the details
OF the outrage, none would have
guessed that the girl was relating the
story OF her own experiences. her
idemeanor was for the most part calm.
Now and then nervous twitching oil

seem to be trying to avoid the curious
gaze from the packed courtroom, be-
trayed the feeling that she strove to
conceal only once when describing the
manner in which her clothes were torn
from her did she threaten TO break
down. And then only for moment.
Grasping at the rail OF the witness
box, her eyes fixed on her father and
mother seated nearby, she told OF the

SHOT DOWN At
SUPPER TABLE.
Attempted Assassination of a Lum-
herman. Motive of Shooting a
Mystery.
BUCKSHOT CAME IN WINDOW.
Police Actively at Work on the Case
Recent Litigation Suggested as Prob
able Reason For Act.

Basking Ridge. y. j., Nov. I'll
While physicians are endeavoring
today to save the life Of Monroe f.
Ellis, wealthy lumberman who was
mysteriously shot last night as he
sat at his dining table with his fam
lily. load Of buckshot coming
through the window, detectives are
seeking the motive for the attempted
assassination, and they expect to find
it deep down in the affairs Of the
New Jersey Lumber Association, OF
which Ellis was president. He was
in addition president of the Conkling
Lumber Company.
II was, however. as president Of the
New Jersey Lumber Association that
Ellis was particularly prominent.
There are few trade combines that
have been marked by such secret
workings as the lumber associations.
Within the past year it has been
charged by the federal government
which has hailed many of these asso-
Citations into court, that they have
been fairly honeycombed with spy
systems. Firms outside the associa-
tions, 100. have gathered similar in
formation about their rivals, and a
reign Of business terrorism has re-
suited.
Although the New Jersey Associa-
tion had never been mentioned prom
incntly in this connection it is declar-
ed that it's activities have often
brought it into contact with other
lumber associations and with inde-
pendent dealers. So great is the Sc
crecy surrounding the lumber COM
bines that detectives today are pay
ing particular attention to this phase
of the matter in investigating the
OF Ellis.
Scores of auto parties OF armed men
are securing this entire section for
Ellis assailant while others are fol-
lowing bloodhounds which have been
put upon the trail.
The shooting Of Ellis was das-
tardly. His assailant stood outside
the dining room window Of the Ellis
home and fired load of slugs from
a shot gun through the window. Sew
eral narrowly missed Mrs. Ellis and
the two small Ellis children. Ellis
condition is very serious.
Detectives today attach particular
Significance to a remark made by Ellis
as he sank to the floor when shot
One of the slugs had struck the wood
work in the dining room and flying
splinter had drawn blood from the
neck of Ellis 14-year-old son.
why would they take a chance
of killing that boy in trying to shoot
me?" members Of the family say Ell
lis cried out.
Both Ellis and members of his fam
lily deny that there has been any Ia
Dor troubles in his mills, and they as
scrt that they do not know Ellis had
an enemy in the world.
