Los Angeles, Oct. 1.-THE defense
in the Mcnamara murder trial had
passed six talesmen, one had been eX-
cused by the court and two had been
excused through challenge for cause,
when the court adjourned tonight.
The line-up of the talesmen passed to-
night are J. w. Roberts, real estate
dealer; Robert F. Balm, carpenter; H.
Y Quackenbush, expressman; A. r.
Mcintosh, baker; T. w. Adams, grocer.
and G. w. Mckee, retired real estate
dealer.
Today's reflections were 2. t. Hyatt,
excused by the court because of
scruples against capital punishment;
Sam McCreary, challenged for bias af-
ter he said he had fixed opinion re-
garding the cause of the disaster, and
Edmund s. Johnson, challenged and
excused when he said he was preju-
diced against labor unions. At this
rate the jury may be obtained in two
weeks.
Estimates that the jury room would
remain untitled until the fifteenth Of
December or perhaps until Christmas
were scaled down to two weeks and
predictions that the trial would not
end befort May first were abbreviated
correspondingly. The examination of
Talesman z. T. Nelson has cleared the
atmosphere, 1t was agreed by counsel,
defining many issues involved in the
effort to determine whether Jas. B.
Mcnamara is guilty of causing the
death of Chas. ]. Haggerty in the Los
Angeles Times explosion and fire.
Among the points made certain by
Nelson's examination are:
Any talesman who believes the
Times building was blown up believes
Mcnamara innocent in the opinion OF
the defense. This position was taken
by Attorey Clarence s. Darrow, chief
of counsel for tie defense, and 1t is
noted by counsel for the state for fu-
ture use, in the belief that IT can be
made serviceable to them in examina-
tion of talesmen who the state believes
to be undesirable. The defense may
offer an alibi for Mcnamara or may
rest solely upon the gas explosion
theory in support Of which ii has gone
as far as Europe for expert evidence.
May be we can prove an alibi;
may be we can't; may be we shall not
try to prove one" was Mr.. Darrow's
declaration in the court on this point,
but he insisted on his position regard
ing the cause of the explosion.
The effect of Nelson's long examina-
tion was perceptible yesterday and to-
day in the terse replies of talesmen
who came after him.
Yes and mo" were the answers,
there being an evident understanding
Of what the examining counsel was try
ing to learn and a willingness to find
out. The examination Of Talesman r
F. Bayne was the first thing at the
opening of court. Byne, civil war
veteran, is over sixty years old. He
passed one brief ordeal to the salts
faction of the defense when Attorney
Darrow asked him what he would do
If he had to give a verdict without
hearing the evidence" he replied Il
would not do it."

San Francisco, Oct. 17.-President
Taft bid adieu to California this af-
ternoon and his special train is now
headed for the north and east. The
SS-hour run on which he started to-
night takes him to the snow clad hills
of Montana by Thursday.
With his departure, the president
has completed his second visit to the
Pacific coast since he entered the
white house and from now until Nov.
1st, he will travel toward Washington.
From Los Angeles, Mr.. Taft will make
the longest jump of the present trip,
there being but one regularly sched-
uled stop at Ogden, Utah, tomorrow
afternoon on the journey from this
city to Butte, Mont, where on Thurs
day morning the president will again
"go ashore" for a few hours. He will
spend more than forty hours almost
continuously in his private car and
will cross California, Nevada, Utah
and Fart of Montana in a 1915 mile
stretch. From Butte, Mr.. Taft goes
through Eastern Montana, South Da-
kota, Minnesota and Illinois, with a
three days stop at Chicago, one day
In Pittsburg and then back to Wash
ington.
Although the trip has been a hard
one the president leaves the Pacific
coast in practically as good physical
condition as when he boarded his pri-
vate car in Boston more than four
weeks ago. Only once has his voice
grown husky and once only has he
failed TO accept an invitation to par
ticipate in any sort of function that
had been arranged with an eye to his
presence.
The trip from now on viii be al
most as strenuous as 1t has been for
the last four -weef5s. but II the pres
ident keeps In the same sort of trim
as now he will return to Washington
with eyes as clear and with almost
as much tan on his cheeks as when
he regularly slowed away his sticks
at Beverly, took one last look at the
Myopia links and started west to ed
ucate the people as to the policies
of his administration"
