GUST BIASED JUROR IN
THE MCNAMARA CASE
Defense's Challenge and Nelson
Is Rejected.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Wheu seem
ingly caught in its first snag, the
Mcnamara murder trial in an instant
twisted itself out of a situation which
had worried opposing counsel for four
days. 1t was the fight over Z. T. Mel
son, Venireman, the state wishing
to retain him as a juror, while the de-
Tense sought his discharge as such
Nelson was dismissed after the
state had withdrawn its objection to a
challenge for cause, and after Nelson
had admitted that he had formed an
opinion of the guilt or innocence OF
the prisoner and that it would take
mighty strong evidence to shake
him."
Judge Bordwell questioned Nelson
and he admitted he had obtained in
formation about the alleged dynamit-
ing Of the Times building from per-
sons with whom he had talked and
from newspapers.
If you were chosen as juror in
this case could you and would you, not
withstanding the opinion you have
formed. act impartially on the evil
dence submitted to you?" Judge Bord-
well asked.
1T would take pretty strong evil
dence before | could" was the reply.
wrangle between lawyers as to
whether he should have answered yes
or no followed and Nelson said he
could not answer the question. The
state then withdrew its objection and
Judge Bordwell permitted Nelson to
step out. Thus ended the first Skin
mish in the trial.
Mcnamara was silent throughout
the sessions. He maintained a strong
interest in the examination of the
talesmen, but offered no suggestions.
