CARE OF JURORS
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Mea Who Will Try McNamara Want
to Sleep in Open Air and They
Fear Death Unless They Can Get
Home Cooking.

Les Angeles. Calf. Oct, 12.--Out
door sleeping took the form of a
menace last night in the Mcnamara
trial Eleven talesmen, locked up
last night in the newly vanished
room Of the Hall of Records, report
ed today that sleep was impossible
for those used to the outdoor habit
and one of them, C. P, Haitta, re-
quired medical aid in the night.
The men faced long confinement
in the trial of James b. Mcnamara
on the charge of murder in connec-
tion with the explosion and fire that
destroyed the Los Angeles Times
building.
Sheriff William ITammel imme-
diafely took steps to alter the ar
rangement and tonight the talesmen
slept in a vacant court room with
many windows across the court from
the trial room.
Il Is feared that six months of
hotel eating may prove fatal to some
of the prospective jurors who are ac-
customed to home cooking and
Sheriff Hammell isa looking for a
private house where the Jurors may
have their meals and perhaps sleep.
A state holiday which interrupted
court proceedings today, was only

Yet, Excepting an Occasional Bloom
Not Yet in acknowledgements
Much Lower in Last Springs Freeze.

The sudden cold snap Of Sunday
night, which gave promise of threaten
ing early fruit Monday night, did not
result in any damage. altho the mer-
curry touched 81 and brought white
frost. A freeze was escaped however,
and farmers and fruit growers turnout
the northern part of the county an
nounced today that the frost did no
damage. By o'clock, in exposed spots
the suns rays had removed practically
all traces Of the frost.
The latness of the season is an i'm
portant factor in the freeze risks that
can be looked for even later than the
first Of May and with the exception
OF an occasional plum blossom and a
few blossoms on the early crabapple
trees, the early fruit trees are not yet
in bloom The cherries are not in bloom
yet, neither are the early apples. altho
the trees are full Of swelling buds that
will develop into blossoms within the
next week providing the weather re-
mains mild.
AS g. comparison of the temperature
Monday night, and that Of a year ago
In April when the damage was done to
fruit trees, the mercury lacked several
degrees of being near the danger point.
The real damage to early fruit a year
ago was done on April II and is, when
the mercury reached 20 and % above
when the trees were in full bloom. On
the goth the mercury had risen to %,
on the 21st registered the same, and
on the Gath dropped two degrees lower.
The maximum temperature Monday
