SELECTING JURY is SLOW
WORK In IKE COX CASE

The attorneys are still busy select
ing jury in the Cox case, and there
is no telling how much longer it will
take. Each side has fifteen peremp-
tory challenges, and so far only about
half of them have been used. When
questio ned, most of the jurors who are
called admit that they have talked
about he case with their neighbors
OF they have read about in the pa
pers, and in that way they have form
ed some opinion, or gained some i'm
preston which disqualifies them to
sit as jurors.
1t takes a pretty good psychologist
to understand the motives that lie
behind some of the questions the law
yers ask. The ordinary man thinks
that he can discuss or read about a
murder case without becoming biased
for or prejudiced against any of the
parties concerned in it, but the law
yers do not seem to think so. There
fore, they persist in asking their
searching questions, until the man who
supposed that his mind was free from
bias has to admit that he has formed
some kind OF an opinion that disquali-
iies him.
The attorneys say that it will be
some time tomorrow before the jury
will be fully selected.

MCNAMARA JURY TO BE
COMPLETED THIS WEEK

Western Press.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 27.-By the
end of the present week in the trial of
James B. Mcnamara, charged with
having caused an explosion that de-
stroyed the Los Angeles Times plant,
killing twenty-one men, it is expected
the work of jury selection will be
well on its way toward completion.
Three men are to qualify before the
fourth use of a peremptory challenge.
Should two, or even one, juror be
placed in the box at that time it is
believed that peremptories will again
be in order before Saturday, and even
with the Thanksgiving recess it is
predicted by many attorneys that the
jury box would practically be filled,

The town board seems to think that
