In the case today.
When Judge Bordwell reserved his de-
cision on the application OF the defense
to remove from the Jury box ''for
cause" Venireman Nelson, he made Il
plain TO both SIDES that an interpretA-
ton OF the qualification clauses OF the
penal CODE enacted by the legislature
to rescind the common law provision.
was extremely difficult. but that his de-
cision would lay down an absolute law
which both sides must observe.
The common law unqualiicdly asserts
that a person having an opinion which
II would require evidence 10 remove is
not qualified to serve on q jury. Be-
cause OF this fact. suits ty railroads
were held up many times IN California
courts. Finally the big business inter-
ests combined and forced through the
vision which declared that. where a
venireman. admitting an opinion. also
said he was willing to valve such an
opinion. he was qualified tor jury
service.
This is the crux OF the entire situa-
ton James b. Mcnamara is facing to.

tion of the penal code provision which

One Person in q Block Killed Yearly

NEW YORK, January 23.-Mrs. Fran
cesca Dechilla, an Italian mother OF
sixty years. who came to New York from
Naples only week ago to live with her
two sons, both prosperous merchants OF
the Italian quarter, was shot and killed
just after midnight this morning as she
sat by the open rear window of her sons
home in an East Side tenement. The po-
lice believe that the bullet was intended
for one of the sons. both of whom have
been the target for threatening letters.
The shot was fired from an elevation.
probably from one of the upper stories
of the tenement row in the rear.
According to tradition among the East
Side Italians, the Black Hand exacts one
life every year from the block on ChrJs-
tie street, where the Dechillas live.
Many fairly well-to-do Italians live here
and the tribute that secret organizations
get from them is said to be heavy. y
