Challenge Today.

Los ANGELES. Nov. 23.-The Nc
Namara jury took appreciable form
tonight and spread over the jury box
from the end where Juror Robert
Bain has sat for over seven weeks
with little company. Twelve men
were in the box at the close Of court
today. Five of these are sworn jurors
OF the seven others the defense is
sure to excuse four tomorrow. I'm
less it changes its mind, the state
viii not excuse any. and this means
eight sworn jurors in the box. This
is not quite tWO-thirds of the num-
Der to be sworn. as the state is to in
sist upon its legal rights and swear
i'll fourteen, two TO be used as emer-
gency jurors. so if possible to avoid
a mistrial. The defense is not sat
isfied with any of the men now in
the box, but to use seven peremptory
tomorrow would leave but
four more. and Attorney Darrow be-
lieves he can get along with four and
save the challenges for others who
may be still more Objectionable than
