and not between the State of califor-
MIA and the McNamars.

asked the prosecutor.
"Because you are asking me so
many questions regarding capital and
labor, personally am of a free mind
but wou make me think that the
trouble is elsewhere" replied Morton.

not done Darrow will be un-abl' to
do this later on. The men removed
are as follows:
Robert Balm. wro organized .he first
labor union in Los Angeles.
+. ID. Green. who said that he was
acquainted with the use OF explosives
and that there was no prejudice in his
mind as to the guilt OF the defendant.
Byron Lisk. who said that he mad

Walter Clark. who said that ne
took neither sides either way.
The challenges were mae alternate

The defense excused Geo Mckee
when It was shown that Mckee was
an unfair juror.
The state excused NJ. T. McNeai.

Not Destroyed by Dynamite.


The defense has every reason to be-
lleve that IL can show that the Los
Angeles Times was not destroyed by
dynamite. II this is successful the
states case will fall to the ground
as tile district attorney is building his
entire fabrication upon the theory
that dynamite was planted in the
building with malicious intent
The fact that the families OF eight
of the victims have sued the Times
company for large sums In damages
has made deep impression upon the
public. In the suits II is alleged that
the building was destroyed by fire and
that its occupants were caught in a
terrible death-trap where no ade-
quate means of escape were at had.
II will be shown, the attorneys say,
that only two persons who were in
the ancient rookery at the time the
fire broke out, escaped by natural
exits and that these were clerks who
were on the ground floor In the busl-
ness department That any others
escaped is looked upon as a miracle.
Attorney declare that both the civil
suits aRa the criminal action will es-
tahhsh the fact that the Times was
destroyed by fire which followed an
accidental explosion brought about
the criminal negligence oC the owners
OF the building.
