Los Angeles Cal. Oct. 20.-Out of eleven talesmen who sat in the jury box at the McNamara murder trial at the opening of court today only six were left when court adjourned until Monday.
 Of these six. however it Is consid- cred more than possible that two or perhaps three will find themselves on the jury as 1t Is sworn in.
 Those locked up tonight after nav ing been passed for cause by both sides were:
 seaborn Manning, rancher.
 F. D. Green, orange grower.
 Robert F. Bain, carpenter.
 l. is possihle that all of these will become members of the jury. nc ani- mus against any of them on either side being apparent tonight.
 A. R. Mcintosh. challenged by the state because of his opposition to the death penalty on eirenmstantial evidence will be questioned by the court before he is held or excused
 George W. Mckee, who says he is firmly convinced that the Los An geles Times was blown up by dynz- mite. was under Interrogation by the court at the close of today's session.
 He Is not wanted by counsel for the defense, who assert that James McNamara. their client could not have dynamited the building, and caused the 1eath of Charles J. flag gerts, for which he is being tried. beeaase the building was hlowa ID by gas
 They therefore challenged Mckee anu are awaiting rtiiifg from Judge Bordwell Mckee says he has no opinion as to the gplt or innocence of tine defendant.
 A c. Robinson after being chal. lenged because of his opposition to conviction on circumstantial evidence, was he'll by the court, the challenge being disailowed for the time.
 T. w. Adams, Ernest F. Decker, F, !. Shower, Otto A. lesson, and F. Y. Quackenbush all were excus- ed upon challenges for indirect bias. This is the closest the state could come under the California statute, to formal challenges. because each man said he would not inflict the death penalty upon circumstontial ev- idence, ami Judge Bordwel's efforts to learn if this was their real state of mind seemed to reveal that it was.
 At the afternoon session ot court Judge Bordweli excused talesmen Shower and Adams, who were chai- lenged for cause by the defense and the state, respectively.
 shower had said he believed that James B. MeNamara was guilty Of blowing up the Los Angeles Times and that he believed that the state- ment over the signature of ortie E. McMangal to this effect.
 Talesman Adams, whose views on Socialists were made the subject Of Interrogation, was challenged by the state because of alleged bias after he had said he was opposed to in- flietion of the death penalty on cir cumstantial evidence.
 Talesman Robert F. Bain, a carp enter over 70 years oli, told Attor- ney Horton that he originated the first labor union in Los Angeles
 Is there feeling in your mind that General Otis got about what ne deserved in the destruction of his propertygg asked Attorney Horton
 T never had any such feeling
 Do you feel that because of the altitude of the Times toward iapof unions was considered pretty strin- gent, labor union men were justified in using unusual means?
