 of Case
IIssocidfcd Press DiSbdtchl


 LOS ANGELES. Feb. 27.-Ciarence $. Darrow. the Chicago attorney in- dicted for jury bribing, today suffered both loss and gain in the court pro- ceedings involving charges against him. The loss was the expected plea of guilty of Bert Franklin. former Me Namara defense detective. who ent- cred a plea to the charge of attempt ing to influence a juror.
 The plea is taken as an indication he is to be the states chief witness against Darrow. The gain was the ruling of Judge Hutton. that the dis trict attorney must furnish Darrow with a full transcript of the grand jury evidence.
 The Franklin case came first on the entered plea of guilty of attempting to influence Juror R. F. Bain. the first juror sworn in the McNamara case. The charge of actually bribing Bain was dismissed and the trial for at tempting to bribe G. N. Lockwood. a prospective juror. was postponed ninety days The time of sentence was set for Friday.
 The decision that q transcript of the case be furnished was a reversal of the former ruling of Judge Hutton, and as a surprise to the district at torneys office and caused Fredericks to assume personal charge of the Dar- row cases.
