 AND FIERCER THAN EVER
(Continued from Page one.l


 Ettor and Giovanniti were arrested two days later. It was mot contended that they were present at the shooting but that having, as lea ders of the strike, encouraged, advised and coun- seIed unlawful violence, the act was constructively theirs.
 Saliva atore Scuito and Joseph Caru- so were arrested as the principals, the theory Of the police being that Scuito did the shooting, using Caruso's shoulder as rest for his weapon
 Bail was refused Ettor and his fel- low leaders and they were confined first in the Essex county house of cor rection and then in the Lawrence jail. Saturday morning, they were whiEked in an automobile to Salem. The gov ernment was prepared for their trial in June but the defense asked a, de- lay and it was thought best to post pone the strain of the trial to cooler weather.
 The quota. of talesnen from which the panel is to be drawn included many leading New Englanders. Will liam A. Brown, Jr., Boston, broker, Warren R; Bowen, College professor. E. Forrest Dwel1ey, civil engineer, John D. Emerson, bank cashier, Leon ard W. Libbey, architect and James E. Mannix, editor, were some of them.
 Ettor. Giovannftt and Caruso were brought to the courthouse before $ o'clock before the crowd became so dense They were taken to a deten- tion room just off the courtroom
 Instead of 9:30 o'clock, it was 1:06 when the three prisoners filed into the courtroom, handcuffed. They were led to the iron barred cage in the center of the room and locked in. They faced the judges bench:
 The silence was tense as the pr1s- oners walked across the room. The taIesmen, all of them, finally, at the last moment, having been massed 1n7 to the tiers about the room. were young men and old men, rich men and poor men-aH possible jurors of the fates of these three men, as they this Ettor and this Giovanniti and were-thrilled.
 The reason for the Iateness of the Quinn, District Attorney Attwin and ] Fred More, counsel for the 1 defense had long conference regard | ing the submission of evidence, etc. / |
 stHear ye: Hear ye;'' Clarioned the 1 court at 11:10 and after a short in l terval; Judge Quinn. deeoro1s r and took his chair. The heavy whirr of | the official machinery began.
 Almost at once District Attorney | AttwiH stood up to read the 1ndfct- | ment. Stenograpf1ers were sworn in | and the exceptions noted, all in brief time. A bill of particulars was de- 1 nied CaruSo'S counsel.
 The work of choosing jurors began 1 irnm ediateIy as the defendants were ! willing to waive the polling of jurors.
 'iRegarding the duty of jurors. said Judge Quinn, tI feel you are all | with the importance of this | capital trial and that jury work is the | sacrifice is necessary, know, but I 1 think it should be gladly made by | anyone called to serve.
 ''The law states that certain Ques- | tions be put to each possible juror. 1 Of course, these include questions re- garding relationship, prejudice, etc., as we'll as the question regarding the view as to the capital pun 
 Quinn went on to argne for fair and impartial trial He said he knew in this day and age kept up with current events and there could be anyone present who was unacquainted with the shooting at Lawrence but he said this should not keep talesman from serving.
 Unless talesi11an has formed q deep opinion on the case he is eligi- o1e," he said.
 '"The counsel for the defendants nave asked me in examining taIesmen .o ask additional questions to the statutory ones but think that is not necessary"
 The defendants lawyer had intend ed to have jurors questioned as to abor. etc., but Quinns attitude pre- rented such a course. In choosing urors, the first talesnan called was James A. Eaton, janitor, Of Andover, Mass. He was excused as he said he lid not believe in capital punishment.
 The first juror drawn was Christian ". Larsen, ha1f dresser or tdaVer- l lil1, Mass. He stood for full three minutes on the floor while the prison ITS looked him over. They let him 70 uncha1lenged and he took the first eat in the jury box.
 The next. talesman, Stephen MI Horse, Rockport 1aborer, was chai- enged by the comm monwea1th and dis 1 missed.
 F'rcn1 15 to 20 more talesmen were ( xamined, most of them being chal- en ged bv the commonwealth. The est were excused by the judge or hallenged by the prisoners.
 When court adjourned at ! D. n ut one man sat in the box. Ettoy nd Giovanniti were led from the : ourthouse to waiting cabs. A cordon f police made an avenue through the rowd for them and at times had to Tub the mob back.
 Cheers. went up for them, mostly in italian, from the hundreds of their ountrymen gathered there Ettor , nd Giovanniti waved their hats just 1 efore the carriage doors were slam ned shut on them by the deputies.
 Their entire route to the jail where hey were taken for dinner was uarded by bluecoats. I
