Los Angeles, July 12.-Newspaper 70
pCrters who were present when Bert
H. Franklin was arraigned on a charge
of jury bribing last Decem Der, were ax-
pected to testify today in the bribery
trial of Clarence S. Darrow
At the time of his arraignment afte~
the sensational ending of the Nc
Namara trial, Franklin was quoted ir,
nearly all of the local papers to +he
effect that Mr.. Darrow had nothing
whatever to do with the bribery of the
Mcnamara jurors. During his cross
examination early in the present trial
Franklin denied that he had ever made
such statements and the newspaper
men were summoned to impeach the
testimony of the former Mcnamara de-
Tense detective.

was expected to be finished soon after
the trial was resumed today

CALLS JOHNSON DOWN
Little BaiIiG Jerks Cigar From Mouth
of Champion.

Chicago, July 12.-Jack Johnson,
champion prize fighter, with a sheep
ish smile and no retort, stood still i'll
a federal court this afternoon, while
a miIdmannered, slightly built bailiff
taught him a wholesome respect for
the judiciary and its adjuncts.
Johnson and his wife were arraigned
before United States Commissioners
Buell. on indictments charging them
with smuggling $4,000 diamond neck
lace into this country from Europe. At
ter a short formal arraiSnment they
were released, pending trial on $1,000
bail each.
When arraigned Johnson bit on-a big
black cigar. He kept his straw hat
on. When about to be sworn he raised
his clenched left fist as if on the de-
fensive in prize fight ring.
Quick as a flash the quiet bailin
jerked down Jacks left, pulled the
cigar from his mouth and made him
remove his hat.
Put up your right hand" command
ed the bailiff
The negro fighter obeyed without
murmur. His triumphant grin melted
into one that might be described as
foolish. The proceedings were over
in a moment.
No date was set for the hearing OF
the charges against johnson and his
wife If the court, in the event that
the couple are found guilty, should i'm
pose the maximum penalty, the prize
fighter and his wife would have tc
spend two years in prison and pay a
fine of $4,000.
