HAWTHORNE CASE
FINALLY STARTED

New York. November 25.-After a series
of delays the trial of Julian Hawthorne.
Josiah Quincy. former mayor of Boston
and others charged with using the mails
to defraud investors IN mining stocks.
got under way this afternoon. Before the
work of impanellng a jury began. the
case of John W. McKinnon, secretary
treasurer of the Hawthorne Iron COM
pany, was severed from that of the other
four defendants.
At the conclusion of the first days pro-
ceeding twelve tentative jurors were in
the box. with the defense having ,ine
challenges left and the prosecution six.
Some indications of the line of defense
may have been given by questions asked
of the talesmen.
Mr. Hall, counsel for Mr.. Quincy, used
this formula as a final test of talesmen:
DO you consider it criminal for a man
to take a roseate view of the value OF
his possessions, even though thee view
was roseate TO an unwarranted degree2'
Mr. Wellman, counsel for Mr.. Haw-
thorne, put it this way:
SHOULD it prove that glowing descrip-
ton of our properties made by us were
based ON engineers reports which since
have proved to be inaccurate, would
you think US guilty of intent to defraud?'
Assistant District Attorney Dorr usually
asked this questions
will you be able to distinguish be-
tween false statement made to de-
ceive and the expression of a mistaken
hope?' #k
He asked one talesnaan.
Would you be swayed in your determi-
nation of the guilt or innocence of these
defendants by the fact that they bear
distinguished names and come from dis
tinguished families?"

Olympia-Henri Sommerville,

court of working her female employees
for more than eight hours, contrary
to the eight-hour law for women, will

court has denied a rehearing in her
case.
The court held previously that the
statute was not an undue extension
of the police powers of the state, and
that the law is, therefore, constitu-
tional. The defendant tried to reopen
the case on a petition for a rehearing,
but the court affirmed it's former rul-
ing, declared the law constitutional
and dismissed the petition. The only
way now for the defendant to get
further hearing is to appeal to the
