Prosecution and defense expected
that the two jurors required to com
plete the jury would be selected to-
day. The special venire ordered by
Judge Hutton Saturday was summon
ed to be present in court this after

London. May 20.-Sir Cosmo Duff
Gordon, was subjected today to a bit
terly hostile examination into his con-
duct at the sinking of the steamer I'll
tanic. When the board of trade hear
ing was resumed under the presidency
of Lord Mersey, the drill hall of the
London Scottish Rifles was crowded
reserved places being given to fash
ionably gowned women who came to
the armory in motor cars.
did you promise the crew five
went back to the rescue?'' asked the
attorney general. Sir Rufus ISaacs.
L never knew the boat went back,
was the reply.
The attorney appearing on behalf
of the Irish third class passengers
asked Gordon If he had suggested that
the boat go back and receiving a neg
alive reply, then asked: You saved
Your lives and left the others to
DROWN
Lord Mersey:
THE position of the witness is bad
enough. Do you Think it fair to ask
such question then 2"
This brought a round of applause
fro mthe women in the gallery, which
was repeated time after time without
a word of reproof from the Judge.
Duff Gordon testified that T. Bruce

Star line, the night of the ira gedy

only companion. This is G contradic-

Edwards, NJ. P, the attorney for the
lockers union. called attention to the
difference between the evidence of G.
Symons, the lookout of the Titanic,
and that of Duff Gordon. The former
had said both women and men rushed
to the boats, while Duff Gordon in
sisted that his story that he had been
waiting on the deck 70 rsome time
before asking permission to enter a
boat was correct.
Attorney Edwards: THE possibil
ity of offering help to people in the
water was never thought of.
Duff Gordon admitted this. Duff
Gordon, who lost his temper, finally
was relieved of this unfriendly cross
examination and under the direction
of Attorney Duke went over his story
of the incidents which are now IA
miliar.

KELLEY TRIAL IS SLOW
County commissioners VIII Not Finish
Evidence Today.

From the slow progress made today
An the Kelley bond case, 1t was appaf-
ent that the action involving the SAFE
of Shawnee county's Missouri Paclflc
bonds. will occupy the attention of the
jury the greater portion of the Week.
This afternoon the county board was
only we'll under way with its evidence
and the defense will require more than
a day to examine its witnesses.
Evidence in the trial of the case is
similar in many respects to the testi-
nlony offered in the recent Grant town
ship action frora Reno county. AS. N
the case of Shawnee county, Grant en-
deavored TO recover from Kelley &
Kelley, the brokers, the alleged value OF
the railway stock. The trial resulted
in verdict for the defendants
At the morning session today, Coun-
ty Attorney Simon offered numerous
exhibits and read to the jury state
ment made by the defendants in the
presence of the county board at the
time negotiations were under way for
the sale of the bonds. Several deposit
tons concerning values of stock mat
tiers relative to the Kelley deals were
offered. Over several of the depos1-
lions, the defense made stubborn objec-
ton. Nor was their opposition in vain.
Judge Whitcomb repeatedly pruned and
trimmed this testimony and the defense
believed they had gained ground in
the days examination.
County Clerk Zimmerman was the
principal witness called to the stand
today. Testifying in behalf of the coun-
ty board. he told of the transactions
with the bond brokers.
The prosecution of the case is being
conducted by County Attorney E. r.
Simon, while the firms of Hazen &
Cav, Waters & Waters, and D. r.
Hite, appear for the defense.
The railway bonds. bearing a face
value of $4,000 were sold through KEEL
ley & Kelley for $4,000. 1t is nov
charged that the county did not receive
a fair consideration for the stock ami
suit was filed against the brokers
