 Its about time to get busy with the jury" Franklin quoted Darrow as say ing to him October 5, 1911. The next day he said Darrow gave him a check for 5000, to be used in buying the vote of Robert M Bain, who later be-
 came the first sworn juror in the trial He said he had known Bain for
 20 years and that he had arranged for the corruption of the juror
 Franklin followed George N Lock

 Lockwood admitted on cross exami- nation that he never had been sub poenaed as juror in the McNamara case. The defense undertook to show that Lockwoods name had been drawn after he had consulted with the district attorney and part of the pro- posed continuation of an alleged conspir- acy against Darrow.
 Franklin took the stand after the ex- animation of Lockwood He said he was employed by the McNamara de- fense to investigate prospective Jurors. Copies of his reports were delivered to attorneys for the defense he said.
