JURORS ILLNESS FAKE?
barrow Lawyers Reported as Chars-
ing Leavltt Is Feignne.

ing leavitt Is Feigning.
Los Angeles, Cal, July 25,-It was
reported yesterday that attorneys for
Clarence s. Darrow, who is accused of
jury bribing, has complained to Judge
Hutton that Juror L. A. Leayitt was
feigning illness and asked for an i'm
mediate investigation by che court.
The charge was made at a confer
ence between Judge Hutton and thu
barrow attorneys and it was freely
predicted that a substantiation of the
charge would mean a mis-trial in the
! famous case.
! Although much secrecy was main
tanned concerning the conference,
/ Hutton admitted a serious situation
| had arisen. He said there probably
would be another conference later
| The Judge expressed the belief, now
ever, that some way would be found to
proceed with the trial.
When the illness of Juror LeavItt
was reported Monday attorneys for the
or, A. M. Blakslee, be installed as q
regular juror. District Attorney Fred
eriCks protested.
1t was learned that when the re
quest by the defense was made, Judge
Hutton was placed in possession Of
certain alleged facts which caused hin
10 send for a physician of his owr
choosing to examine Jeavitt.
According to the defenses attorne!
this physician found no symptoms o
appendicitis. the ailmant with which
the juror was said to be suffering.
Further information was said L
have been given Judge Hutton TO the Ell
.ect that Juror Leavitt's opinions re
Sarding the guilt or innocence of Oar
row had been so freely discussed a
his home prior to his taxing a plac
on the jury that they became a mat
ter OF common report among hi
neighbors.
For this reason attorneys for the dc
Tense are said to have asserted tina
Leavitt feigned illness for the purpos
OF being excused from the jury.
Under the law the alternate juro
can be used only in the even. OF tn
death or illness OF regular juror, an
because Of this provision the defens
is said to have sought TO haze Lcay
tits place filed without making loI
NAL charges against him.
Should the court decline to ex>us
Leavitt a mis-trial may result befor
the case goes to the jury.
