DISTRICT COURT

After court adjourned Monday
forenoon, information cane to
Judge Curler, prosecuting attorney
in the Jack Maher case, thss Albert
Street, the last juror passed, had
not answered the quest. rs asked
him on examination truthfully and
that he was disqualified from
sitting as a juror.
When court convened in the
afternoon, Judge Curler brought
up the matter in the presence of
the jury. and moved for an in
vestigation. On objection of the
defense, the jury was excused.
After some argument, Judge
Somers granted the motion and
court adjourned unit 4 O'Clock.
On the convening of court after
the recess, the attorneys for the
defense stated they were not ready
to proceed and a further recess
was taken until 1880 o'clock.
When court convened at 1870
o'clock Judge Curler stated that it
was not proper to have the pro-
ceedings in presence of tie other
eleven jurors. Judge Somers
started to excuse the eleven jurors
when Attorney ChristianHon OBJ
jected to the jury separating.
The objection was overruled and
the defense excepted to the ruling.
The eleven jurors we're then
taken to the jury room by Deputies
ElmOre and Mcnamara.
Judge Curler then stated TO the
court that Juror Street is now. and
has been since the last election,
so biased and p~rejudic,d against
the anti-gambling law that he can
not act as an impartial juror and
cannot render an impartial verdict.
That while he swore under ex-
animation that he was in favor of
the law he was really opposed to
the law and had been opposed to
the law since its passage. That
he stated this morning on tire train
while coming to Elko that he would
not convict a person for violating
the law.
The defense ojected to the pro-
ceedings and the court ~overruled
the election. An exception was
taken to the ruling by the defense.
Constable Happier was Il en- cal
led and sworn. He testified that
during the last campaign h. heard
Street express himself against As.
semblymar Mcintosh and other leg
islators for passing the law and
had heard him apply = vile epithet
TO Mcintosh for introducing the
bill. He had heard Street say
that something like thirty or forty
thousand dollars had been raised
TO defeat every legislator who had
voted for the bill and that all Of
them would be defeated.
On cro,s-exaimnation he said
that he had told District Attorney
Dysart Of what he had testified
to during the examination Of
Street. THAI Dysart had called
him out Of the court room and
asked him about Street. Had told
Dysart of what he knew before
