ing prejudice against Gilman could
be cleaned from his testimony. As

jurisdiction only over city cases.
He did suggest some names for
the recorders jury. however, particu-
arly one whom his brother, liquor

This name was not brought into the
testimony and Prochaska was unable
10 say what the business of the man
may have been. He knew, however,
that the suggested man was a strong
friend OF his brother. and for that
reason thought he may have been a

Commissioner Schmied to whom
