entered the same objections that they
made In July to the amendment OF

tons.
Twenty veniremen were excused
for cause before the end Of the ses-

boz.
David Lester. q sailor, living ut No.

to have some chance as q juror. a.
he was sailing when the aldermen
were arrested. and also during lass
summer. But even ne heard the case
discussed aboard ship, and had form
ed an opinion.
That the jury commission had used
the names Of saloonkeepers was re-
yealed when Julius Barron, No. 1851
rort-st west, In Aid. Glinnan's own
ward, said that he keeps q saloon. He
admitted having an opinion. Otto o.
Brandes, No. $50 vinewood-ave., said
that he works In q saloon. He also
had an opinion.
Gregory j. Ruedisueli. No. 1851
Sheridan-ave.. was drawn as Gregory
Ruedisdale. He said that a cousin had
changed hts name to Ruedisdale.
There was some discussion as to
whether the spelling of the name in
validated Ruedisuelis summons, and
the matter was still In allegiance when
court adjourned.
Prosecutor Shepherd is still doubt
full about moving change OF venue.
July was hot day" he said. as
he looked through the window al the
snow. IL little thought then that I'd
still be engaged In this case In De
cember. I've got a good notion now
to run through another batch OF
names. TO see II We can't somehow
