Venire OF so. drawn for the Glin-
nan trial, when the case was ad-
journed at noon, Tuesday, Judge
Phelan ordered tho jury commits
sion to meet In the afternoon and
draw SO more names from the 100
left In the box. The so will be
ordered to report for examination,
Thursday morning. There will be
no session Of the Gilman trial,
Wednesday.
Attorney James Mcnamara made
vigorous protest. when the Gilman
case was re-opened in Judge Phelan' q
court. Tuesday morning. against q
story in morning paper. in which
Prosecutor Shepherd Is quoted as say
ing. Monday evening:
1T Is quite evident that some q.
the jurors drawn today had been
coached in some way to say that they
had no opinion
Il don't desire TO interfere with the
personal prerogative OF the prosecute
ing attorney TO have himself inter
viewed by the papers," Mr.. Mcnamara
began, sarcastically. But the charge
that Jurors have been coached implies
two things. II implies that the men
called to serve here are corrupt and
have perjured themselves in order to
assist the defense. II also implies that
someone connected with the defense
has been coaching them. l don't be-
lieve the prosecuting attorney should
be allowed to run around loose talk
ing like that"
II object to such talk before the
jury" cried Prosecutor Shepherd.
1t is the duty of the prosecuting at
I'torney, IL he believes such things.
continued Mr.. Mcnamara, In louder
tone. ito call the attention OF the
court to them and ask for an investi
cation. To make such public state
ment Is utterly and absolutely Inn
proper"
II don't know" began Judge Phelan
that l could infer from the article
even II had read 1t. that anyone con
nected with the Gilman case"
Who else would have coached
them?" broke in Nj, Mcnamara.
"Tll read the article said tn(
court.
ITS mighty unfortunate occur
rencsif the prosecuting attorney SAID
such thing" went on Mr. Mcnamara
holly.
Prosecutor Shepherd was stung.
"Your honor has excused a juror
summoned on Saturday and quizzed on
Tuesday, who was coached on the In
tervening Sunday In his own sister
house-he admitted it," said the pros
ecutor. And that isn't all. IL neces
sary. I'll arrest the guilty parties.
Then why don't your asked Mr.
Mcnamara
"I'll do II when get ready" Mr.
Shepherd shouted
You ought to tell the court, In
stead OF making innuendoes," retorted
Mr.. Mcnamara.
Both lawyers were shouting at eact
other across the table, talking at once
Judge Phelan broke through the up
road. He had been reading the paper
IL certainly acquit you and your az
sociate. Mr.. McNamara." he said.
80 do l." said Mr.. Shepherd. cool
ing OF.
THE examination Of the talesmet
certainly relieves the counsel for thu
defense. for IL he had coached them
they would have made better job o.
their answers said Judge Phelan
with q laugh This Is tempest in Z
teapot"
Mr.. Mcnamara smiled. bowed. ant
