II there is any long delay in the trial
OF the case because Of trouble in get
ting suitable jury men it will be
caused by the defense
The prosecution, said Prosecutor
Frazer Tuesday morning, would have
been wiling 10 try the case before the
first twelve men that we're put into the
Jury box"
This attitude on the part OF the state
is due TO the resources OF that side I'm
looking mp the records OF jury men be-
fore they are brought in says james
B Mcnamara, attorney for the de-
fer Sc.
We do not wish 20 spend too much
time IN the examination OF jury men"
said Mr. Mcnamara. but we have no
way Of finding what men are biassed
except by asking them direct ques.
TORS In court To protect ourselves
we must ask good many questions
but they are all asked in good faith
and not for the purpose OF holding UP
the trial"
