secretaries busy every day, replying

Crowd Barred Out.

A large crowd OF the curious besieged
the Criminal Courts Building in hope that
they would gain entrance TO the court
room. The corridors had been fenced off
by benches some distance from the en-
trance 10 the courtroom. in either direc
ton, and policemen stationed outside kept
the cro-d well beyond the benches. No
one was allowed TO enter the courtroom,
outside of those directly interested in the
case, except the talesmen on the panel
and the reporters.
Twenty eight telesmen were examined
before the sixth juror was obtained. He

stand and testify as to the accuracy OF
the statement Mr.. Cochran was quoted as
having made.
When the matter was brought to the at
tention of District Attorney Whitman he
declined TO discuss It. He refused to say
whether he intended making such a mo-
ton to-day. Mr.. Cochran was not in court
yesterday.
The work of getting the jury dragged
yesterday. With five jurors in the box
when court opened. there were only six
when Justice Seabury adjourned at p m.
after the second hundred talesmen Of
the special panel had been exhausted.
Two Jurors were actually secured. how
ever. as one of the first five men was ex-
cused by the court. Eighty-one talesmen
had been examined during the day.
An additional hundred talesmen were
drawn after the adjournment of court to
preclude the possibility of exhaustng the
hundred remaining on the original panel
OF 800 The remaining hundred on the
panel will report at the opening Of court
at 1890 o'clock. and the additional hun
dred have been notified TO appear at 2
y. IN. Inc duuluOndl men were drawn on
request OF the District Attorney.
Mr.. Whitman said that he believed the
other six jurors would be secured to-day
Justice Seabury may hold half day ses-
sion tomorrow and the taking OF testi-
mony begin.
The announcement at the opening Of the
afternoon session by Justice Seabury that
William b. Dalton. juror No ?, had been
excused created something Of a sensation.
There was considerable speculation as 10
the reason for the withdrawal OF the
juror. Justice seabury and District At
torney Whitman would not discuss the
matter afterward.
Dalton was in his seat during the morn
ing session. His scat was empty at the
opening OF the afternoon session. and as
soon as Justice Seabury went on the
bench he said:

Most Of the prisoners examined during
the investigation said that Becke, S name
headed the list, but in that case 1t was
torn off to make it appear that he was
not connected with the scheme
There has been n general feeling OF dis-
satisfaction among the prisoners regard
ing the new plan. and it was not difflcult
TO obtain the $40 signatures. The oriei-
nal petition was then torn on ahu'
through lawyers who came to the Tomps
to confer with their clients. 1t was pos
sible TO have another petition, composed,
according TO Miss Davis, by Becker and
Musica, typewriter.
Becker denied yesterday in court that
he had had anything to do with the plot.
When told that Miss Davis accused MN
Of being the arch conspirator, he said:
well. can't help what Miss DAVIS
SAYS. can't stop her from saying what
ever she pleases."
Mrs Becker characterized the whole
thing as being an infamous lie. The
motive for ascrbing it to my husband Is
only too apparent" she said

WANT PROSECUTORS
CURBED BY THE LAW
Untermyer DenOunces Try
ing Cases in Press Be-
fore Day in Court.

Members of the New York County Law
yers' Association Who met last night in
the Hotel Aston, applarded Samuel Inter
myer when he excoriated public prosecu-
tors for the "scandalous practice" OF try
ing their cases in the newspapers in ad-
vance of trial
Mr.. Untermyer, who is chairman OF the
committee on legislation, made all his ref
erences to those guilty of such practices
in the plural. He mentioned no names
nor did he refer to any case by name.
After making his report in the forepart Of
which was his denunciation of such meth
DDS and his recommendation that legis-
lation be passed to prevent them, he sat
down Just behind Bourke Cochran, Beck
er's counsel, amid burst of applause.
1.-THE committee" said Mr.. Untermyer
has invited the attention Of the board
Of directors to the present scandalous
practices of trying in the newspapers in
advance of trial by the court cases that
are of public interest and importance.
suggest in that connection that from the
time a case gets into the courts the law
rigidly prohibit all comments and re-
account of the proceedings in open court
which is similar to the practice prevailing
in other civilized countries.
The worst offenders against the adj
ministration of justice In this connection
are our public prosecutors There Is no
longer a vestige of secrecy in the pro-
ceed:ngs before grand juries in cases OF
public interest. Not only is the testi-
nlony Of witnesses disclosed in the public
prints and often distorted, but their ex-
pected testimony on the eve OF their ap-
peorance before the grand jury is set
forth from the point OF view OF the pub
lie prosecutor. The obvious result OF
these publicity campaigns is to poison the
public mind and render difficult the Sc
curing Of impartial juries."
Mr.. Untermyer said that he intended 10
invite the cooperation Of the respect
able newspapers" in seeking legislation
to correct this abuse There was round
OF applause when he finished and the re-
port was adopted without a dissenting
vote. Mr.. Untermyers seat was Just be

news designed to prejudice the case
