MI. OtweD Stricken.
Uttering a cry Of pain, A. r Otwell,
Juror in the case, brought proceedings
in the court room to an end yesterday
afternoon, when he fell over in his chair
in an unconscious condition. Mr.. Otwell
lives In Milford, Del.
Court had not been in session ten
minutes when Mr.. Otwell suffered the
attack. He and the other jurymen had
been out to dinner together and came
into the courtroom several minutes be-
fore Judge Bradford took his seat on
the bencn. Robert ID. Stockton, who
/ was on the stand when court adjourned
/ for lunch, was called to the stand and
had answered only half dozen ques-
! tiOns when the whole courtroom was
startled by a cry from the jury box and
Mr.. Otwell was seen to settle back in
his chair with his head shaking from
side 10 side, and then fall forward in
an unconscious condition. For the first
time excitement ruled In Judge Brad
fcrd's court with no effort Of restraint
on Judge Bradford's part. So surprised
were Mr.. Otwelps friends on the jury
that they made no move toward him
for several seconds. Then several sprang
out Of their chairs and loosened his
clothing, removed several chairs from
the jury box and moved the sick man
close to a window that had been thrown
open. Postofliee Inspector plummer was
in the court room at the time and adj
ministered first aid, while DR.. Willard
: 9. Springer was telephoned for.
Through the efforts OF Mr.. Plummer, Mr..
Otwel was soon revived, and was re-
moved to United States Marshal Town
sends office, where he rested ON a
couch for some time.
After treating Mr.. Otwell, DR.. Sprin-
ger advised the court that It would be
possible for him to resume his seat in
the Jury box. but he thought it would
be much better for all concerned if the
court could be adjourned for the re-
mainder of the day. Judge Bradford
Immediately adjourned court until 10
o'clock this morning. After resting III
the marshal's Office, Mr.. Otwell recov-
cred sufficiently to be taken to his
/ train, and went home to spend the
! night.
A government man said yesterday
! that he would not be surprised to
see the Kelley case last seven or eight
days. He said the government has
many more witnesses and It is large
i " a matter Of choice of how many are
used.
\ Mr.. Stockton who was on the stand
when Mr.. Otwell took sick, had testi-
fed only a short time. He said that
after making the examination of the
books he presented the matter of the
accounts to the board OF directors Of
the bank. The meeting of the board
took place IN the second story Of the
bank building and all Of the direc-
! tors we're present. After consider
, ing the question the directors sent
Z for Mr. Kelley to come up stairs and
consider the matter with them.
What was done?" asked Mr..
Nields.

At this point the witness was inter
Z rupted by Mr.. Otwell's cry.
