JURY; RESERVE
2OCHALLENGE
Bitter Contest Not Ended
and Some of the Panel May
Yet BE Removed.
EARLY
At MORNING SESSION

Ios'Ns
intelligence were in the jury box OF the
United states District Court At the
close OF the second day Of the trial of
che eleven New Haven men yesterday
afternoon.
This does not mean that the Jury Il
complete. The defence and the prosecu-
tion have not yet exhausted their per-
emptory challenges. which means that
either side may send a nan out OF the
box without giving a reason. The de-
fence. which did use one OF It's chal-
ienges. has ten re~maining-one for each
of the defendants. The Government has
the same number. As Special Assistant
Attorney-General Bats exercised one OF
his peremptorv challenges. that leaves
twenty available In all.
The day was taken up entirely with
the work Of examining the men called
as to b!as-whether they were preju-
diced on one side or the other. Ten or
twelve men went out during this ordeal,
and the majority OF them because they
had a prejudice against the way In
which the sherman antitrust Law has
been enforced.
The temporary twelve in the box are:
