FIVE MOONEY JURORS
REMAIN TO BE SWORN
Judge Refuses to Dismiss
Because of Irregularity.

San Francisco. May 31.-Superior
Judge Emmett Seawell, refused late
today to summarily discharge II
jurors sworn to try Mrs. Rena
Mooney for the bomb murders of last
July. Dismissal of the entire panel
had been demanded by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Louis Ferrar, follow
ing his charges that Daniel Kelly, one
of the Jurors, had been drawn irreg-
ularly.
The court excused Kelly on the
grounds of illness and restored to the
defense and prosecution their original
challenges of 20 and 10, respectively
Ferrari, prosecuting for the state, i'm
mediately challenged Thomas Camp, a
saloonkeeper. and Paul Postler, jour-
neyman baker, the only labor union
man on the panel. The defense chal-
lenged Otto r. Hildebrecht. an in
terror furnisher. Another juror was
excused by consent, leaving seven
sworn men in the box.
In announcing his decision following
an open court investigation of tho
charges of irregularity, Judge Seawel
said:
There have been unquestionable
Irregularities. This juror, Kelly, is
improperly in the box l do not ac-
cuse him or any one because l have
not received sufficient information or
the subject to suspect any person Of
Willful misconduct in this matter. Blu
in the interest of justice, will excuse
Kelly and allow both sides to exercise
their original number of challenges.
Attorneys for the defense declared
| the investigation had indicated then
of any direct or implied suspicion con
corning the manner in which Kelly
| name got in the jury box, when it wa
not contained on the official list o
vcniremen. The prosecution main
| tanned it had accomplished it's pur
pose in exposing the irregularity.
t'crrari intimated that the situation
which made it possible for Kelly
name to be in the box would be takCi
! to the grand jury for investigation.
Judge Scawell announced that h
| personally would supervise the draw
| ing of the panel of so veniremcn or
| dcrcd into court for tomorrow morn
ing.

BITTERLY CONDEMNS
FRENCH SOCIALISTS

Paris, May 3l.-The decision of the
National Council of the French So
calist party to send delegates to the
coming Socialist conference at Stock
holm is strongly condemned by the
Temps, which declares in an article
today:
The route to Stockholm Is the route
to a diplomatic Sedan. France cannot
permit the delegates to risk in this add
venture it's prestige and morals. II
owes 1t to itself to disavow them. In
time of war. when ii is IL question of
saving French lives and liberating
French territory, peoples should not be
too tolerant.
The Stockholm delegates have not
yet comprehended that the German
Socialist democracy is incapable of
giving the slightest guarante of peace
So long as the army OF William the
Second is not conscious of having been
Vanquished'

1t is no exaggeration to
say that the graceful con-

Style 8 cannot be sur
passed. Dainty, chaste and
characterized by an air of
quality and refinement

And then the piano itself,

excellence Of materials and

We would advise that

Slept at Wheel
A. e. Schaff. Of Worthwhile, is now
ready to dispute anyone who says that
driving a car alone at night does not
cause a species of hypnosis; in fact,
he is ready to excuse any driver who
has an accident late at night, particu-
ldTly IL ne DC OTlVlHS dlOnc.+ he ndu
attended a meeting in Washington and
returned by way of New Milford, ac-
companied by Rev. J. F. Plumb, de-
posting the latter at the rectory about
1880 a. m. Mr.. Schaff then continued
up the state road without incident un-
til suddenly the wall at Walter Leav- |
ensworth's farm appeared directly in
his path. Before. he could turn the
car, it crashed into the wall and turn
ed turtle, pinning him underneath.
Fortunately the top saved him from
injury, and he was able to-, craw lout
and proceed the other mile to his
home afoot. The windshield was
smashed, but otherwise the car was
uninjured. In speaking of the acct
dent the next night, Mr.. Schaff was
certain that the monotonous hum of
the engine and smooth travelling had
lulled him into a slight doze. County
Agent Manchester, who heard Mr..
Schaff relating the incident, had a
similar experience a few weeks ago.
He had returned from a farm bureau
meeting, when just after he struck

wall. He had travelled about mile
in doze, but fortunately did not have
any accident.
