night.
The IL men who occupied the jury
box today and submitted to exhaus-
tive Interrogation by counsel for both
sides are still subject to challenge
for cause, and also to peremptory
challenge.
Elliott G. Stevenson, counsel for
the defendant, and Attorneys Alfred
J. Murphy and Alfred Lucking, for
Mr.. Ford, were in many clashes dur
ing the day over the lines Of examina-
ton. Mr.. Lucking accused Mr.. Stew
enson of seeking to get before the
talesmen arguments for military pre-
paredness which Mr.. Lucking said
Mr.. Stevenson knew could not be
brought in as evidence later
While Mr.. Stevenson was defining
the term anarchist" as he said the
term was applied in the Tribune to
Mr.. Ford, meaning one who spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
attempting to influence the public
and congress against preparedness,
and thus weakening the government
to the point Of anarchy, Mr.. Lucking
interrupted hotly:
1--WE object. your honor. Why, on
that basis, half the United States
senate is anarchistic. We object also
to the ASSUMPTION that the Tribune
can create definitions Of words such
as anarchy. We decline to accept the
Tribune as standard for definitions"

BRAKEMAN KILLED
AT FOREST CITY

Forrest City, May 13.-M. L.
Hayes, aged about 80, of Paragould,
brakeman for the Missouri Pacific
railroad, was killed in the yards
here this morning.
Extra northbound freight No. 16,
uopn which Hayes was working was
doubling the hill from the south and
the first cut had been left on the
main line at Rosine.

balance in climbing upon the en-
CINE. He fell behind the tender and
under the wheels which cut his body
in half.
The accident was not discovered
until the train crew had returned with
the rear end of the train, when the
upper part of Hayes body was found
about so feet away from the lower
limbs.
