voiced his protest against the dock,
but was overruled by Judge Hough.
At the counsel's table sat the elder
son, Leonard, who served as chief
mate Of the Puaka, and is under in
dictment charged with matreating the
crew.
A lively incident occurred during ex-
animation of the prospective jurors.
Edward O. Hovey, curator in the geo.
logical section of the Museum Of Nat
ural History, was being challenged by
Mr. Malone, and in response to ques-
tions told Of his many voyages both in
steam and sailing ships.
As he told his story the two Peder-
sens in the dock leaned forward with
keen interest. Hovey told how in 1915
he was on three-masted schooner
locked in the ice off the coast of
Greenland, where he had gone as a
member of a relief expedition.
Did you have any trouble with the
captain? ?" asked Mr.. Malone
YES replied Hovey, and then con-
tinuing said: at was difference of
opinion between the captain and my
self as to responsibility for staying up
there year"
At this moent Benjamin A. Mathews,
Assistant District Attorney, sprang to
his feet and asked:
Did that lead to an argument, or
use of force ?"
When the juror replied in the mega
tive the incident ended, and he was
accepted
Each prospective juror was asked
whether he had ever been to sea,
whether he was opposed to capital
punishment, and whether he would
place as much credence on the testi-
mony of seaman as to any other
witness. A foreshadowing of the de-
fence was given in the questions Of
Mr.. Malone, who closely questioned the
jurors regarding their views on union
