MCGEE GETS SEVERANCE

The ernpaneling OF a Jury to try Ed
ward NJ. Fuller. one of the partners of
the bankrupt brokerage firm Of E. NJ
Fuller & Co. of SO Broad street, was
completed yesterday in the Court of
General Sessions. It was announced by
the attorney for William #. McGee
Fuller's partner, that a severance had
not stand trial with his partner but
would be tried when Eullers trial was
concluded.
To-day the case win be outlined to
tho Jurors by Nelson Olcott, Assistant
District Attorney. The State will con-
tinue its case against the defendant.
Judge Robert s. Johnstone, presiding
yesterday, cautioned the jurors TO have
nothing to say about the case and not
to read anything about It or to listen
to or discuss any phase outside the
courtroom. even among themselves.
Until the matter had been presented
formally.
The twelve selected 20 try the case of
tho bankrupt broker who failed for
nearly s5,eoo.oeo several months ago

Wolff. Otto Silbernan, William Ober-
deick, George A. Bliss, Henry Hahn,
Louis Baer, Lyle A. Bishop, William

nedy and Robert e. Raphael. Their oc-
cupatfons and addresses were not made

only man selected last week. The other
eleven were picked yesterday after con-
siderable challenging by William j.
f'alion and Eugene f. MCGEE, counsel
for the defendant.
Virtually every sort of question re-
garding their opinion on stock and bond
transactions and the extent to which
they had read of the Fuller failure were
used and exhausted by the deteuse
counsel before the jurors were selected
talesmen. Each was asked il he had
ever had accounts with brokerage
houses and whether he ever had made
or lost money through stock specula-
ton. There was a long list of other
challenges. Many replied that they had
formed opinions from the newspaper
accounts. and were therefore excused
The specific charge against RULER is
that he bucketed stock order received
from F. f. Link, customer in Tennes-
see, last May. The order was for fifty
shares OF Sinclair Consolidated OIL. It
is charged that Fuller did not fill the
order. but kept the purchase price of
s1,75.750. William +. McGee, his part
ner, is charged with bucl1eting on the
Fuller Indictment and on twelve other
indictments found against them. He
will go to trial at the conclusion of the
Fuller case.
