mounted the bench at 10 o'clock this
morning the corridors of the court
house were crowded. Men in work
ing clothes rubbed elbows with fash
ionably dressed women, who drove
to the court house in their limousines
as all sought seats in the court room.
Mrs. Rhinelander, the defendant,
walked quietly into the court room
ten minutes before Justice Nor
schauser appeared. She appeared the
least concerned of all in the court
room.
Accompanying her was Miss Mary
Christmas Niece, clerk in the New
Rochelle office of Judge Samuel
Swinburne, associate counsel for the
defendant. .
Mrs. Rhinelander, woman of
medium stature, selected a seat at
the end of the counsel table between
Judge Swinburne and Lee Parsons
! Davis, her chief counsel.
She was dressed in atight-tittlng
tan gown, black silk stockings and
black pumps, and cloth coat trim
med with gray fox fur and oderned
with gardenla.
Seaten in the spectators section
of the court were her sister, Mrs.
Robert Brooks, and the latter's husr
band, butler.
While the opposing attorneys
agreed to examine twelve of the
panel of 120 talesman at once, de-
spite the fact that young Rhinelander
had not appeared, Mrs. Rhinelander
smiled broadly. In the rear OF the
court room about score OF negroes
whispered audibly and smiled as the
Italesmen were questioned.
Twelve of the veniremen took
their seats in the jury box and were
asked by Judge Mills:
"Is it not apparent that there is a
visible trace of negro blood in this
defendant" r.,
Mr.. Davis jumped to his feet. 81
object to any such statement to the
Jury at this time," he said.
Trial Likely To Be Long.
Mills told the talesmon that the
trial would probably be long and
might last until next week. He asked
IL any OIL CneH Hdu Iedu diCSCo III
terviews with Mrs. Rhinelander in
which she was quoted as saying she
was of 'pure English stock"
Two of the men said they had seen
the statement, but on further ques-
/, tioning said they did not believe it.
Attorney Davis then took the pros
pective jurymen in hand and said,
"When talesmen come into the
courtroom like to assume that they
are honest and on the level"
He then asked each individual
Juror if he would be fair and square
with the defendant and on obtaining
affirmative replies from each one, sat
down.
The Jury All Married.
The jurymen selected, all of whom
are married, were:
Clarence E. Pietsch, merchant
Greenburgh, foreman.
Michael Plunkett, clerk, White
Plains.

"This son of wealth enters a home
to get a girl, and it is not enough
that he gets her, but because papa
becomes cross he must drag her IN
but her whole family. He even
| the slime as well, crush not her alone,
dragged Mrs. Jones in"
| History of the Jones Family.
Mr.. Davis reviewed the Jones
! family history, showing that in Eng
land there was not the same feeling
as to miscegenation thatq there,ls IN
this country. Mrs. Jones, he said,
was a housemaid and her husband
the coachman in a family in Lei
cester, and after they married they
came to this country, where Jones
was naturalized. Two sons were
born, but died, and then Emily, now
married to Robert Brooks, butler;
| Alice and Grace, ow married to an
Italian, were born. Alice, he said,
was working as housemaId when
she met Rhinelander. Instead Of the
girl pursuing Rhinelander, he pur-
sued her, said Mr.. Davis, and when
his father sent him on a cruise to
Havana and through the Panama
Canal, he wrote constantly to her,
begging her to be true to him.
"He knew what the Jones family
was" the lawyer continued. IF ne
didn't he was not suffering from
mental weakness but from blindness.
The Brooks's have baby. | won't
bring the baby into court in case OF
this kind, but l will show you pic
ture of it. We will show you that
Rhinelander made himself as much
at home as if he had always been
there. He was introduced to Mr.
Brooks, he called him Robert and
asked Robert to call him Leonard
He drank wine at the Jones's table
He took a fancy to Roberta and used
to play with her. Had no suspicion
there was colored blood in the fam
ily! He must have been blind.
"He put Jones out of his bed and
Jones had to sleep in little cooped
up room and the only way to it was
through the room where this de-
scendant of the Huguenots slept. He
knew as much about Alive as she
did herself"
Rhinelander was not so mentally
deficient that he didn't know what he
was doing, Mr. Davis said, and when
he was in school in Arizona he was
mentally alert enough to edit the
school paper and get out the year
book.
81 am not going to read NASTY
letters for the edification of the
court room and the press, but if they
want to start throwing slime I'll lick
this boy with his own letters" the
lawyer said. eff they start calling
this girl black in that way, referring
to her character, I'll show it is the
pot calling the kettle black"

Ex-Justice Mills opened his case
by putting in evidence naturalization
papers and birth certificates to show
that Jones is a colored man, and, al

After they were seated, court adj
iourned until l o'clock in order to
give Judge Mills an opportunity to
have Rhinelander in court.
When court reconvened after adj
journment, Rhinelander was still
absent.
Judge Mills explained that he had
told Rhinelander to be in attendance
at the afternoon session of the court
but that the latter had probably
figured court would not reconvene
until o'clock.
Mr.. Davis declined to proceed until
Rhinelander arrived and lawyers anc

Then Rhinelander walked in
