 A short time later Mr. Kolctsky asked the vcnireman If he would hesitate 10 bring in 8 verdict Of not guilty If the evidence so "satisfied you?"
 The court interrupted and said that that was the other question he had had referred 10. This question as finally admitted, was have you any present prejudice for or against conviction or acquittal of the ac- cused ?"
