From Hotel Resident

dence is submitted he will ask for a
mistrial.
The man who signed the letter, al
though he said it was written by a
newspaper reporter, said that in 1t
he told the court that he had ans
wered some of the, Jurors discussing
the case and the tcredibility of the
states witness as well as opposition
to the special prosecutor.
The letter to the court was conf
Dental, said the signer, but he said
II necessary he would reduce 1t to q

nection with the case. would be sum-
moned before Justice Charles w.
Jarker and Judge Frank L. Cleary.
The letter was delivered to the
