of the Pepper Fisher forces that there
would be crooked work for Ware in
his stronghold Philadelphia, and told
the committee that "the debauchery
of votes is unknown in Pennsylvania. .
There is no such thing as buying
votes" he added.
His recital was interspersed with
discussions of prohibition, sharp jabs
at the Pepper and Mellon forces and
number of side witticisms which
brought frequent laughter from the
committee and the spectators who
for the first time filled the hearing
room
Discussion of the disclosures of the
campaign spread from the committee
room to both the senate and house
with Secretary Mellon coming in for
democratic attacks in both houses on
the basis of his statements of yes
terday that such expenditures as were
made in Pennsylvania were essential
under the prevailing system.
After advert;ng to his statement,
Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan-
sas reintroduced the celebrated reso-
| luton for the seating of Truman II.

the messages of felicitation and words
of good cheer.
When the space between the rail-
ing and the judges dias was cleared
Judge Armijo, declared:
Jurors in case No. 6122, please
answer as your names are called"
Clerk L. r. Baca, began intoning
the names. J. 7. Morrow was the
first man called to the box.
your honor, please, this man is Il
witness for the Defense" declared
Vaught.
without any attention Morrow was
seated and II other men called to
the boz. All, with the exception of
Juror No. II were Americans who
speak Spanish. The twelfth juror,
A. w. Holm, was English speaking.
When the IL men were in the box
they were ordered to stand. The
clerk then approached the jury box
and was Joined Immediately in front
Of it by Minor Rudolph of Mora
county, official interpreter for the
court. Clerk Baca read the oath in
English. Morrow and Holm swore
to it. Rudolph then in Spanish re
peated the oath and the other ten
members of the jury were sworn.
District Attorney Chester H. f..
Hunker then arose and walked from
his seat at the counsel table beside
Magee and joined Rudolph and started
the ordeal of questioning and qualify
ing the ~ men in the jury box. His
questions propounded in English and
interpreted and translated sby Rudolph
dealt exclusively with the acquaint-
ance, friendship with Magee or knowl-
edge of the facts of the case. All
of the prospective jurors vehemently
denied any knowledge of the facts
of the case. All denied ever having
read anything of it at any time.
Likewise all denied knowing Magee
or Lasseter. The jury was passed for
cause by the prosecutor at $40
o'clock
Vaught, acting as chief counsel for
the albuquerque editor, then took up
the examination of the jurors.
The second question propounded by
Vaught to the first juror gave the
first intimation to the crowded court
room as to what would be the de-
Tense or basis of the defense of
Magee.
The information filed against Magee
charged him with murder in the first
degree in connection with the STAY
ing of Lasseter. The affidavit of
| verification attached to the informa-
ton and signed by District Attorney
Hunker, merely charges manslaught-
er. The prosecutor declares Magee
merely is on trial for manslaughter
while defense counsel are unanimous
in their declarations that Magee is
facing a charge of murder in the
first degree This question was dis
cussed somewhat at length by OPP
posing counsel during the time i'm
mediately prior to the beginning OF
the trial and although no definite
announcement was made at the outset
of the trial, the fact that the prose
cutor agreed to granting the defense
~ peremptory challenges showed
murder was the basis of the charge
against the defendant.
The central figure in a murde,
trial, the like of which has not been
tried in the district court here in
recent years, Magee, a smile on his
countenance, sat throughout the Iona
and monotonous questioning of Amer
leans who speak Spanish, as his coun-
sci and attorneys for the state bat
tied for the advantage.

Jury Chosen
To Try Magee
CONTINUED from Page one)

Of Interpreter Rudolph, administered
the oath and the jury that will pass
on the guilt or innocence of Carl
Magee, for years the storm center
of New Mexicos political life, was
in the box. Three bailiffs then were
called to the bar of the court and
were sworn and the jury was placed
in their custody.
Although the court house is with
out accommodation for the keeping
of the Jury over night, they viii be
taken to the home of one or more
of the deputy sheriffs of San Miguel
county and there kept until 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
In adjourning court Judge Armijo
adjourned it until 1880 tonight, but
he later explained it was merely for
the purpose of charging the grand
jury which was sworn today and
to complete additional business to
permit of uninterrupted work in the
trial of Magee.
All witness, and there are 81 OF
them for the state, were excused
until O'Clock tomorrow morning st
which time the taking of testimony
will be started. The defense counsel
tonight declined to make known the
number of witnesses they had sum-
money for the trial but it is be-
lieved they are relying on the grant
ing of an instructed verdict of ac-
quittal at the hands of the court
following the completion of the prose
cution'S case.

half The senator explained that he
mad erased the $4,000 and left
blank so that Senator Willis repub-
lican Ohio, author of the Newberry
resolution, or others on the republican
side, might fill in the figure which
they now regarded as hurtful to the
dignity of the senate and the safety
of American institutions.
This led to a lively cross-fire with
Senator Bingham, republican, Con-
recticut, declaring finally that it was
not fair to criticise a state when
the facts were not known.

dreds of dollars that go into the

secrifice of home trade and com
munity prosperity. We know of

the enforcement of the law is i'm

tering wedge which will be a step
backward and which temperance
people must not permit.
"The vets are very active in and
out of congress, especially in the
large cities, to create the impression
that the prohibition law is not being
enforced, and that conditions are
worse than in the days when the
liquor traffic was unhampered, but
feel confident that regardless Of
all their boasts the next election will
disclose that the percentage of vets
in congress will not have increased.

cent of the membership in either
branch of congress would vote for
the liberalization of the Volstead act.

VETS will have a tendency to arouse
the 'drys' in every city, town and
