 "Inasmuch as the jury was not locked up we were employed to place it under surveillance for their, tthe defenses) protection" He said, Nothing that was done in this case by OUT men was at all improper. We are a detective agency licensed and bonded to make investigations and have perfect right to investigate a juror.
 Our operatives were sent back whenever it was foud that any of the jurors did not need shadoWing. Our men did not shadow Robert c. Flora, juror number six because vo had not gotten to him on the list
 No Connection With Matter
 Burns reiterated that he knew nothing of the investigation of the activities of his operatives until the mistrial was order and that he had no connection with the matter in any way. He also said that he did not have a dollar invested in the Burns agency.
 Several of the operatives, who, the records show referred to w. J. B." in some of their reports Corrobo- rated his statement saying that the reports were ''miscopied, in the dis trict attorneys office" Their reports they said showed that they had been made to "W. S. B." Burns son.
 Charles G. Buddy, in charge of the investigation of the jurors said that if w. J. B. appeared in any report, 1t was q clerical error
 Burns said his affidavit was filed with the court, to be entered as a matter of record at the discretion of the court.
