the enthusiastic spirit of admiration
displayed by the thousands who had
watched and waited long for his COM
ing. Driving in an open car, Colonel
Lindbergh went by way of the Avenida
Colon to the American legation.
Countless streamers tIoated in the air
in his honor Bogotas principal
streets were crowded by 100000 per-
sons, and an escort of cavalry and a
thousand or more automobiles helped
to make the parade notable one.
The scene at the flying field was
truly magnificent one, made SO not
alone by the cheering thousand and
the silver plane sweeping in from the
hills, but by the grandeur of the
mountains bathed in sunshine
After making circuit of the city
and on his return to the flying field,
Lindbergh circled it twice and alighted
at the extreme edge to the accom-
paniment of automobile horns, shouts
and cheers, flying hats and waving
handkerchiefs. The band struck up
the American national anthem, which
was followed by that of Colombia,
Stepping from his plane, Lindbergh
was picked up by some of the crowd
and carried to the place of honor
where the special committee awaited
him. This was composed of repre-
sentatives of the foreign and war min
istries and the American colony. Gen.
Reeves Luna, secretary of the minis
try of war, extended the greeting in
behalf of the nation.
The party then proceeded to the
city, and showers of flowers and
streamers fell on the airman and
the car in which he rode from the
balconies fhouses in the narrow
streets. Colonel .Lindbergh sat well
back on the folded top of the motor
car. Acknowledging constant applause.

The defense introduced an applica-

which he said McNIullin made in
1925.
The witness declared it was not in
his handwriting, denying that finger
prints on it were his. Defense coun-
sci, seeking to prove McMullin had
testified falsely, asked him if he would
agree to be finger printed. He said
he would, but Gordon objected so
vigorously that the defense asking
that McMullin be finger printed in
court requested the court to instruct
the witness that the district attorney
had nothing to say about it. The
court refused to order that the prints
be taken.
After court had adjourned, Gordon,

argument when the trial is resumed
next week.
Most of the. jurors so far accepted
are residents of Los Angeles. Two
or three gave addresses in suburban
districts All three of the women
Jurors gave their occupations as
housewives. Six of the male jurors
and two of the women were gray
haired. creating courtroom picture
of age sitting in Judgment over youth.
This was enhanced on the one hand
by the stern -visaged and white haired
jurist from Mariposa county, and on
the other hand by the rather boyish
faced attorneys battling for the life
of the youth Hickman.
Hickman started the day by turn
ing the program of his legal advisors
inside out.
Following the trial of their clients
insanity plea, they had told him
he would not be called to the wit
ness box. In an ante-court con-
ference the prisoner informed his
attorneys that he would take the
stand, whether they liked it or not
and tell his story of the killing Of
Marian Parker
Jerome Walsh and Richard Canti1-
lon, of defense counsel told Hickman
his decision would seriously injure
their plans in his behalf, but the
confessed killer defied them to keep
him from telling his story under
oath.
Judge Trabucco signalized the
opening of today's session of the trial
with the announcement that he
expected counsel to fill the jury box
and be able to start taking evidence
next Monday.
During the morning session Hick
man, for the first time, displayed
enough interest in the proceedings
to prompt him to communicate with
his attorneys in court. He whispered
brief question to Attorney Cantillon
while talesman was being examined
and received a one word reply, Dur
ing the remainder of the day he
spasmodically watched the prospective
jurors, ran his eyes ever the specta
tors, or, the greater part of the time,
stared at the back of his chief
counsel, Jerome Walsh.
Defense counsel again today drew
from the bench repeated orders to
speed up the examination of tales
men. On several occasions the judge
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-28

took the Interrogation out of their
hands and himself shot staccato
queries at the men and women in
the jury box.
The procedure of the defense was
in striking contrast to that of the
prosecution.
District Attorney Asa Keyes and
his assistant. Forrest Murray. seemed
content to lean back in their chairs
and, except at rare intervals, permit
the defense or the court to inter-
rogate the talesmen.
Of thrills there we're virtually none
throughout the day and the crowd
of spectators, among whom was a
sprinkling of motion picture actresses
had to be, content with the level
tones of lawyers questioning talesmen,
punctuated by the staccato inter-
jections of Judge Trabucco.
At the afternoon session, it was
evident that the drab legal proceed :
ing was more interesting to women
than men. More than half of those
in the spectators section, which was
not nearly filled, were members of
the gentler sex.
The deleting power Of the defense
challenges struck heavily at the
tentative women jurors as the after
noon wore on. Others were accepted,
however, and the proportion of two
men to one woman carried along.
One man was seated despite the
fact that he admitted being friend
of Cantillon No objection came from
the state after a question or two had
assured Keyes that the talesman
would forget his friendship for the
defender in the light of fair judgment
AS the allotted number of legal
mandates for defense and prosecution
dwindled the hour for usual ad-
journment was disregarded and the
selection process continued, spurred
on by the business like jurist who
permitted no untoward delay.
Though it seemed that the defense
intended using every challenge at
its command-20-in the process OF
wedding out the jurors, Walsh sud-
denly announced after the 18th had
been utilized that the men and
women in the box were satisfactory
to his client.
