McManus-R Rothstein trial may be
ditched as a political expedient. The
"illness" of a. juror is the reason
given for a possible break of the
proceedings. Mayor Walker is un-
derstood to have staged the trial as
a part of his election campaign.
Fear of revealing too much in the
police department can account for a
good deal.
