 Adm0nished Prosecutor

Adm0nlShed Prosecutor
 Judge Inglis admonished the special prosecutor during the ques- tioning of the next to the last juror examined before the l o'clock recess, Robert T. Love, Sr., of An- sonia.
 Prosecutor Alcorn had remarked that in fairness to the juror" he should be informed as to various as- poets of the case.
 Atty. James D. c. Murray, for the defense, objected, telling the judge that this phrasing of the prosecu- tors remarks tended to inform the juror that the prosecution was fair, the defense not the same"
 The judge agreed and ordered AL corn's remark stricken from the record.
