Linda felt her heart sink with

and ehohed her. She could not
speak She was like a girl of stone
as Marcia came forward, all I'M
aware, and took Jimmy Cooper's
arm possessively. 'Everybody's
waiting for you. I'd begun to
think maybe something had hap
pened."
Jimmys lips opened. but no
sound came. Linda was turning
away, the blood pounding in her
ears. Never before In all her life
had she looked into mans eyes
and experienced that strange and
singing ecstasy, that nameless
wonder that had stolen over her
as she looked up at this man. Her
hands were shaking and her knees
felt queer but she had to get con-
troll of herself. She had to sound
natural.

especially via the radio.
She was, for a time, an editor
of the late magazine Babies
Just Babies and today writes a
daily column for the Seattle Post
lntelligencer, which is published
by her husband, John Boettiger.
During the early days of the
r oosevelt administration, her
youngest children-"Si and
"Buzzie"-were familiar figures
at the White House and in social
Washington. Her charm as a host
ess made a definite imprint on
both political and social circles in
the capital.
But the four Roosevelt sons
James, Elliott, Franklin, Jr., and
John-have each added a posy to
the Roosevelt feminine garland.
They were, in order, before their
marriages: Betty Cushing, Ruth
Googins, Ethel Dupont, and Anne
Lindsay Clark.
Mrs. James Roosevelt, daughter
of Boston's famous brain surgeon,
DR.. Harvey Gushing, is known for
her beauty as well as for her
ability in carrying on the Roose-
Welt charm tradition. When her
husband was acting as one of the
White House secretarial staff, Mrs.
James Roosevelt was a highly
popular figure in all those gather
ings where political problems are
discussed over the teacups, and it
was often said that she was
better politician than her hus-
band'-which is saying a good
deal.
Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt. petite

society girl, and has taken an ac-

Mrs. Franklin, Jr., is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugent Dupont of
the Delaware industrial family,

pretty has all the social advant-

give.
Mrs. John Roosevelt is the

family, but like the wives OF the
other two younger Roosevelt boys,

your most intimate friends, even to members Of your families. You must not let anybody outside of thls court talk to you about the case. In the same way, you must avoid being where anything would come over the radio about the case, That applies to every phase of the case. You must abso- lutely make sure that nothing comes to your attention about this ease from now on, except such as comes to you In this court room. In the same way, you must be very careful not to let any- body else know what you are thinking about and because as | said moment ago, the means about which you arrived at your conclusion must be kept seeert from the whole world, You must not talk Co anybody about this ease, even In your own home under conditions where s0mebdy may overhear what you are say ing. That Is one thing you must be very careful about.
 Now I suppose that you under. stand that the first i2 of you chosen constitute the regular panel, The other two who are i3 and li are sitting as so-ealled alternate jurors. Now, the alter nate jurors will sit as you are now In the jury box during the trial of the case. You will listen to all the evidence. Of course, the purpose of having alternate jurors is 50 that if any one or two Of the regular panel are unable to carry through to the end of the ease, the none of the alternate jurors will become regular member. So that as you may be called upon t0 become . member of the regu- lar panel, you are not In any sense . member of the regular panel, For that reason, there must be no comment between the regular panel and the alternate jurors concerning the case. The remain. der of you must Dc very careful not to discuss the ease before the alternate jurors. One Of you al- ternate jurors may become . regular juror or Che ether will not. You must be careful not to dis- euss the ease between yourselves. Tho alternate juror, in other words, must not discuss the case between themselves or in the presence of the regular panel un. tii in time someone becomes . member of the regular panel. Now In order t0 make it possibly . little more easy for you, l want to tell you something about the plan we have for you. The jury room is to Do the headquarters for the mem- bers of the regular panel. The clerks office is to be the head quarters for the alternate Jurors. When the members of the regular panel leave the court, ! will ask you to 70 through t0 your room and also after you come back go through Co the jury room.
 | hope that you will bear in mind the precautions which I have given you and Go understand that the reason for thls caution Is primarily so that you will me able Co decide this case when you come Co the final point Co decide, also that you will be able to decide the ease shown deilberatel 50 that no one else outside of your own room will kpow how the deliberation has been arrived up0n.
