ROANOKE, Va, Jan. IA jur- or's love for the funnies almost broke upan important criminal trial here.
 Defense Attorney s. R. Price asked Judge Benjamin Haden to declare a mistrial because the juror took a copy of Roanoke paper, containing testimony the jury had not been al- lowed to hear, into the jury room,
 The judge agreed that reading the story might prejudice the jurors, but suggested that perhaps they hadn't read that part of the paper
 Sure enough, one of the jurors told the judge he took the paper in just to let a colleague keep up with the doings of a comic strip char acter. The trial went on.
