part of the counsel for the defense
that Judee Bordwell, who la presiding,
was plainly trying to qualify a Juror

And as a climax came the rulln-r, by
the court that two jurors, bitterly

rights of both sides. ' ' '
The mask of friendliness which has 1

preparing ' for real fighting, which is
sure to last for months. As the result '
of Judge Bordwell'9 'ruling there now
