The ruling of Jujg Mutton at l:S

lenoe of alleged wholesale Jury corruption
ball constitute part of the state's case
against Darrow. k ,' ' "
.Both aid admitted that a crisis had
been reached In ta ease of the noted
awyer. ,- .., ; : .1
A ruling against the' admissibility of
evidence showing alleged offenses other
than the attempted corruption of-fcock-wood
would be a serious setback to the
prosecution and aa important victory for
Jie .defense.
With the exclusion of the evidence In
volved la the question the state a case
would be confined to testimony germane
only to the Lockwood testimony, which
would hasten the end of the trial by at
. least a month. .
'There will be no such denouement aa

"I never had anything to confess la this
case,' said Darrow today, -"and never
had any conversation with anyone regard
ing a confession, nor any intimation or
thought of that kind."
Fredericks refused to state definitely
whether the prosecution conducted any
negotiations with the detenae, looking to
a plek of guilty. He said, however, that ha
expected the trial of Darrow to continue
an 01 the Jury agreed ea a verdict.
