suary.
Chicago, Ang, 10.--Deelurhlg that
practically all of them had beten "'p
preached" in connection with the re
trial of iee O'Nell Browne, Judge K'r-,
stell today dismissed a panel of 75
venlrolelan who had belr subpoenaed in
the work of selecting a Jury. Judge
K(rstent pronounced the sltuation "de
plorable."
The vcnlrremen were Immediately
taken to the offe offce ur State's Attorney
Waynman, where Judge Kersten asked
each man If he had been called up by
any one In connection with his possi
ble service as a juror. Nearly all an
swered in the affirmative. They were
then Instructed to report in court to
morrow for further investigation. Mr.
.Vayman made the assertion in court
that he:proved by a detective that ev
ery prospective juror was approached,
either directly or through families or
households.
Counsel for Browne asserted that
the veniremen had been "seen" by
agents of a third Interest, neither de
fense nor prosecution, Interested for
political reasons in the downTall of
Drowne.
The First Stir.
The first stir in this development
in tie case occurred in the forenoon
session when Emil Weldnerberg, a ve
nlreman, said that he had been called
Into the office of a physician named
Kclly. A crisis was reached later whten
Swan Dahlberg. 'another. inenlher of
the panel, statld ho had bepls "seen"
by some agent whose real purpose lihe
did not know. Dahlberg said this
agent told hlhl, after questionlit' him
closely as to his belief in the guilt or
innocence of Brbwne that he need not
answer the subpoena. Dahlberg eoted
upon this advice and' in consequence
was brbyght' before themeourt today to
explain why he should not be adjudg
ed in contempt of court. There, he told
lls story: .
Judge Kersten liened over his desk
and said solemnly:
*"The court wants to know if this is
golag to be a fair trial or a travesty
upon justice. The situation has reach
ed a Ioint where an investigation is
neccssary. I don't want to blaite eith
er the state or the defense, but somie
one sl doing crooked work and I ant
loathe to go on wlth the case. When
a juror Is subl)oenoed no one has a
right to talk to hllnm. As It is, probably
every lmanu on this jury has boon up
lroucahed."
The "Third Party."
At this period Altorney i)'lD)oullll
Iade his aeousatlhin againLst nIlII
"'third party" at which Mr. W\uynmain
jumped toi Ills feet,
"I call provei that tile dleflnae Ilhas
been systlultnticaly calling on all vo
.lremen," ihe'msaid, "Main after 1tun1
has been excused froit service on thlis
jury and has. been taken to my office
whelro they told me that they had ilen
approached directly or through mem
bers of their households."
Attorney Erbsteln of the defense
told reporters that the defense had
nothing to fear; that, hn would shlw
that the agents seeing veniremen were
working for the prosecution, One ve
tirenman, whose name w~as not dis
closed, cr'eated a further sensation
whIen tile panel had been taken to the
state's attorney's office.,' There was
a hIlnrry call for a stenographer. A
lelntber .of Mr. Wayman's staff said
the 'venlirenllt had been asked by tile
a•gent to "stick out for Browno t)ill
h-- frose over."
A sixth panel which was ordered to
report toimorrow will he called toinor
row and If It Is found that Investi
gatlors auve been talklng to ldhem, this
paltel will also be dismissed.

that they may be rolieved of further
duty in the case and the laborious pro

case may be taken to another county
on the ground ,that It. Is inposslbto
to get an impartial Jury here,.

tion, which meets at Siaratoga poep
temher 27. Instetd. Vice Preuldent
Sherman was selected.
This In Colonel ItOfrovelt's sccond
defeat at the hands of the "old guard"
the first having been the legllslaldre's
refusal to pass the Cobb direct prt
mary -bill, although Mr. Roosevelt had
ca.peclally inlorsed It. With his not
back todaly plans for harmony withlhs
tile party In New York received ii
severe blow and ias soon as. Colonest
Roouevelt heard the niews Ie issued a
statement in which IIe enrolled him
self as a progressive, so far as the
New York sltuation sues.
It was the most pointed political
statement since his return and thoas
who maw him were convinced that he
had determined to bIegin an open fight
on the "old guard."
May Be Chairman Y(1
Today's repudiation does nbt feclo
sirily mean that Colonel Roosevelt
will pot lht temporary chairman, after
all. 'lTh convention delegates them
selves will decide who. ise "to u5ldiiLaO..
meeting and deliver the "keynote
speech." but the start' committee's
recommendation of Mr. 8herillan for
the place served notice on the et
president and his supporters that the
"old guard" would fight him to the
end.
In the Interval between now and
September 27 It In expected that theO
struggle bets.eemn the orgnlisatlon and
the Itoosevelt-Hughoes forces will ho
carrled Into every corner of the state
and that the chlef Issue wilj be at the
prim-alles for the election of Roose
velt, or untlit-oosevelt delegates to the
conveIntlon.
Whether M1r. hllerman lent his sup
iport to the monvement which resulted
in Colonll Iloosovelt's defeat has niot
