Schmidt's Jury Selected at Los Angeles Judge Accepts Challenge From Prosecution Not Defense J. A. HORTON EXCUSED u. Angeles, Nor. 16.-The twelfth regular Juror was selected and work was begun on the selection of an al ternate juror to sit in the trial of Matthew A. Schmidt, charged with murder in connection with the destruc tion of the Los Angeles Times build ing, October 1, 1910. When the last regular Juror was de cided on, Judge Frank II. Willia stated that in view of the prospect of the trial being a long one, advantage would be taken of the law, which pro vided that an alternate juror might be selected to take the place of one of the regular jurors in rase of illness. This law, the court said, provided that the defense should have two peremp tory challenges and the prosecution one in the selection of Uus alternate. The names of the twelve regular jurors, with the residence, occupation and age of each, are as follows. Edwin H. Miller, Redondo Beach, hotel proprietor, M. .Hanford Waodhary, Pasadena, stock rsiaer, 58. 0. I*. Hamels. Lancaster, rancher, a. W. W. I abler, Los Angeles, street railway conductor. 41. George L.

There is serious doubt in the minds of the people of this city as to wheth er M. A. Schmidt is being givsn a fair trial. Judge Willia. the trial judge, is evi dently biased, as he accepts challenge from the prosecution, but will not ac cept same from defense on the same grounds, as the following comparisons will show: Juror Charles Hughes, a retired capitalist, being examined, testified in part as follows: Question. And the defendant would have, if he wanted to establish in your miad it was gas, he would have to prove it to you* Answer: I think he would; yea, sir. Question- And do you start in the trial, with the Arm, positive convic tion that this building was destroyed by dynamite with intent to take hu man life? Answer: Yes, sir. Question: Yes. and if the defend ant wanted to establish to your sat isfaction that it was done with gas accidentally, he would have to intro duce some proof, wouldn't he? Answer: If that is a necessary ele ment in the case, he would have to do that. Question. Then if the district at torney, in the presentation of his case against the defendant, did not remove from your mind the belief which is now there, that it was done by means of dynamite, you would not require any proof on that question from the people, would you? By Dynamite. Answer: 1 would be inclined to be lieve that the building was destroyed by dynamite. Question: Now. you understand that this is the position of the district attorney ? Answer: Yes, sir. Question: And upon that point you would not require any proof from the district attorney, would you. Answer: No. Question: Then you go into the trial of this case with your mind mads up upon every question except that ? Answer: Yes, sir. Question: Well, you say you would give him a fair and impartial trial? That statement is also coupled with the mental reservation that you have this opinion which would affect your lodgment ? Answer: To a certain extent, yes, sir. Question: You wouldn't be satis fied. would you, Mr. Hughes, to take that as a fact, that the Times build ing was destroyed by dynamite, from what you read in the newspapers in regard to the guilt or innocence of this iefendant ? Answer: Well, connecting the de fendant with it, if the prosecution did that, 1 should take that part of It as settled. The above Juror, a retired capital ist, was challenged by the defense for having a Axed opinion. The court de nied the challenge. John Horton. Juror John A.

Brotherhood of Firemen and the Brotherhood of Railway Train men were in session in this city last week and took up matters pertaining to legislation to be proposed at the next session of the Legislature. The sessions were held in Smith deal Hall.

Question: That i* the way your mind is now? Answer: That is the way I had it Question: You think the source of your information on that convinces you that it was gas? Answer: I thought so all ths time, and I have always contended that that was what it was. Question: All you have read and heard confirms you la that view?

Answer: Wall, it would have to be proven otherwise. Question: From what you have known—from what you have heard— before you came to this court rooas, what you have read ia the papers, you aay you feel that your opinion that the building was Mown up by gas is so firmly fixed that it would require evidence to dislodge that opinion? Answer: Yea, sir. Question: So you feel now that this defendant is innocent? Answer: Yes. sir. Question: And could not possibly be guilty of that offense until the opinion in your mind that it was blown up by gaa is dislodged and an other established* Answer: Yee, sir. Question: They would have to prove his guilt here beyond a rea sonable doubt? Answer: Yet, sir. Question: By establishing the feet that that building was blown up by dynamite and that he had something to do with it, before you could find him guilty? Answer: Yes, sir. Qusstion: This opinion that you have, that It was blown up by gas, would go with you into tbs jury box, if you were chosen, would it? Answer: Yea, air.
