A little pergonal encounter between
District Attorney Steiwer and I A.
Esteb of Echo furnished some amuse

morning. The attorneys were exam
ining the Jurors In the case of the
State vs. Gulllford and Kirk. "Would
the shedding of tears by the counsel
for the defense have any effect upon
your deliberations" he asked several
of the Jurors, evidently having In
mind the emotion the Echo- lawyer
sometimes puts Into his final argu
ments. The latter was spurned to re
turn the compliment "Do you believe
In hypnotism?" he aaked one Juror.
"Do you believe In personal magnet
ism or personal beauty as a force?"
The luror couldn't aulte see the bear
Ing of the questions until Col. Esteo
continued, "to be more explicit would
the tthvsical beauty of the prosecut
Ing attorney, his winsome smile and
his pearly teeth have any effect upon
you In considering this case? Would
ii make anv difference to you If you
knew him to be of Teutonic birth or
