" In view of tha prejudice which the article must have excited Judge Bennett asked' that ths panel be quaahed and a new panel be drawn. V - Mr. Heney replied to the objectiona to tha regularity of the panel by reading from the statutes and showing that they had been Strictly followed, a view with which Judge Hunt coincided. As to the second ground of the motion for a con tinuance. Mr. Heney aaid that there waa nothing to Indicate that tha Oregonlan'a article had attracted the attention of the talesmen, and he thaught it aafe to aay that nlne-tentha of them, like himself, had never read It. Judge Hunt waa of the opinion that tha facta did not war rant a continuance and the motion waa thereupon overruled. In addition to the three Jurors ac cepted thla morning, alx others were ex amined, but rejected. D. N. Pierce of Rowland, Louie J. Goldsmith of Port land, W. Oj Plus of Rainier snd Edward C.
