' There was a mo- ment or curious silence zouowmg ma the -court's cwestion. It occurred to ua that the little troubles between defend ing counsel . had . developed violently. Then, Thomas Cahalan, one of Haywood's It attorneys, walked in and eat down in one of the. chairs that are backed up agalnat the seml-cpwilar railing. He never sits with counsel at the table.

The court., re peated, the question.. , - I don't know where they are," said Mr. Calahan. Then Peter ' Breen of Butte City walked In and sat alone, four cha Ira from Calahan. He haa come to.

He seemed to De a solitary and disconso late figure. For the - flrat time there waa something about him, some sense of loneliness, that appealed -to the sen timent of pity, Peter Breen folded his muscular arms, his threatening eyes snapping.- He looked "a 'potent, in domltable, fighting man.

The episode was trifling, but signifi cant. Then followed one of the sur prises of the case. Alfred Eoff, the last Juror to be called on Friday, was examined by Borah and passed. He la a wealthy man and a retired banker. It was taken for granted that Eoff would admit so much bias that the defense would be able to disqualify him easily. Richardson undertook his ex amination. . He challenged him for Im plied bias and the court denied the chal lenge. "He chaienged him for direct bias and the court denied that challenge aa well. And It was Richardson's turn to feel Borah's uppercut Richardson asked Alfred Eoff a auestlon that was vague in ita terms . about his f eellnara concerning the Weatern Federation.
