Mayer that. In examining talesmen for the Jury, he must confine himself to questions relevant to the case. Earlier In the day, Berkman and Miss Goldman had dismissed their attorney and an nounced that they would conduct their own defense. Berkman asked talesmen whether they believed in patriotism, whether they were Christians and what their social interests were. At one point Berkman was told by the jourt that he "must not make speeches," to which Berkman replied that he "was entitled to his rights." A little later Berkman wanted to argue with the court, but was promptly stopped, when Miss Goldman called out: "Your honor: May I say some thing?" "No." said Judge Mayer, emphatic ally, "sit down." She obeyed. Seven talesmen were examined during the day. Four large graves, each containing 45 coffins, were filled with the bodies of the martyrs of tho Russian revolution, persons shot down by the czar's troops during the uprising. Men prominent in the new government took part In the burial service to honor the dead and a vast crowd attended. FALLS 13.Q0O FEET (LONDON, June 28.
