The defense In, the McNamara case lost an important point today when Judge Bordwell ruled directly against Its two challenges interposed by them against opinionated venire men. Not only were the challenges disallowed by Judge Bordwell, but he peremptorily refused to permit Dar row to either argue against the rul ing or to further question the two men. The Jurors In question, who now can only be eliminated by peremp tory challenge, are A. C. Winter, a retired , butcher... who admitted a strong prejudice against organized labor and that he had acted as a strikebreaker In the butchers' strike In this city several years ago; and Walter N. Frampton, a farmer, who said he believed McNamara guilty be yond a reasonable doubt, but said t later he could lay aside hla opinion l-iand presume his innocence. It-s row- , insistence on .
