cutor stated that the defendants
were given an opportunity to os-

empaneled and were forbidden from
raiding the question of prejudice
now. He stated that It was not suf-

sinuate that prejudice existed but
it should be shown to wlicm these

at length from the record allowing

of the Jurors who wild he had an

While the attorney wwk reading
from the Okl.ihoma statutes. Judge
Marshall pertinently inquired "What
ban this to do with criminal pine-
tlce lu the federal courts?" The
attorney's answer Wan that he wa.
proving that defendants were too
late with their motion under the
stale laws as well as under the fed-
eml laws in his argument .Mr. Hush j
salil that courts were slow to Inter-'
fere with Indictments returned byl
Jurors. Under the law the question j
ot bias and prejudice cannot be
raised after the indictments are j
returned such questions should
have been raided when the Jurots!
were being examined. Unless tlm j
right of challenge be exercised be- j
fore indictment it cniinct be raised
afterward. Tlie political or religious
belief of a Juror does not disqualify
jh am tbe fact that he 's a nar-
tisau does not disqualify him. After
the courts have used diligence to
uwcrmln if prejudice exists It can-
not be questioned Inter.

rors outside the .r) room the In-
sinuations are unwarranted he said
and the vote of a Juror cannot be
questioned. He contended that tbe

In his reply to Knov Cr.ine -.nd
that although his resignation had at
