EXHAUST FIRST BOMB VENIRE

Judge and Lawyers Weed Out Prospective Jurors at Trial of McNamara. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct 27. Four talesmen subject only to peremptory challenges, one whose challenge for cause was under consideration and one whose examination was uncompleted, were all that were left out of a venire of 125 men summoned in the murder trial of James B. McNamara when court opened. In reality only forty-five talesmen have been examined since the trial began, the remainder having been weeded out in a preliminary examination conducted by Judge Bordwell, which went into extraneous reasons only, leaving to counsel the work of finding out the state of mind of each talesman after the trial formally opened sixteen calendar days ago.
