Walte looked white and wan today, al

effects of strong narcotics taken when lie
foresaw the police must Inevitably uncover
the trail of his plot of poisoning. He said
bo was "feeling fine."
'ote seemed master of his emotions as

"enlreman, Joseph S Irving, replied, "Yes,
but not in a case like this."
Up to noon seven jurors had been tenta
tively accepted. Theso aro still subject to
challenge by either side.
The only stock question which seemed to
make Walte loso his Ice cold calm moment

Judgment by sympathy or compassion for
the defendant?"

Methods of political leaders bv which
civil service requirements nrc made ensy
for favored appointees to munlclpil posi
tions are to be attacked In n series of
suits to be Instituted ngnlnst Mayor
Smith, his directors and members of the
Civil Servlco Commission
Tho first of these actions, the papers In
which were filed today, concerns the ap
pointment of Robert A. Pitts, of 5443
Locust street, to the position of chief of
the Bureau of Elevator Inspection, at a
salary of $3500' a year.
In the form of a taxpayer's suit, tho
Couit of Common Pleas was asked to
Issue an injunction restraining City Con
troller Wnlton from countersigning, and
City Trensurer McCoach from paying, any
salary warrant to Pitts, while Mayor Smith
and Director of Public Safety Wilson aro to
be restrained from Issuing any such war
rant or retaining Pitt In the city's employ.
The suit was brought by Louis Rosen
blutt, of 1428 North Cth street, through At
torney Joseph L. McAlcer.
In the bill of complaint the fitness of
Pitts to hold the position was attacked
The bill creating the Bureau of Elevator
Inspection, It Is held, expressly stipulates
that the person appointed to the position of
chief must be a man of practical experi
ence In the active construction of elevators
Only an expert In elevator construction, It
Is contended, could be appointed, or could
qualify, under the stringent requirements
of tho act.
Pitts, It Is declared, was manager of an
apartment house when provisionally ap
pointed by Mayor Smith He Is a follower
of Harry A, Mackcy, Varo leader of the
40th Ward, and chairman of the Work
men's Compensation Commission.
On acount of Pitts' political support and
the feeling that he was "slated" for the
permanent appointment, it is asserted that
tho Civil Service Commission hnd difficulty
In Inducing others to participate in the re
qured competitive examination for the
place The examination, scheduled for
March, had to be postponed. It was finally
held on May 2
This examination. It Is said, was not of
a technical nature, but rather an elemen
tary one, and that It afforded no opportu
nity for practical elevator constructors to
show their skill and fitness, The result, an
nounced last Thursday, showed Pitts at the
head of tho eligible list.
Ho was credited with 93 for practical ex
pcrlence. Pitt was never registered In the
Intel national Elevator Constructors Union,
although nil elevntor inspectors are said to
Ito on the books of this organization
Robert Smith, who Is regarded as a prac-
Ileal eiOV.lVor mull unu ivnu inamiicu mo
elevator plant In the Wldener Building, re
ceived an average of 67. Pitt was awarded
a (nark of 00 for personal fitness, while
Smith got 80. .
In this connection, the court Is asked in
tho bill to declare the examination null and
void and order the Civil Service Commis
sion to hold another.
