The rlnl of Nerman Penrose, with the evidence nil in, nearly came te nti abrupt halt this morning when District Attorney Rcn tilnger demanded that a juror be wlth diuwn nnd moved n mistrial.

Mr. Rcnnlngcr bnwd his demand for a mistrial en the fact that one of the jurors had been overheard converging with n veung Weman who is employed as n clerk in the office of counsel for the defense.

The juror looked uncomforta ble us the eves of all the court room were turned en htm. -nss n, seated in court, nppeared serene. Ner- man Penrose, between his attorneys, did net move.

Meyers, called te thu btand, made the same declaration. "Almest cvry one in the car was talking about the case," he said. ".Miss Ferest remarked that she was seny for the defendant, but I changed the con cen con ersa(len, having in mind the Judge s warning net le tnll; with any one about It." Mr. Rcnnlnger took the juror cevcre!y te task. "Why did you talk te her at all?" lie demanded. "I imply wanted te be polite," an swered the juror. "And j en would allow- politeness te interfere with jiibliie?" "Ne 1 lepeat, T merely wnnted te be. polite. I changed the coinetsaliei,. That's all there was te it." The District Attorney hald he did net wish te be unreasonable, but that any i conversation about the case had been , eminently improper.
