THE JURY TART The trial of Aiden J. Blethen is on, and the examination of jurors was begun at 11:30 this morning. Judge Ronald this morning, without listening to any argu- |ments from Deputy Prose- eutors Hugh Caldwell and Alfred H. Lundin, denied the demurrer interposed against the grand jury indictment. Fulton Argues. Chief Counsel Walter gued for more than an_ hour that the indictment did not contain facts sufficient to con- | Ful-| _|ton for Alden J. Blethen ar- stitute a crime. He also urged | that Alden J. Blethen is merely jcharged with aiding and abet- ting Ludovic Dallagiovanna and Charles Berryman in the maintenance of a public nui-| sance in operating the Arcade| dance hall, and that therefore) the indictment was faulty be-| cause it did not allege that| Blethen knew the place was/ conducted in violation of the law. Fulton made an eloquent jargument, and cited numerous authorities. Took Short Recess. At the conclusion of his ar- gument Judge Ronald ordered a recess, and took into his pri- vate chambers a tutuber of the law books referred to in Ful- ton’s argument. When court) was resumed a: about 1!:30,| Judge Ronald, without asking | to hear any argur-ent from the state, denied the demurrer.

When the Blethen case was called last Wednesday, at whieh time it was continued because of the unsanitary conditions in the| courthouse during the water fam ine, Fulton at the last moment gave notice that he would file the de murrer, Caldwell at that time in open court stated that if the de-| murrer were sustained, he would file a new information against Blethen Prosecutor Murphy was: not in| the court then, Caldwell, however, informed Murphy in the prosecut ing attorney's office of his inten tion file a new — information, Murphy said nothing at that time: Caldwell Astounded This morning, however, before the judge announced his decision ‘on the demurrer, and while Fulton was at the height of his argument Murphy entered into the ca again, whispering to Caldwell that to | of shuffling the names and drawing Caldwell, astounded at this action,|tion that had for its object the sought to have Murphy withdraw | moval of Chief Wappenstein?” his instruction during the recess or No; I registered in the recall dered before Judge Ronald's decis- | election, but did not vote—I did not fon was made, But Murphy re| know enough about it.” mained firm in his determination| Mrs, Windle pas passed for cause to let the Blethen case drop. both sides Not Guilty Is Plea.
