There ; was ' some talk In the cour- room after adjournment that that-: might be, a further weeding out of Ju roe. . f hls talk was prompted by a re quest of District Attorney Jerome thai the talesmen remaining in the last pan el . be instructed to be in court Mon day. But in making the request Mr Jerome said he did not expect -furthe! dolay..

It waa rumored that the health of ene of the men chosen ,1s so precarious that District Attorney Je rome hesitates to proceed with the case through apprehension that the close conflnenment of the jury will result in his UlneBS and cause a mistrial.
