district court yesterday geo AT M ottinger a juror was challenged by mr mcbride for causion cau cause seon on account of his being a member of the Mor mormon church on the assembling reassembling re of court the defense having objected to grounds of challenge mr mcbride argued in favor of his position he introduced a publication purporting to be a compilation of a series of pamphlets eilets published by elder orson pratt r at liverpool in 1851 for the purpose ot reading extracts the there thero re frem from mr sutherland for defendants objected to the reading he understood the attorn attorney attorneys eyd ollit object in reading aka matter was to show the nature of Alor mormonism monism and yet andret it had not even been proved that thab at the author himself WAS a mormon or that he had any authority to state what were the tenets of that organization the court could not take cognizance of the language of 0 pratt it being merely the language angua algua e of an individual and not a affecting the competency of the ju juror r and co could u id have no bearing on the batters lat teis bias being printed lil ill t also it had wid no earmarks ear marts marks 0 of f genuineness the court said in efre effect ct that attorneys were ivere frequently in in the habit of making quotations from various au authors by way of embellishing and illustrating their argument As for instance ins in slander lauder cases attorneys attorn eyb eya have havo exclaimed he who steals my purse steals trash but he who robs me mb of my good hame bame name etc in fact they had quoted from sheridan pitt demosthenes mos thenes and ether other authors they had been known to say truth crushed to earth will rise again eto etc and even had llad thrown in by way of variety a few pas passages ef of scripture but it was never thought of for the courts to stop them in this indulgence the court concluded not to prevent mr mcbride from reading from the pamphlets alluded to so bo the attorney read soine somewhat what copiously from those parts of the work tending fending to show that earthly govern governments were inferior to those of a divine origin mr air mcbride with the same

defendants and plaintiff had offered no evidence that this statement was incorrect the statute prohibited the discharge of any juror for any implied bias not sustained by proof the court said that the
