When the court was resumed Reu ben Arnold asked that the Jury be excluded while he made a nmotion When the Jurors had left, he asked that all the testimony relating to Frank’s alleged degenerancy be ruled out. “We move to exclude all evidence about this negro watching for Frank on other occasions,” said Arnold. “We propose to wlthdray all cros*- examinatlon on this subject. “Your Honor, the stuff is too vile to be read before these women. I’ll show' it to Your Honor and to the attorneys for the prosecution. “Our motion is to exclude this tes timony on the ground that It is ir relevant.” Now, I want to bring to the at tention of the tx>urt,” continued Ar nold, ‘ that this was not brought out on cross-examination. It was put in for nothing in the world, but to preju dice the Jury against this man and propose to rule out our cross-exami nation on those questions. We want to rule out the fact that he watched and what he claims he saw.” Attorney Hooper said that when the defense did not object when that question was put and answered it sevmed to him they were too late. “There is every reason why it should be admitted," he said. “They have had the full benefit of the cross- exemainatipn. I am almost positive they forfeited the right to get this ruled out when they didn't ask for it at the time they were admitted.” Before ruling, the Judge called f?r authorities.
