Second problem was getting a jury. With 81 defendants, the trial seemed likely to last two months or more. Veniremen viewed the case with alarm. On the first day of the trial there were so many veniremen and so many accused that the prisoners had to move out into the corridors. The Government summoned 106 veniremen before a jury could be selected...
...American Dental Association at Washington last week by only greeting a few of them (see p. 13).* Also they were cross because they did not get the newspaper publicity which conventioneers expect. Partly that was not their fault. Prime Minister MacDonald's visit to Washington and two sensational stranglings filled Washington papers and clogged national press services.

Most of the stags were potent Congressmen and Senators of both parties, including Senatorial floor leaders Robinson (Dem.) and Watson (Rep.). Sound meat for conversation was a joint declaration issued earlier in the day by Stags Hoover and MacDonald, momentously summing the results of their conversations...
Hoover -MacDonald Declaration: "Both our Governments resolve to accept the [Kellogg-Briand] Peace Pact not only as a declaration of good intentions, but as a positive obligation. . . . Therefore, in a new and reinforced sense the two governments not only declare that war between them is unthinkable, but that distrusts and suspicions arising from doubts and fears which may have been justified before the Peace Pact must now cease to influence national policy...
