The following excerpt is from Silverthorne v. United States, 400 F.2d 627 (9th Cir. 1968):
Irvin v. Dowd, supra, 366 U.S. at 724-725, 81 S.Ct. 1639 at 1643-1644. The tests and procedures adopted by the court below were too restrictive in both scope and substance to accord to appellant the right to explore for the impartially fair juror and the court should have permitted appellant's counsel to interrogate the prospective jurors.
