DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1931.

JURY PROBED ' THROUGHOUT MORNING MEET (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) through his attorney, pleading not guilty. F ive members of the regular jury having been excused, the court ordered the deputy sheriff to fill the Jury box from those of the special venire and Attorney DeVoss immediately began examining them as to their qualifications to sit in th? case. Charles H. Gage, of Monmouth was the first to be questioned. Mr. DeVoss went to considerable length in examining the jurors. dwelling upon the matter of self defense to such an extent as to indicate that would be the defense. Others of the twelve first called ■ were: Edward Neadstlne, Blue Creek township, farmer, six children. Walter Bultemeier, Root, farmer, six children. W. A. ■ Lower, Decatur, business man. Charles Lehrman, Union township, farmer. Ben Eiting, Washington township, farmer. Albert 11. Heckman, Preble township, farmer. Frank Krick, Decatur, tile manufacturer. William Grandlinard, French township, farmer. Milton Girod, Kirkland township, farmer. Frank Heaton, Jefferson township, farmer. Herman M. Gillig, Decatur, insurance agent. A ten minute intermission was taken at eleven o’clock and immediately afterward, Mr. DeVoss passled the jury tentatively. Mr. Lutz then made a brief statement of the case and began questioning the jurors for the state. Questioning Mr. Gage who stated his age at 71, he asked him if he felt he could stand the strain of a week or ten days, indicating about the period expected to be required. Up to noon Mr. Lutz had questioned five of the prospective jurors, Charles Gage, Charles Lehrman. Edward Neadstine, Walter Bultemelr, and W. A. Lower. To each of them he put the question: •'This being a capitol case, let me i ask you. do you entertain such conscientous opinions as would preclude you from finding the defendant guilty if you understood that if found guilty, the defendant might be sentenced to death?" As this question was asked each time there were stern looks upon the faces of the juryman and the , court room was still enough to hear a pin drop. Os the live questioned this morning each stated he coiild return such a verdict it warranted , by the evidence. Court adjourned at 12 o’clock, Judge Erwin ordering the jury held ' together during the dinner hour and to report at 1:30 o’clock. The ' judge stated that he would keep them together until a verdict is returned including Thanksgiving Day. Six rooms have been obtained at the Madison hotel where the jury will have quarters during the 1 trial, with a bailiff in charge. It is expected that a jury will lie obtained by tomorrow. The ‘ three women drawn on the special 1 venire, Mrs. H. F. Ehinger, Mrs. Dee Fryback and Mrs. Paul Edwards were all in court this morning but were not called for service ‘ up to noon, the jury being filled, by ' men who had served during the term. All of the special venire not used was asked to retire froni the court room, the men having quarters in the sheriff's office while the ladies were comfortable in the library room. The Joe Everett, ap- : peared in a neat grey suit, with a blue hickory shirt and looked calm and unafraid. -Occasionally he ' stared into space as though he were going over some of the de- ' tails of the affair or thinking seriously of the outcome. While none of the prospective ’ jurors had been removed at noon 1 that does not indicate what will happen as neither side had so tar 1 challenged premptorily and each is 1 entitled to twenty challenges it ' they so desire. Added to this can ’ be as many removals for cause as ’ can be shown. 1 Deputy State's Attorney Lutz continued his questioning at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. Albert Heckman was first questioned and tentatively passed. H. M. Gillig, Decatur business man was the next talesman questioned and he was passed. Milton Girod and Ben Eiting, both farmers were passed. Tho state then challenged William Granlinard because he stated that he did not believe in capitol punishment.

| The objection was sustained and j Granlinard was excused. Frank i Krick, local manufacturer also said that he did not believe in capitol punishment and was excused by the state, for cause. Mrs. Irene Fryback was called to the jury box. She was the first woman ever to occupy a seat in jthe jury box of Adams circuit j court. Mrs. Fryback was passed by the 'state, after she declared she believed the evidence should determine whether a man should forefeit his life for the murder of another Glen Alger was called to the jury ■box to take the place of Frank i Krick. Alger said he did not beilieve in capitol punishment and was excused for cause. Mrs. Jennie Edwards then was placed in the | box in Alger’s place. o BANDITS RID TEAROOM; FIRE INTO VICTIMS: i .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I | bleeding from his wound, dragged himself to a telephone and called i help.
