But chief trial deputy Francis Thomason, who will deliver the state’s opening summary at the trial of tire 44-year-old career woman for the slaying of Forrest Teel, 54, said that does not rule out the possibility the demand will be made later in the trial Twelve husbands were sworn in Wednesday as the jury to hear the evidence. The state obtained from each a statement that he does not object to execution of a woman convicted of first degree murder. The state hopes to prove that Mrs. Nicholas deliberately plotted the death of Teel, her partner in extra-marital romance for 15 years, when she discovered ‘he was abandoning her fora younger woman.

Conviction upon assault does not necessarily require a prison sentence. Hie state said it will take exception to any judicial instructions raising the possibility of any finding other than first or second degree murder or manslaughter.
