Marlon, Ind., March 15—(Special to Daily Democrat)—After about two hours’ work this morning the jury was selected which will try the Krause divorce case. Forty jurors had been summoned and about half the .number were used before the selection was complete. The opening statement was made just before noon. The case fa being tried before Judge Elliot of the superior court, fait because of the great interest shown and Qje large pumber of . witnesses in the case, it is being heard In the circuit court room, which is much larger. Mrs. Krauss, who suffered her fair name to be Shattered and who so loved her husband that she has served several years in prison, for the crime Which she says he committed, is as beautiful as ever and attracted much attention here. She is attended by Miss Allison, an attendant from the woman’s prison, and her defense in the sensational divorce case is being looked after by Attorney J. A. Hindman. The interests of Mr. Krauss are being cared for by John Burns and four or five other attorneys. Both Mr. and Mrs. Krauss ar stopping at the Spencer hotel. The trial of the case will require several days and may not be .completed this week., Mrs. Krauss’ attorney says he will, not only prevent Krauss from secur-i ing the divorce, but he will substantiate every statement of the crosscomplaint Krauss’ friends say he wll win out. It is likely that no divorce case in Indiana’s history has created more interest Mrs. Krauss Is but thirty years old, while her husband looks to be fifty. • / o—— ' The third large clqps to be taken into the Scottish Rite Masonic bodies, including the new Sovereign consistin which the first work in the higher branches was done only last November in Fort Wayne, within the past four months in the new Scottish Rite cathedral, will commence the trail through the labyrinth of Masonic ceremonies and teachings this afternoon, when, with the presentation of candidates at the candidates’ room on the third floor of the new cathedral at 1 o’clock, the spring convocation of the Fort Wayne Sovereign consistory will begin a three days’ session, covering today, Wednesday and Thursday.
