I TERRE HAUTE, Dec. 9—Mrs. I Marian H Runyan 2111 South Center street who qualified Tuesday for service on the jury for trial of the McDonald Murder case, was excused from duty yesterday afternoon by j Judge J. P Jeffries against the pro- | test of the attorneys ^or the prosc- ) cution who wished to retain Mrs. ! Runyan on the jury. The remainder of the session was devoted to examination of the jurors, the last of the 120 names which have been drawn being
