State May Begin Case Today; Temporary Insan~ ity to Be Defense Plea.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18 (U.P.) —Prose-|

cution and defense attorneys proceeded today with selection of a

jury to decide the guilt or innecence}

of Rudolph Sikora, 31, ‘who cherished his wife’s love so much he killed the man who won it. = " Eight jurors, all married and qualified to inflict a death penalty, had been chosen when Criminal Court Judge James FP. Fardy adjourned court last night. It was expected the jury would be completed by midmorning. -

The principal prosecution witness} -

will be Sikora’s wife, Margaret, 22,

-a slender brunet, whom he had at-}{

tempted to please by doing her housework, serving her breakfast in bed snd even scrubbing floors. It was that overpowering love for her,

..the State charges, that drove him} one August morning to fire five fatal} .- shots into the body of Edward Solo-

mon, 35, an urbane accountant, who

‘had wooed and won her with talk :

.of poetry and music. : rreled Frequently :

Qua Police said she and her husband} _ had quarreled frequently over Solo-

mon’s attentions to her and she had asked for a divorce. : She wept when she learned of the slaying but her tears were for Solomon, not for her husband. She has Santesty refused to give him any aid. “He was all right,” she said. “He was a perfect husband, but I loved ‘Eddy—poor Eddy.” Defense Attorney W. W. Smith said Sikora’s plea would be temporary emotional insanity.

23 Oppose Death Penalty

Mr. Smith made it plain yesterday that he wanted'the jury composed of family men. He used nine peremptory challenges, the State 13. Twenty-three veniremen were rejected because they said they were against the death penalty or had formed opinions by reading about the case. Assistant State’s Attorney Leslie Curtis said he would call 12 witnesses, including four persons whe saw Sikora fire the fatal shots. Mr. Smith will call 25. Sikora’s mother-in-law had indicated that she would testify for him. However, she attended the session yesterday and attorneys said her presence in court would make it impossible to call her as a witness later.
