MANY WOMEN INCLUDED IN 2D EXTRA LIST

70 Due Up Monday, . 70 Tuesday, £0 Wednesday Court's Attempt To Seat h Murder Case Jury Y The Jasper circuit court jury commissioners, Harry L. Swart-: 7ell, F. 0. Hershman and County Clerk Ivan Carson, dipped into the box today to draw two hundred more talesmen as the court press-1 ed its search for a jury to hear the murder case of Robert O, Brown and Frank Badgley, accused of slaying two Hammond policemen last January 11. It was the second extra panel drawn for the trial which started a week ago Monday and which thus far has consisted solely of an attempt to seat a jury with little, or no success. The regular panel of sixty was quickly exhausted with no juror chosen. The first extra venire numbering one hundred veniremen was exhausted yesterday with less than the required number of jurors obtained whereupon Robert ! Thompson, presiding judge from Winamac, ordered that another panel numbering two hundred be ! drawn. Only Six In Box. When the case was recessed yesterday afternoon until Monday to permit the summoning of more talesmen, there were only six seated in the jury box. And none of those had been accepted. All or j part of them may be accepted, I soid again none of those six may be in the jury box when the trial finally is opened Both the State j and defense have eighteen peremptory challenges remaining at their disposal. A peremptory challenge permits dismissal of a veniremen without cause. There are many causes by which a prospective juror may be rejected. So at the moment it looks as though the completion of the jury process-! ing task is a long way off. At this time with one hundred and ; sixty veniremen examined, there is no Juror, seated. Twelve are

required, and there is a possibility two alternates will also be required as an emergency measure Before the (rial proper can get underway. The i\ who occupied the box at the time court was recessed were: Finest Rockwell (Seat 4), Harold Evers (Seat 5). Albert Hoehn (Seat 7); Earl Stalbaum (Seat 10), Ivan Handley (Seat 31) and John Corbin (Seat 12). Hoehn and Corbin are the veterans of the box, each now having eat tlure for six days, which means they were tentatively seatcd on the opening day of ' the trial. Whether they will be there at the conclusion of the examinations remains to be seen, but at any rate they, have been the chief Bitters to date. 70-Monday. In issuing his orders for the second extra venire, Judge Thompson ordered that the first seventy drawn be called for Monday morning, October 27, at nine o’clock. The next seventy will report at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, October 28, and the remaining sixty are scheduled to report at the courthouse at the same hour on \\ < dnesday. Whether seventy can be examined daily is doubtful, but at any rate an attempt will be made to keep to that pace. It may be that the jury box can Be filled from the first seventy, or perhaps by the time the second Seventy have been examined. However, judgihg from tin* lack of success there has been to date it looks as though the entire 200

may get to the stand. Extra panels can be drawn un- j til the county’s entire jury population has been examined, Judge Thompson said. " The new venire appearing below includes many women in contrast to the small number drawn in the first extra venire, which was seven.
