and VIM. Larsen passed for cause.
The prosecution peremptorily chal-
lenged A. L. Lunggren, and the defense
VIM. Dunbar, Alex. Lyle and S. w.
Shaw. Dunbar was the second man
passed for cause and had been seated
on the accepted panel since March g.
Lunggren had only passed yesterday,
after saying he disbelieyed in capital
punishment-not for it's harshness but
because life or long term Imprisonment
was more to be dreaded.
Among others curious answers given
yesterday was that of Eugene Buffan-
deau. He said he could give a verdict
according to the evidence and TO the
law as laid down by the court, but if
the evidence proved that Jones had
deliberately shot his wife and Mrs.
Parmenter it would convince him that
he was crazy when he did the deed.
