81 TALESMEN READY
FOR CALHOUN TRIAL
Entire Session of Court Devoted
TO Examination of Pros
pective Jurors

Thirty-one names Will be placed in
the jury box Monday morning to be
drawn for jury examination in the
Calhoun case in Judge Lawlor's court
This many were retained yesterday by
the court out OF venire of 75 sum-
moned for service. There was but
one session Of the court and that was
taken up entirely with the preliminary
investigation conducted by Judge Law
lor
Four members of the venire did not
appear in answer to the summons
served on them, and OF the Il who
did respond 40 were allowed to go
after presenting statutory excuses for
disqualification to the court. CAL
houn himself did not appear at the
session and the formalities of check
ing the lists of names were attended
TO by Assistant District Attorney
o'Gara, representing the people, and by
Stanley Moore of the defendants
counsel.
The new panel has brought the total
of talesmen already summoned in the
Calhoun trial up to 375, and of this
number but four jurors have been ac-
eepted subject TO peremptory chal-
lenge. The progress last week was
even less encouraging than that of the
hrst week, only one talesman being
passed subject to peremptory challenge.
-Four men are now in the jury box as
result OF two weeks of strenuous labor.
but none of the four has been finally
sworn. and all of them might be dis
quallfled on peremptory challenge
The excuses given yesterday to avoid
being held on the special yenire for
examination ranged through every stat
utory ground and provision. The cues
ton of belief in the guilt or limo
cence or Calhoun being set entirely
aside for the purpose of the preliminary
examination, many of the jurors pleaded
important business affairs. others re-
lied upon Doctors certificates concern
ing their state of health and some upon
their connection with the national
guard or other organization relieving
them from the necessity of Jury sery-
ice. However, the dismissals were kept
down by Judge Lawlor to the small
est possible number
