Five Suspects
to Trial Today
Seventy-Five Good Men and True
Await Possible Call to
Jury Duty.

The trial of the five alleged Overland
Limited mail bandits. Wood Torgenson
Grigware, Shelton and Matthews, will begin
at o'clock this afternoon In the United
States district court before Judge Thomas
C. Munger.
The jury will be selected from a panel
of about seventy-five, and It is believes
that the twelve men will be secured dur.
ing the afternoon. The taking OF testi
mony will hardly begin before Tuesday
morning.
About eighty witnesses are already under
summons and the trial will probably take
two weeks. The first OF the witnesses to
testify will be the train crew of the robbed
train and the postal railway clerks who
were victims of the holdup. This evidence
will be given to establish the fact of the
train robbery, and after this will follow
the story Of the recovery of the pistols and
masks of the robbers by the school chill
dren Of the Brown Park school, and the
subsequent recovery of the rifled mail
sacks in the loft of the Brown Park school
house, with the Identification Of the parties
under arrest as connected with the robbery.
The defense WIN put up a strong fight
on the ground that the men under arrest
have not been shown to be in any way
connected with the robbery directly or in
directly, and that the only evidence agains,
them is wholly circumstantial.
