 IN CAMBRIDGE
Hattie 1e Blanc, After Years Confinement in Jail, Brought Into Court Today Charged With Shooting
 Down Clarence Glover in
 His Waltham Laundry.
Special from United Press, !,

Boston, N2v. 2s.-Pale from the con- f1nement of a year and a week, Hat tie Le Blanc, the F year old French Canadian girl, today, faced Judge Daniel W. Bond, and the 192 men from whom the jury, that will decide her fate, will be chosen, in the East Cambridge criminal court. When the court convened the girls trial for the murder of Clarence F. Glover, who was shot down in his Wa1tharn 1aun- dry, the night of November 20, last year, had begun, and what may be the last chapter in one of the deepest mysteries Massachusetts ever has known, had started.
 With but little knowledge of Eng fish, the little French-Canadian girl, the testimony. and throughout today's proceedings, she sat with puckered brows, plainly doing her best to un- derstand the intricate procedure.
 Hattie was brought across the street from the jail, in which she had been held prisoner, and where she has increased in weight in a year, from 100 to 125 pounds, early, to avoid the vast crowd that gathered about the court and jail. She was dressed in a simple girlish gown of blue, with blue ribbons in her hair. Aside from the prison pallor and a visible tremb- ling as the hour for her greatest trial possible to tell that she was a pris- oner. She is plump, and during her Imprisonment, has developed from a mere slip of a girl ito young wom- an. She looked Cautiously at the crowds that stared at her, and smil- conpanied her across the street.
 As she sat in court with her father, Abram Le Blanc, her attorney, Mel win M. Johnson, and the prison ma- tron. she listened attentively, and seemingly little breathlessly as they vous as the hours dragged by before court was convened
 The talesmen were late in reporting and the 192 men had not appeared al- though 150 were present when the court was called to order, slightly af- ter 10 o'clock. The girl was command ed to stand which she did, and nearly fainted when the indictment charging her with the killing of Clarence F. Glover, of Waltham, a laundryman, was read to her. After the reading the court proceeded with the tenta- tive selection of jurors.
 On account of the talesmen occupy ing the whole courtroom, no specta- tors were allowed, today. This proved a great disappointment to the crowd outside, though it had been previously announced.
 Excellent progress was made in se- leeting a jury and by noon six men had been tentatively accepted from forty odd talesmen examined. In Mas sachusetts the jury is first tentatively selected from the talesmen and only challenged for cause used. After all F have been tentatively accepted the attorneys then use their peremptory challenges.
 Two agriculturists were accepted among the six tentative jurors. Hat tie and her father were frequently consulted during the examining of talesmen. Those tentatively accepted by noon, were: W. H. Fairbanks, Sud- bury farmer; Charles H. Perry, Bur- lington, painter; s. R. Barker Red ding, clerk; J. F. Robbins, Lowell, farmer; James D. McGrather, Newton, painter; Alexia R. Martell. Ayre, re- tired. All are middel-aged men.
 The 18th juror was tentatively ac- cepted at 1:05 this afternoon.
