Of his children, from whom he had
been separated for six weeks, in the

iron, one of the jurors, escaped from
the jury's hotel quarters. The entire
city police force and dozen deputies
from the county marshals Office have
searched in vain for him since his
absence was noted.
II Walliron is not located the eleven
remaining jurors will be discharged,
Judge Porterfeld said. Or if the
missing man is found and he cannot
prove that he has not discussed the
case during his absence the same ac~

in good health and swear that he has
mentioned the trial to no one and the

trial will proceed.
Fear that Walliron has killed him

indeed, he had been almost every day
since he was chosen a juror. He OBJ

ed, saying that his business interests
would not permit his absence. Later
he was taken ill and begged piteously
for his wife and children. After that
his wife wrote him daily and he
seemed more contented.
