NO JURY YET IN

Pueblo, Colo. Jan. 6.-E&amina-
,Ion OF jurors by counsel for state
and defense in the La Veta murder
case continued today with little
prospect that a Jury will be accepted
before nightfall-
\ feature of the states eNamina-
ton OF talesmen thus far has been
the absence of any mention OF capital
punishment
Close, painstaking examination
Of the taiesmen market the second
day OF the La Veta murder trials
now in progress in the District court
here. One by one prospective Jurors
were sworn, questioned and reques-
toned, passed for a time or excused.
Court attaches. spectators and other
Jurors yawred with the monotony OF
IL, but the attorneys C.ung to the
work tenaciously, with Judge Burke
following with equal closeness from
the bench.
Proceedings in the trial yesterday
confirmed the prediction that the
drawing OF a jury will lee a tremen-
dous task. Questions went into the
history Of each juror back to his
boyhood- Extensive investigation OF
the disposition OF each of the 200
talesmen summoned haG been made
before the trial ever started and
each OF the jurors is carefully
checked. Attorney Thomas II. Devine,
special prosecutor. conducted the ex-
animation for the state and Attorney
Horace y. Hawkins for the defense.
Attorney Deyine sought particular
ly 20 probe each juror on his attitude
toward labor and unionism. AL
though the state is asking that the
men be hanged, the question of capi-
tai punishment has not been put to
single juror.
There were 40 talcSmen in court
when the trial was opened yestcrday-
Thirty were of the first fifty called
Monday and forty of the fifty sum
noned for yesterday. OF the first
fifty the sheriff obtained service OF
thirty-nine. Nine were excused for
sickness and defective hearing The
talcsmen examined yesterday were

who was one OF those killed on the
spot
The two protests made by the
counsel for the defense were over
ruled by Judge Burke of Sterling late
in the afternoon. The first point
raised by Attorney Hawkins was that
District Attorney Hendricks Of Huer-
fano county had no right to accept
assistance from outside counsel. and
that. therefore, Attorney Devine,
Jesse G. Northcutt, George C.. Man
iy and Charles Hayden, had no right
to participate in the trial. Judge
Burke ruled that regardless of the
right or wrong, the defense had sac
rificed its right to protest on the
point because it had not objected
earlier. For several months the de-
