Tacoma, VIII OILS representing Main,
declared today the defense will
show that the alleged intimacy be-
tween Main and Mrs. Swayne was
business intimacy, in that Main
was handling the Red Cross ana
Liberty Loan work among men,
while Mrs. Swayne was handling
IL for women. This brought them
together often, he declared.
Langhorne said he would prove
conclusively that Main and
Swayne were close friends up to
the time of the murder. Also he
said he will furnish an alibi by
showing that Main was in his Of

committed.
"The defense will prove that
Swayne had the utmost confidence
in Main, having trusted the care
of his wife to Main two days be-
fore the murder" said Langhorne.

-Four Women ON Jury.
Four women ana eight men will
decide the fate OF Oscar Main.
The attorneys in the case. con-
trary to expectation, selected q sat
isfactory jury yesterday in exactly
four hours. Only "a veniremen
were used in getting the required
IL jurors.
The state used all its challenges
while the defense accepted the
jury while 1t still had two chal-
lenges left. Only five veniremen
were excused by the court because
of having formed opinions or hav-
ing prejudices against circumstan-
tial evidence.
One of these was Mrs. w, A.
Stiles, who said she would never
convict a man ON circumstantial
evidence. She was challenged by
the state and was excused.
The jury, after being accepted,
was sworn in and after being told
to be on hand to start the trial
at $3.50 o'clock this morning was
excused. They were taken in
charge by bailiff and presented
lonesome appearance as they sat
in a corner of the sitting room Of
the st. Helens hotel, segregated
by the rest of the guests.
The jury members are s. Thorp
of Meskill;; C. l.. Hall, jr., Of
Lewis county; Mrs. William Stuart
of Centralia; A. P. Sloan of Reffe;
Mrs. j. !. .Bassett of Napavine;
Mrs. Clara Rusho of Centralia;
j. F. Greer of Mccormick; ]. L.
Hatfield Of Messy Rock; Amos
Murphy of Latelle; Sidney Thomp-
son of Centralia, and w. H. Kind
Ter Of Centralia.
Main Remains Calm.
Main sat beside his attorneys
and watched with keen yet cool
interest the selection of the IL
! erscns who would decide his fate.
Not once did he show any sign
of disturbance or anxiety or un-
easiness. Behind him sat his
wife, a we'll dressed young wom-
an. and his brotnef, Supreme
Court Justice Main, who came
down from Olympia, to sit thru
the trial.
In examining witnesses Prose-
cutting Attorney Allen questioned
at considerable length on the
feeling of each successive venire-
man toward circumstantial EVIL
dence.
Suppose" he said in nearly
every case, that all the evidence
presented in this case by the state
should happen to be ciroumstan-
tial instead of direct evidence,
would you hesitate about convict
ing the defendant If the evidence
given was such as to convince you
beyond reasonable doubt that
he is guilty."
The usual answer was mo"
Some of the veniremen, however,
said the circumstantial evidence
would have to be convincing be-
fore they would vote for convic-
ton.

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. As people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel moro
quickly.
1t Is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective,
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. It costs only
fifty cents a bottle, and should be
in every family medicine chest.
A trial bottle, FREQ of charge,
