COMPLETE JURY FUR
 NEWMAN TRIAL; WILL
 START CASE TO-DAY

A mixed jury of business men and farmers will decide the fate of ]. D. Newman the pioneer sheepman, who is charged with the murder of Frank Hector on the desert highway late last winter.
 The twelve men who will sit in the case were selected at o'clock last eve ming and were immediately placed in the custody of two bailiffs after being charged by the court not to discuss the case with each other. Judge Stanford further charged the jurors not to use the telephone nor read the newspaper accounts of the case.
 The jurors sworn in yesterday in clude J. c. Reed, Dean Woodward. Louis Cuber, Charles F. Mincks, Olie Barclay, Leo NJ Wadley, F. J. Halder- man, R.. ". Westover, George NJ. Arm strong, Fred Maier, W. A. Summons i and J. A. Wellington.
 Although the testimony will not be | taken before 9:90 o'clock this morning, i the sensational features have already | been forthcoming. After the jury re- l tired yesterday, George Purdy Bullard, 1 one of the counsel for the defense, ad- | dressed the court on the subject of the small daughter of Hoctor whose pres ence in the court room since the be- | ginning of the case has been noted by everyone connected with the case and | has drawn the attention of spectators { as well.
 Mir, BuIlard stated that he ap- preached his subject with delicacy but that he felt that he must enter pro- test against the presence of the little | girl, who was not there as witness nor to serve any other purpose except 1 to influence the jury. He called the | courts attention to the fact that the child was seated next to the jury raj and that he trusted the county attorney in his fairness would see that there was no necessity for that nor for repeti- ton of the exhibition given by Mrs Hector in the court yard in the view o the jury. The counsel referred to ar incident of the preceding day, Wher Mrs. Hoctor had burst into tears as sh' stood in the court house grounds afte remaining in the courtroom throghou the day. The attorney said that whii' he appreciated Mrs. Hoctor's feeling he felt that her actions and the child presence were prejudicial to his client interests.
 County Attorney Laney replied tha if was open court and it was tn privilege of anyone who cared to D present during the conduct of the case He said. that other problems, ne lei' would be solved as they developed an' that if counsel on both sides co-operat ] ed there was DO reason why the cas need not be tried in an orderly way
 Earlier in the day while the e&dni nation of the jury was in progress an other sensation was sprung when Nil RulIard asked A N. Smith, who ap neared in the courtroom to stand. Ii asked the jurors if any of them had ha 5 a talk with smith who is alleged | , be 2 special investigator for the Hoc tors, before or since they had been sum moned as jurors. There was genera denial ,,os+or
 There was but one challenge yester day when J. W. Jackson declared n
 had fixed opinion. The jury was SC lected in a surprisingly short tune ac
 cording to court attaches, who peileFe
 that it would require several days a
 least 10 select F unbiased men to s
 in the murder case. Only two men M Wer
 called to fill the old panel and thos
 finally selected are those who nay
 served jury duty this spring none
 the new panel being chosen.
