ACCEPT JURORS
IN MURDER CASE
Panel of IL Men TO Decide Fate Of
Arthur Miller Completed To-
day in Circuit Court
SOON READY FOR EVIDENCE
Man Under Charge Of Staying Rock
Island PaWnbrOker Takes
Matter as Joke.

At noon today eight jurors of the
2 who are TO decide the fate of
Arthur Miller, alias James Ellis
worth, on trial in circuit court for
the murder of Jacob Schaul, Rock
Island paWnbroker, had been &C
cepted by both the state and de-
Tense.
Examination of the four needed
to complete the panel was begun
before Judge w. T. Church when
court convened at 1880 this after
noon.
Spectators who are following the
case are asking such questions as
these:
Will Miller take the stand in his
own behalf?
Can he produce the two witnesses
which he maintained he could bring
forth, namely, Eddie Webster OF
Los Angeles. Cal, and Frank John
son of Peoria?
Il these Witnesses are produced
and take the stand for the defense,
can they prove Miller innocent Of
the murder Of Schaul?
Will the attorneys for the de-
Tense, B. F. Schriver and T. p. Sin
nett, concentrate their efforts 10
wards proving the defendant guilt
less of the crime charged or will
they center their combined attack
In an attempt TO obtain mitigate
of punishment, In view of the fact
that the state will ask that the
death penalty be imposed?
VIII the defense be able to prove.
as undoubtedly will be attempted,
that Schaul was what is known in
the underworld as fence" in
other words, one who knowingly re-
ceives stolen property for disposal.
p0cketing the bigger PORTION Of the
proceeds?
These are chief amor he guess
tions over which those interested
in the case are puZzling. Accord
ing to States Attorney Floyd T.
Thompson a more perfect web of
discriminating evidence has never
been woven about any defendant in
2 murder case in this county, not
barring that against Will Carter,
negro. hanged here about a year
ago for the Staying Of Peter Jelvik.
Laughs and Jests in Court
During court proceedings Miller
appears unmOved, laughing and
Joking with deputy sheriffs and mis-
attorneys When in the eXamtna-
ton by the states attorney of the
first prospective juryman the pros
ecutof asked if the venireman had
any conscientious scruples against
the inhIction of capital punishment,
the alleged slayer betrayed no emo
ton other than a smile.
Since proceedings in the case be-
gan the mother and sister of the
accused man have been in constant
attendance. When the ominous
question regarding the death pen
atty was asked by the states at
torney each finched noticeably, and
the chin of the mother luivered and
tears filled her eyes.
Indications are that selection Of
the remaining jurors will be COM
Dleted before court adjourns this
afternoon.

BIGGEST PURSE IN
PRIZE RING HISTORY

Tex Richard had made a little mem
orandum of his likely expenses fer
the fight and found that the outlay
would total something like 100000,
aWith provision for building an arena
md paving the war and state taxes il
tsuch charges must be met. RicSard
said that he intended to pay fhe fed
eral and state taxes on admissions
himself, and that he had decided to
check off $4,000 for that purpose. The
tOtaI-$202 000-loOks like a stupen-
6ous sum. but Richard knows what
he is doing. he ran the Jeffries-
johnson tight IN Reno in 1910. and he
made quite a cleanup. Though the
bout was staged away out in Nevada
in the heat of July the gate receipts
totalled $2I0,775, out of which the
fighters got $121,000. Richard figure S
that if that encounter attracted so
huge a gate a Willard Dempsey fight
should draw at least 100000. He
knows that the dollar has deprecated
greatly since 1910, anS that in giving
Willard and Dempsey a total Of $127. :
