GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 2s.--
With preliminary skirmishing out of
the way in the trial of United States
Senator Truman H. Newberfy and his
assistants in federal court here on
vote fraud charges, jury selection was
expected to start today.
All prospective jurors and those
defendants from the northern penin-
sula who were snowbound yesterday
were present.
further delay through the illness of
James O. Murfin, of Detroit, one of
the chief Newberry attorneys.
Judge Clarence w. Sessions indi-
Gated he will not grant postpone
ment on account of illness except
the plea is unusual. Messages from
Murfin's physician today stated he
would not be able to attend court
until Saturday, at least.
The accused men presented the
appearance of a meeting OF business
men, rather than the usual court
room crowd. The majority were well
dressed, clean-cut business men. One
negro and one Indian were among
them.
Because of the great interest in the
trial and because of the extreme bit
terness Of the 1918 campaign, when
Newberry defeated Henry Ford for
the United States senate, the selec-
ton of a jury will probably extend
over several days.
