Exhibit of Canvass
'CGSkeP in Court.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. PA faint
but obnoxious odOr permeated the court
room of Judge Willis today when a
heavy, soiled canvass was unroIed and
spread before a jury which Is weighing
the fate of Mrs. Lofie Louise Peete,
charged with the murder Of Jacob G.
Denton, wealthy broker The canvass
had held the supposed body Of Denton
while it reposed for three months in a
wooden vault covered with dirt in the
basement of his home. Spectators, law
yers and jurors craned their necks.
| There was a distinct buzz and many
gasps.
The display of the nodded canvass bad
no perceptlble effect on Mrs. Peete She
gazed at 1t calmly without even a flicker
of an eye. The canvass "casket" was
introduced in the evidence by the prose
cutiOn when Earl Platt, undertaken, was
on the witnes stand describing how the
body was prepared" by the murderer
for its secret tomb.
District Attorney Woolwine announced
before the opening Of the session his ID
tention to use first as witnesses those who
were familiar with Denton's life and ap-
pearance and who had identified the body
found in a secret basement crypt in ms
paIatial home as that Of the rich mining
mSn.
When Woolwine outlined his accusa-
tions against Mrs Peete, dwelling par
ticulariy on the allegation that she had
masqueEaded as DentOu's wife and
bought $500 worth Of gowns at a Los
Angeles department store after the muir
der, the defendant folded her arms and
sat back In her chair IN cold spirit of
defiance.
After Woolwine had fayed Mrs. Peete.

FARMERS DOWN
BILL TO CHANGE
JURY CHOOSING
House Fight Precipitated
When Barker Brings in
Minority Report.
CLASS ACTION CHARGED

Representative r. U. Barker, Posey
County launched the House into a
lengthy debate today when he returned
a minority report from Judiciary 4 Com
mittee, signed solely by himself on House
bill No. SO, providing a new method OF
selecting grand and petit jurors. Rep
resentative Barker, who disa pprOved Of
the proposed act. was supported by the
farmer members of the House and won
his fight.
The bill was dubbed, during the de
bate, as designed to keep farmers of of
Juries. Denial was vigorously entered
by supporters OF the majority report,
which favored passage of the measure.
The bill would change the present
method of selecting jurors by district
to selection of jurors in accordance to
population.
Representative Charles W. Harlan,
kosciusko County, asked Representative
Chester A. Davis. Jay County, chairman
Of Judiciary A Committee, If there was
a widespread demand for the passage Of
the bill Mr.. Davis replied there was
not.
TEST OF FARMERS
ORGANIZATION.
A call to see what sort Of an organ
ization the farmers have was made when
the farmer members were asked Ia SUP
port the minority report. 1t was charged
by the farmers that the bill would re-
suit in a majority Of the citizens Of
cities being selected for jury service to
the exclusion OF the rural Inhabitants.
This argument was refuted by Lake
aud Marion County representatives,
Representative Albert E. Shugart, Grant
County, in his maiden speech in the
House, declared the farmer was opposed
to the bill
Attempts to choke debate on the re-
port were checked when eTor.s to move
the previous question were made. Repre-
sentative Oscar A. Ahlgren. Lake County,
denounced what he termed were orga-
nlzed efforts on the part OF farmers to
enact class Legislation.
AS the debate wore on 1t resolved IT
self into an argument between rural and
urban members Of the House. rather than
on the report OF the committee.
Representative Claude A. Smith, Gibson
County, took the gaveI when the previous
question was put. The minority report
was adopted by a vote Of 94 to 16
