JURY COMPLETED
 FOR THE TRIAL OF. CLARA SMITH RAMON
Defense Will Claim That Pistol Held By Girl Went Off When Hamon Struck Her
 With a Chair
By Associated Press

 hours and fifty minutes time and ex- animation of 49 veniremen were sui ficient today to obtain jury for the trial of Clara Smith Hamon, charged with the murder of Jake l.. Hamon, reputed millionaire oil and railroad man, republican national committee man from Oklahoma.
 Clara Hamon, neatly attired in a blue tailored suit, interestedly watched the selection of the IF men who will determine whether she fired the shot which resulted in the death of Mir. Hamon, or whether the pistol she held in her hand was discharged when he struck her with chair, as the de- fense will claim.
 She held numerous whispered com ferences with her attorney as the ve- niremen were examined. Clara Hamon was turned half around in her chair talking over her shoulder when Mrs. Jake L. Hamon. widow of the man Clara is charged with killing, entered the court room with her father, 1s year-old Jake l.. Jr., and 14year- old daughter, Olive Belle. Mrs. Jake Hamon had taken a seat directly op- posite Clara Hamon at the same table, when the younger woman turned again toward the jury box and saw the wid- ow and children. Clara Hamon's face did not betray any recognition.
 EXPECT RAPID PROGRESS
 Defense counsel tonight predicted that since the jury had been obtained so unexpectedly, all testimony in the ease would be in by Saturday night, provided an afternoon session be held Saturday.
 Upon adjournment of court after the jurors had been sworn, by unanimous agreement of defense and state coun- sel the jury was directed to go tomor- row morning to the hotel where Jake l., Hamon and Clara Smith Hamon for several years occupied rooms, and in which Hamon was shot, The defense stipulated that the furniture and fur nishings of the suite should be placed as nearly as possible in the same order as on the evening on which MT. Hamon was shot with the notation that an ob lection to the jury viewing the room would be entered unless it was possi ble to arrange the rooms almost iden- tieally as they were on the night of November 21 last.
 After the jury goes to the hotel court will reconvene at 9;30, and pre- sentation of testimony begun
