STATE OPENS CASE
IN TRIAL OF SEAY
Judge 0verruIes Motion For
Change of venue-First
Witnesses Heard

Florence, September 1s.--(Special.)
When court reconvened at 1880 p. mr..
today in the second trial of r. White
Seay for the murder of his wife,
Judge G. p. Almon announced that
the court would override the motion
for a change of venue and the seiec-
ton of a jury to try the case was i'm
mediately made.
All IL of the jurors are farmers.
A. M. Lamar and Mack Haddock,
former neighbors of the Seays, were
the first state witnesses examined.
Their testimony was the same as that
given at the first trial here in June,
1921.
Following their testimony that of
J. j. Easlinger, deceased, was read
into the record. Then came Mr.. and
Mrs. C. r. Fielder, undertatkers, who
prepared the body of Mrs. Seay for
burial.
Cross examination of the five state
witnesses by counsel for defense was
waived, as they are making no effort
to prove the crime was not committed
by the defendant, their plea being
based solely upon insanity.
The court room was crowded with
Interested spectators long before the
hour of the trial arrived and from
the appearance OF those in attend
ance the case is of human .ppeal
in ali walks OF life.
Perfect order prevailed and the
only time there was the slightest
commotion was when the defend

of Sheriff Morrison and Chief Dep
uty Davis.
The supreme court reversed the
finding OF the lower court at the
first trial. at which time Seay was

not secure adequate publicity in his
campaign against the federal re-
serve system, Albert W. Fox writes
in the Washington Post and certain
New York newspapers the following
explanation:
THE senator from Alabama for the
last few days has been calling at
tention to the fact that the newspaper
men in the press gallery leave their
seats and 'scurry away as soon as
he starts to speak. He believes the
influence of Wall street accounts for
this and also accounts for the fact
that his speeches are not given pu-
blicity.
AS far as can be ascertained there
is no disposition to minimize the I'm
portance OF the senator's speeches,
hut the news value of them in this
case has admittedly been dulled by
the fact that the senator from Ala
hama has said virtually the same
thing over and again for months.
TN other words, the campaign he
As waging has remained one-man
campaign, featured only by reitera
ton of the charges upon which It IS
founded. Thus, when tho familiar
phrases are recognized the members
OF the press gallery withdraw until
the speech Is concluded, and this
seemingly has given Senator Heflin
the impression that there Is some
conspiracy in Wall street to deny
him the publicity to which senator's

The entire morning session was
taken up in drawing a jury, swearing

rot guilty.
The Monroe Hill case was called
to trial last February and was con-
tinued on account of absence Of
numerous witnesses.
A large number OF those sum-
moned as jurors were disqualified to-
Cay for their disbelief in capital
punishment, while others were dis
qualified on grounds of having form
ed opinions and expressed their sem
timents regarding the case.

here and will assist attorneys Festus
