SELECTED
Defendant and Fiance Sit
Side by Side as Hear
ing Opens.

Nine jurors had been selected to dc.
eide the fate of pretty 24-year-old
Suzanne Crawford. charged with the
murder of her cx-husband, Charles NJ.
Crawford. whom she had twice di-
vorced. when the Ninety-fourth Dis
trict Court adjourned for lunch Thurs
day.
Seven of the jurymen were accept
cd bp the defense during the morning
session only after they had the rather
dramatic scrutiny and okeh of the
defendant.
The Jurors selected at present arc
Arthur Rosenberg. public accountant;
r. NJ. Salinas. barber: James Clark,
engineer: W. G. Hand. farmer; Ar
thur G. Scherrer. butcher; c. G.
Ruiz, furniture repair man; Sam
Mask, painting contractor; Carlos
Lieck, bookkceper, and Otto F. Raaz,
accountant. They are named in the
order of their selection.
SUZANNE HAPPY.
Suzanne appeared happy in court.
She laughed and joked with her at
torneys. Dave Watson, her chief coun-
sci, sat alta her right and Prentice NJ.
Henley, re fiance. at her left.
Henley appeared weary and wan
when he entered the courtroom. He
frightened later and spent part of the
time reading a newspaper colOred
comic section.
Once he drew the attention of Su-
zanne to the comics. They both read,
with their heads close together. Both
laughed softly but heartily.
PICKS JURORS.
That the defendant had the last
word as to the selection of those that
would later decide her fate became
more and more evident as the trial
proceeded.
She took an exceedingly active part
in the proceedings pressing Attorney
Watson to ask the veniremen certain
questions. The attorney never gave
his acceptance until she nodded her
assent.
When court adjourned at noon IS
veniremen had been questioned. At
the time the state had used four of its
10 peremptory challenges and the de-
Tense six.
1t appeared that a jury would be
selected before court adjourned at D

EDUCATIONAL
CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED
Plants Will Be Taken to
People by Means Of
Displays

San Antonians are to learn the
truth of the city's industrial life.
To learn this, instead of the people
going to the factories, the factories
will be taken to the people.
The first steps in this direction
were taken when members of the San
Antonio Manufacturers Association
held their twelfth annual banquet at
the Gunter Hotel.
A surprise promised for the meeting
proved to be n scheme evolved by @. c.
Leel, secretary of the association, to
convince the people of the city what is
really here in the way of factories, and
to instill into them a confidence in its
industrial possibilities.
PRESENTS DISPLAYS.
Unknown to the manufacturers
themselves, Mr.. Leel had prepared
100 novel display cases, each of which
shows the products of the factory it
represents.
Many San Antonians, Mr.. Leel
said, suffer from an inferiority COM
pick, lacking the necessary faith in
the city.
Some who have not made a study
of the city's industrial side. he said,
are of the belief that there are about
30 factories here.
Because it is impractical to take all
of the people through the factories,
Mr.. Leel proposes, through his plan,
to take the factories to the people.
WORK TO BE CONTINUED.
Converting two of the rooms of his
home into a workshop, Mr.. Leel has
been working for the last four months
making the present 100 displays.
Each is in a white wooden box,
IS by 20 inches in size and four
inches deep, covered with glass. In
them are shown the finished products
and when possible with photographs,
tie process of manufacture.
The work will be continued, Mr..
Leel said, until each of the 600 fac
tories of the city is represented in
the display. A case will be made
for each factory, regardless of mem
bership in the association.
When completed, the display not
only will be 100 per cent efficient
as a practical method Of advertising,
but will also be an argument as to
the city's industrial importance that
cannot be disputed.
HIGH SCHOOL DISPLAYS.
The completed exhibit will be shown
in the high schools and at all of the
civic and industrial clubs of the city.
Later it is planned, Mr.. Leel said,
to take it to the county fairs of San
Antonio's trade territory.
More than 100 business men of the
city attended the meeting. Reports
showed the association is just clos
