Prosecutor Alling As

Of Execution Will Not
Be Brought Into This
Case.
First Day Brings Clashes
of Lawyers-Number OF
Talesmen Are Excused
From Serving on Panel.

Courthouse, Litchfeld. Conn,
Nov. 3.-"lhe death penalty
will not be asked by the state
in the retrial of Olympia Macri,
charged with first degree mur-
der, which began here today, it
was announced by States At
torney Alling.
This remark was intimated
during the examination Of
Clayton H. Deming, of Cole
brook, the fourth talesman
called, who was challenged by
the defense after a lengthy ex-
animation.
During the examination of
Harmon w. Treat of Bridge
water, who followed Mr.. Dem
ing, Mr.. Alling definitely stat
ed that the state would not
claim first degree murder. This
was brought out when Kolet-
sky asked Mr.. Treat the ques-
tion concerning conscientious
scruples against the death pen
atty he had put to Mr.. Dem
ing.
When the states attorney
objected to the question, the
judge brought out the inten-
ton of the state when he asked
if the states attorney meant
he would not make the claim to
first degree murder.
Three talesmen had been eS.
amined previous to the calling
of Mr.. Deming and had been
excused by the state and the
court.
Alling Interrupts
Mr.. Koletsky asked Mr.
Deming, the first talesman he
had examined, if he had any
conscientious scruples against
the enforcement of the death
penalty. Before he could an
swer, Mr.. Alling interrupted
with 81 do not think that that

Mr.. Koletsky in his exam

overruled a number of times in
his questions which We're OBJ
iected to by the state. The
court several times clarified the
questions as put by Mr.. Kolet-
sky so that they could be an
swered.
Indications are that the ex-
animation of talesmen will be
a long process. Six and one
half days were required to Sc
lect the jury at the first trial.
