1t Is Estimated That This Murder Case Will Probably Con- sume Two to Three Weeks Time.
If Panel Is Kept in Custody It Will Be First Time in This State-Would Mini mize Possibility of Mis- trial.

Hartford, March 14.-The jury se- lected to hear the evidence in the chapman murder trial will be Iock- ed up during the progress of the trial If an application to be made to the court by states attorney Hugh M. Alcorn is granted. If this is done It will probably be the first time In the history of the state that such a precaution has been taken for the full period of the trial.
 MT. Alcorn, when asked today as to the probability of asking the court for such an order relative to the custody of the jury, admitted that he is considering the matter, but whether the court would favor ply consider such an application could only be determined when the application is made.
 Never Before Asked
 So far as could be learned today there has been no instance in the state when such a request has been made of 8 court.
 If the application is granted the possibilities for mistrial will be very slight.
 It has been estimated that the trial of Chapman may extend through two and possibly three court weeks.

FIGHT EXPECTED ON
 CHAPMAN'S NEW MOVE
Alcorn Prepared to Oppose Petition for Change
 of Venue

That the people of this city and neighboring towns have become alarmed by the number of murders committed here and that this fact will affect the attitude of a fury when 1t is called upon to pass on the innocence or guilt of Gerald Chapman when he is arraigned be- fore Judge Newell Jennings in Su- perior court on charge of murder ing Patrolman James Skelly is one of the contentious of attorneys for Chapman in a motion for a change of venue. Judge Jennings set the time for hearing arguments on the motion for next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
 Judge Frederick J. Groehl of New York and c. w. Murphy of Danbury, counsel for Chapman, cali attention 10 the fact that in this city. during the past two years, three murders have been committed, and claim that as a result, & man charged with staying a policeman could not obtain an unprejudiced trial.
 Judge Groehl announced that he has issued warrants subpoenaing Of ficials of the "Herald", the Hartford "Courant" and Hartford Times, to testify at the hearing Tuesday re- garding their circulation figures and the territory in which their papers are SNd. Defense counsel will also call number of representative citi- zcns of Hartford county to testify as to whether or not they have formed opinions on Chapman's innocence or guilt. An attempt will be made to establish the fact that because Of the extensive circulation of the above three papers throughout the county and the fact that they have carried comprehensive stories about the murder of Patrolman Skelly and also of Chapman's alleged past ca reer Chapman would go to trial in Hartford county under a handicap.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn has announced that he will vigorous ly oppose the motion for a change of venue, and because the defense r. rcsortins to the unusual proccdur, of calling witnesses on such hear. ing, an involved legal battle is prom ised when the hearing takes place.
 The panel of 126 jurors, which will supplement the present panel oi 24, and from which the jury will bC selected to try Chapman if he comes before the Hartford court, was an nounced last night No jurors wer drawn from this city, the scene oi the crime, or from Hartford wherC the trial will be held. Other towns avoided in the drawing were Plain vile, Southington. suffield, States Attorney Alcorn's home town, Bris- tol. West Hartford. Hartland, Man chester, Bloomfield and Wethers- field.
 The panel follows:
 Berlin-James McPherson, Lewis P. Beckley, Ray Morse, Herbert W. Goodrich. Hobart l.. Honiss. Arthur E. Crandall, Arthur H. Bushnell.

 AFTER ATTACKING HIS WIFE
She Puts Up Terrific Fight for Her Life and Jumps From Second Story Win dow-Husband Victim of Nervous Collapse.

stratford. Conn. March 14.-Mrs Gertrude Klein wife of Charles F, Klein, Ss, of 10s Oakland street, is In a state of collapse as a result of her experience early today when she escaped from her husband who was attempting to choke her, by jump Ing from A second story window. The husband, who had become vio- lent while suffering from a nervous breakdown, cut his throat, dying al- most instantly.
 Son Goes to Rescue
 The room in which Klein attemnt- ed to kill hsi wife before committing slicide, presents horrifying specta- Gle this morning. The whole place gives visible evidence of the strug- gle Mrs. Klein made for her life, aided by one of her young sons who responded to her screams.
 When Patrolmen Victor Marcus and Fred Albright arrived at the scene about 1 o'clock this morning Mrs. Klein was unable to tell them what had happened. Later she gave Dr. Robert E. Phelan, the medical examiner an account Of the affair.
 Attacked by Husband
 Tt was around midnight" she said, when I was awakened by my husband who had been sick in bed with a nervous breakdown. He got up from bed and went over 10 the door to close it. asked him what he was closing the door for. He gave an answer in a peculiar voice and l was aroused. I got up and fixed the alarm clock. When I started back to bed he grabbed me by the throat and started to choke me. I tried to get away from him as felt my strength leaving me. We fought all over the room, upsetting the furniture.
 Jumps From Window
 Finally I succeeded in breaking away. I screamed in terror and my boy came running in. He tried to help me but my husband grabbed him too. The boy broke away and ran out calling for help. Then I succeeded in breaking away and jumping out of the window"
 A moment after his wife escaped Klein took his razor from the draw CT where he kept it and standing in front of the looking glass severed his jugular vein.
 Klein, before his breakdown, was a machinist employed in a Bridge port factory.
