"A new special venire for
the selection of a jury to try
d. c. Stephenson, Earl Klinck
and Earl Gentry, charged with
the murder of Miss Madge OBJ
erholtzer, %, of indianapolis,
loomed almost certain today.
When court adjourned at noon,
the defense had tentatively accepted
eight men. OF the twelve tentatively
acceptd by the State Monday after
brief interrogation. only three re-
mained in the box. OF these, two
have yet to undergo defense examin.
alton.
Eph Inman, chief defense counsel,
examined his twenty-ninth man
shortly before noon adjournment,
making a total of forty-one men
examined In all.
Calling of the new venire by
Special Judge viii M. Sparks of
Rushville was seen because of the
fact that almost four out of every
five talesmen examined by the de.
fense have admitted having preju.
dices or opinions.
When the defense finally accepts
twelve men, tentatively. the jury will
be passed back to the State for final
examination. Then comes final ex,
animation by the defense. After the
jury has been passed twice by both
sides, the trial probably will begin.

Trio Fidgets
Meanwhile, Stephenson and his
aids fidgeted at the long drawn.out
process of selecting the twelve men
who will hold their fate.
The State contends that the three
men are responsible for the death of
Miss Oberholtzer, because Of their
alleged refusal to secure medical at
tention for her after she had taken
poison. The State has indicated it
will ask death for the defendants.
Defense attorneys have indicated
they will attempt to show Miss
Oberholtzer's death was a case Of
suicide.

during the mOnOt0nOus morning
session, when he quizzed the pro-

ingtOn women, have appeared at
their homes to find out how the
talesmen stand on the case. The
men all said that nobody had ques.

Fred Harper, farmer, was passed
by 1nman. when he said he had no
prejudices in the case, although
Harper said he did not understand
the law about reasonable doubt
very well. Inman then passed on to
Herschel Hunter, another farmer.
II am afraid 1t would take evi-
dence to remove my opinion" said
Hunter, who said that he had read
accounts of the bail hearing in the
newspapers.
Inman Versus Inman
.Inman challenged the juror and
Judge Sparks excused him. The
chair was filled by w. o. Inman,
farmer, who was passed by the de-
fense.
In response TO the question, he
said that he had six children ranging
in age from a daughter of 22 to a
baby of three.
Have you any relatives in In.
