Little Progress in
Selecting Jury in
Trial of Shepherd

Chicago, June 4-(AP)-The pro-
secution was forced to exhaust two
more peremptory challenges today
to prevent the second panel of four
jurors. apparently too pleasing to the
defense, being sworn in the Sheherd
trial. The state has only nine
peremptory challenges left, while the
defense has used but three of Its
score.
The net gain of the day was one
venireman apparently acceptable to
both sides. In the jury box at adj
journment were four sworn jurors,
three tentatively accepted by both
prosecution and defense, one Ques-
toned briefly by the state and four
who had not been examined.
