Examination of prospective jurors
also forecast the trial plan Of prose-
cution and defense. The State stressed
hanging on circumstantial evidence !;
the defense made prominent the tes-
timony of an accomplice, relying on
breaking down Faiman's story.
One venireman was asked by Shep-
herds counsel If prejudice would re-

does not act as a witness in his own
behalf.
Shepherd and his wife. after their
first affectionate greeting, were not
permitted to remain together at the
opening of the trial. She was given a
seat across the aisle. Both expressed
qualification that the trial was under
way and Shepherd hoped it would be
hurried through.
