TWO SEATED AS
JURORS TO PASS.
ON SNYDER CASE
Woman Defendant Aids in
Selection of Second
Member of Panel.
BY Paul W. White,

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y,
April 20.-Half an hour after court
opened today one more juror was
passed for the murder trial of Ruth
Snyder, chilly blonde, and Henry
Judd Gray, the dark.halred corset
salesman, accused Of killing Albert
Snyder's husband.
Charles B. Meissner, a landscape
gardener of Springfield, l.. l., was
passed to join William z. Young,
publicity man, the only other tales
man passed as satisfactory to both
sides since the trial began Monday
morning.
Meissner Is a large, we'll built
man, As, and married. His hair is
thinning and he wears light trimmed
spectacles.
Mrs. Snyder had a part in the
final selection of Meissner. While
her chief attorney of record, Edgar
Hazleton, was examining Meissner
she told another of the counsel that
the talesman was satisfactory to
her. Meissner was the second tales
man out Of ninety-one questioned
in three days, who was satisfactory.
Sc Talesmen Rejected
Eighty-seven talesmen had passed
in review before Justic Scudder and
the attorneys, and eighty-six had
joined the big parade out the door of
the courtroom and back to their jobs,
when court adjourned late yesterday.
Fifty were rejected Monday and thir-
ty-siX yesterday. Sixty-seven were
challenged for cause and nineteen
fell before peremptory challenges.
Mrs. Snyder's counsel had twenty
one peremptory challenges left;
Gray's twenty-four, and the State,
the search for eleven more jurors
would take the rest of the week and
possibly much longer.
Only 161 talesmen remained un-
called-enough, at the previous rate,
to furnish two more jurors. Hopes
are expressed, however, that as
peremptory challenges left to each
attorney decreased. a large percent
age of talesmen would prove ac-
ceptable.
Sessions Lengthened
Court will sit until p. M. tonight
instead of adjourning at the regular
hour Of a, and an hour later each
night until the jury is completed,
Justice Scudder announced.
Only five of the talesmen rejected
yesterday were ruled out because of
objections to the death penalty. The
others said they were prejudiced or
in similar fashion made themselves
ineligible.
Both Mrs. Snyder and Gray main
tained their poise and calm through
yesterdays ordeal, although the
woman seemed less alert and vi.
vacious than on the opening day.
They continued to avoid each other,
showing not the slightest sign of rec,
ognition, although they admit they
once were lovers

PROVIDES AFFIDAVITS
June 81 Said to Be Limit for
Starting Action.

| Even if prosecution of the con-
! tempt Of court bribery charges
against James Z. Armitage should
prevent the present grand jury from
returning indictments in it's probe of
Indiana political corruption, an act
of the last Legislature will permit
Prosecutor William II. Remy TO
start criminal action, should he de-
sire, attorneys said today.
Armitage, brother of William II.
Armitage, political boss of the Shank
administration, has been cited by
Judge James A. Collins to appear in
Criminal Court Thursday at 9 a. M,
to answer contempt charges. The
charges are based on affidavit of
Grand Juror Claude A. Achey, that
Armitage offered him "$2.600 and
job" to vote against indictment of
Mayor Duvall.
Collins adjourned the grand jury
pending prosecution of the charges
against Armitage instead of dis
missing the jury as Remy asked.
Under old statutes a prosecutor
was not permitted to file charges by
affidavit while a grand jury was in
session. Judge Collins returned thir
ty-four aflidavits filed Saturday by
the prosecutors office.
In Effect Soon
rrI,o ,,o,.y cta+,ta bov-a,-or O-IicI,
will go into effect when the acts of
the 1927 Legislature are published,
expected in a few days, permits the
prosecutor to start criminal action
even though jury is in session.
If the Armitage case hangs on and
new jury is not selected by June
81, Remy will be able to file affidavits
if he desires, it is said.
June 81 is said to be the date when
the statutes of limitations would
make invalid action on some OF the
alleged criminal acts investigated by
the jury.
Another Conference
Remy and John w. Hoffman and
EInStSy w. JOlHSOll, SptCldl uSpuly
prosecutors. conferred again this
morning on the procedure to be
followed tomorrow at the Armitage
hearing.
Grand Juror Achey and William
II. Freeman, board of works member
during Mayor Shank's administra-
ton, were with the prosecutors for
time.
Remy declared the case would be
prosecuted even if Armitage enters
general denial. He had denied the
charges of Achey. Some attorneys
contend filing of a general denial
would end the contempt charge and
that Remy's only recourse would be
prosecution on perjury charge.

 P. F. O'keefe in his report for the recreational resources commit tee declared that to please the many it is first necessary to please the in- dividual and vice versa. He said that in certain lines, it was impossi- ble to boost New England but that in others, notably the railroads, great things could be accomplished the fact that New England laundries advertise. not the individual laundry but the benefits of having clothes laundered at public laundry and that in this way, both the individual laundry and the laundries collective ly, benefited. This same form of advertising can be used in boosting New England he declared. No mat ter which state attracts the people the entire six states benefit he de- clared.

New Haven Travelling
 Public Is Handicanped

New Haven, Dec. 16 P)-A rain and slcct storm which gripped New Haven today made travelling mis- erable but had not caused any se- rious accidents at noon. The pave ments were like glass and pedes- trians were proceeding in an ex- ceodingly wary manner throughout the morning. Autom obiles not equipped with skid chains showed a desired inclination to ramble all over the road and the drivers who ordinarily attempt to "beat the traffic lights" slowed down in the interests of their own health if for no other reason.

 "Get Out and Get Business
 Get out get the business" was the recommendation of Daniels for the committee on industrial develop plent.

 The recent floods were bad but they might have been worse accord ing to Walter Wyman, reporting for the power committee on proposed study of river control. Had the food taken certain other courses which it might have, the flow of water would have been five times greater than the normal volume of Niagara, he declared.
 Nothing could wake up the people Of New England to the necessity for adequate control of its rivers more than the flood and the consequent damage, MT. Wyman said, and added that probable steps would be taken to improve conditions before the section was again faced with such disastrous occurrence.
