TO TESTIFY TODAY
Testimony Will Begin as Soon
as Four Remaining Jurors
Are Picked.

By the Associated Press
AUSTIN, Tex, January 13.-Selec-
ton of the jury for the murder trial
IF Rev. j. Frank Norris probably will
AXE more time than required for the
State to present its evidence, prosecu-
ton attorneys indicated with eight of
the panel accepted today following two
days of grilling on religion, secret or
ders, self-protection and scruples
against the death penalty.
Prosecution attorneys revealed that
four witnesses will furnish most Of
the testimony in the States effort to
prove that the Fort Worth Baptist
pastor shot and killed Dexter f.
Chips as the wealthy lumberman en-
tered DR.. Norris office to protest at.
tacks in the church publication
against Mayor H. c. Meacham of Fort
Worth.
Judge Will Testify.
Judge Dave Shannon of Forth
Worth, who conducted an inquest fol-
lowing the Staying July II last, and
o. W. Phillips, an undertaken, are ex-
pected to be the first witnesses called
by the State to tell of the location of
the three bullets that. took effect.
These men are expected to testify
that Chips apparently was retreating
from the study when he was shot.
A policeman and one other person
who inspected the study shortly after
the shooting comprise the rest of the
star prosecution witnesses. Numer
Gus character witnesses have been
called, including Chips widow.
Counsel for DIR. Norris contend that
Chips was shot when the pastor
feared the lumberman was about to
attack him, and in the examination
of veniremen they have featured ''the
law of apparent danger" indicating
hopes for acquittal will be based
largely on this phase of the anMounced
self-defense plea.
More Jurors Accepted.
Only three jurors were accepted
yesterday as compared to five the first
day. The State has used 8 of its Is
peremptory challenges and the de-
Tense 4.
The jurors accepted include a
butcher, a blacksmith, two laborers,
dairyman, former sheriff, me-
chanic and a retired merchant. APP
proximately 100 of the 300 persons
called for jury duty have been excused
and nearly twoseore put through long
examinations.
Attorneys for both sides announced
they hoped the first witness could take
the stand today.
