while.

former policeman; the Rev, George
S. Hennniger, pastor of the East

rion County Klan cyclops.
Practically all those examined had
read of the case and a number had
based positive opinions upon what
they read. These were Immediately
excused.
Bedford Is Present
While the questioning was pro-
ceeding and almost as his name was
mentioned, Bedford came into the
courtroom and worked his way to a
place near the front.

the first talespnan examined. He was

Talesman Otto Buescher, gard
ener, r. R. /, Box 46, temporarily
was passed. He said he did not
know Duvau when Ryan pointed to
the mayor, saying:
"Duvall is the man with the straw
hat and necktie.''
Another business man was
checked off the jury list when G..
A. Sander of Sander and Rocker,
furniture dealers, declared he did
not believe he could be swayed from
an opinion.
Questioned About Reading
Ryan, defense iaquisitor, ques-
toned prospective jurors closely as
to how much they had read in
newspapers concerning the case.
During the questioning he repeated
the phrase, newspapers purport to
give facts"
Ryan was sustained by Judge
Shirley in an objection he raised,
when Remy commented, ANY per-
son who doesn't form opinions about
what he reads and talks about it is
fool"
Remy made the statement when
Ryan asked E. E. Flickinger, 712

fected by what he read. Flickinger
was excused for cause.

DV OUttCU fFCdo
-STREATOR, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-Harry
Hill was taken early today to the
grave in the basement of his home
where the body of his murdered
mother was found and was forced to
go through actions he might have
followed if he committed the crime.
He confessed nothing, but cursed
his captors for bringing him to the
house.
Hill arrived in Ottawa early this
morning after a narrowing trip
across the continent by train and
automobile. Shortly before daylight
he was taken from the jail. With
States Attorney arssell Q. Hansen.
Chief of Police Robb aaa other Off
GERS, he went to the large house
which has stood desIrted since the
body was found almost month ago.
Hill was led down the dark cellar
stairs to the place in the corner of
the basement where the pavement
had been removed and his mother
buried. y
Grimly Handles Shovel
He looked at the shallow hole
silently. Then a deputy handed
him a shovel. He was pushed for
ward and told to dig in there"
He turned a shovel full of earth
reluctantly, then put the shovel
down.
= SIS that the way you did it?"
States Attorney Hansen asked him.
"I told you I wouldn't say any,
thing until the time came" Hill
barked back.
More 'prodding" by the officers
failed to bring the confession they
had hoped might result from the
nocturnal visit.
sssa ID DaubIe' Preceded Him
Utmost secrecy was used by po-
lice to guard HIPS movements.
When he was taken from the Jail
and when he entered, a man dressed
similarly would precede him and
go in another direction.
Only newspaper men and a few
curiosity seekers had remained up
to witness his arrival in Ottawa
during the night.
Hill talked freely of everything
but the crime. He was pale and
smoked continuously.
Ottawa is about twenty miles
from Streator. Mrs. Hills body was
found by DR.. Hill, her divorced hus-
band.
The following day, young Hill
disappeared in Chicago. He was
arrested last week in Seattle and
admitted his identity.
