w.
conce of the murser of Marion Par
ker.
Hickman has been given a jury
trial only on his plea of insanity.
Whether the legislature deprived
the defendant of his constitutions
right when it passed the present in
sanity law is a meritorious point
for the supreme court to decide.
The only other argument which
might possibly justify new tria
is contained in the defendants mo
tion in the section which sets out
that "the verdict has been decided
by lot and by means other than n
fair expression of opinion on the
part of all the jurors.'
This contention is without force
= hold, because:
1.-The only way to prove this is
by an affidavit of a juror, but un'
der the law juror cannot impeach
his own verdict.
2.-The jury in this case was
locked up during the entire course
of the trial and was under the strict
surveillance of officers. Thus no
one could communicate with the
Jurors with 4 view to influencing
their verdict.

(Contipued from page one)
lican leaders in Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Ohio and Kansas have
manifested q desire passively to re-
sist the Hoover movement.
Just how Hoover will fare in the
Ohio fight is a matter of conjecture.
Willis twice has been elected Sena-
tor since he was governor. He has
strong political following, whereas
Hoover has thus far only the nucle-
us of the opposition to Willis which
he hopes to build up.
If Hoover manages to take q
a third of the delegation away from
Willis his friends would be happy,
they say now. But they think he
has a good chance to get more.
There has been deep interest in
the suggestion that Mr.. Coolidge
must follow the custom of many
presidents and name some one to
carry on for him. Hoover's friends
believe he will be the man if the
president chooses to select any one.
Mr.. Coolidge himself has never
intimated what action he would
take.
To Remain on Job
In his letter Hoover did not spe-
cify which states other than Ohio
he would enter, but his friends said
he would surely go into the primar-
les of Michigan California, Oregon,
New Jersey, New Hampshire, Mary
land and perhaps some others.
He indicated he would continue
as secretary of commerce in the
Coolidge cabinet, and would not
make an active personal campaign
in Ohio.
The announcement brought five
prominent candidates into the strug
gle for the Republican nomination
Hoover, Lowden, Willis, Watson
and Curtis.
1t had long been awaited and
special significance was attached to
