PICKING JURY
FOR RATLIFF
First Four Men Call.
ed In Bandit Case
Disqualified

EASTLAND, Tex, Jan. 19.@P=
Conscientious scruples against cap
ital punishment led to the disquali-
fication here today of the first four
veniremen examined in an attempt to
obtain q jury TO try Marshall Ratliff
for robbery with firearms in connec-
ton with the holdup Of the First Ma
tional Bank at Cisco on Dec. %.
The fifth, N. III. Mum, Nimrod
farmer, was passed by the district
attorney, but attorneys for Ratliff
brought out that he was in Cisco on
the day of the robbery.
did you hear shots fired at the
bank?" he was asked.
"Yes."
"What did you do them"
Nothing"
The spectators laughed, and Mum
was challenged by the defense when
he said he had formed an opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANT. District Judge Davenport
overruled the challenge.
Under further questioning, Mum
said he was a friend of G. 4. Bed
ford, Cisco police chief, slain in the
gun battle following the robbery, but
that he could give Ratliff a fair and
impartial trial. He later said he saw
the bandit automobile as it speeded
away. State attorneys here declared
that the d~efense's challenge was
good. but the defense withdrew its
objection. "A preemptory challenge
then was used by the state, and Mum
was excused.
