 With but 90 Of the 30 talesmcr summoned examined and seven jur- ors selected, it appears as though the Jury would be selected from the first panel.
 Prospects Brighter
 After yesterdays dragging session < had been predicted that an addi- tional panel of talesmcn would be needed before q jury could be select ed. The work of selection started slowly this morning, six talesmen being examined before Herman r. sherman was selected as juror No. 2. Both sides moved swiftly after that however. and in quick success sion William E. Belknap. an elderly insurance man, Alfred Somborn, a teal estate dealer Joseph r. Calla- ! han, d contractor, George w. Oliver. a pubic accountant. and William A. Stephenson. an elderly business man. l were accepted as jurors. With the exception of Stephenson. Judge Charles [.

The courtroom was still closely guarded against the public today, only talesmen and newspaper report CTS being allowed within the court room. although there were many va cant seats as the panel of talesmen was thinned out.
 After four and a half hours of court session yesterday. during which 50 talesmcn were examined, only one had been selected.

 What the trial has lacked in color so far was made up this morning by Bridget Parry. Bellicose Park Cen tral chambcrmaid who was held in jail for several months as a material witness. She is out on bail at the present time.
 Bridgett, her 900 pounds draped in a brilliant nile green dress and her hair braided and hanging down her back, arrived shortly before the trial opened and took a seat in the corridor outside, there to hold court for the newspaper reporters. She was not allowed in the court room.
