tion at Jimenez, Chihuahua.
In the west Gen. L. Cardenas

ing a concerted offensive against
the rebels in that state, threatening
to cut lines OF communication OF
General Gales main force in CEN
trail Mexico. The rebels in Jalisco
are commanded by Gen. A. Goro'
sieta and are holding several stra'
tegic towns.
General Almazan reported to
President Portes Gil that his avia'
tors were raising havoc with the
rebel forces at Jimenez by dropping
powerful bombs over the city.
In the West, the airplane was
also taking an active part in the
warfare between the opposinS
forces. In belated communication
to the president, General Carrillo,
federal commander at MaZatlan, de-
scribed a spectacular air battle be-
tween a federal and rebel plane
during the closing hours of the
siege of the city.

An unidentified rebel fller flew
over the city and Lieut.. Jorge
Llerenias, federal aviator, went up
to meet him. At 1000 feet the pair
of air.fighters met few miles east
of Mazatlan. For ten minutes they
whirled about each other exchang'
ing machine gun tusillades. Then
the rebel aviator beat a retreat
northward and suddenly swooped
down in a forced landing. Federal
troops later found his wrecked ma.
chine but the aviator apparently
escaped alive and rejoined his
forces.

JURY
|SNEARLY
FILLED

RICHMOND, Va, March
27.-With 19 of the required
20 veniremen accepted, the
trial of Mur'eE l.. Craig, 90,
charged with the murder of
William P. Liggon, 26, whose
widow he married less than a
month after Lfggon's death,
entered upon its second day in
Hastings Court today.
The twentieth Venireman was ex-
pected to be obtained without de-
lay, eight names are to be stricken.
four by the prosecution and an
equal number by the defense.
With the exhaustion of two
panels of 20 men each before the
noon recess yesterday and the jury
box a. little more than half filled,
adjournment until today was de-
cided upon. but when deputies,
under City Sergeant John G.
Saunders, quickly rounded up an
additional panel of 48 prospective
Jurors, the court and attorneys de.
termined upon an afternoon session.
with the result that seven more
names were added to the tenta'
tive jury that is TO decide the
fate of Craig.
-. Fixed Opinions
Some difficulty was experienced
in obtaining the necessary 20 men
from the first two panels because
of the fixed opinions Of those
examined as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused or because
of scruples against capital punish
ment. Smoother sailing was en-
countered at the afternoon session.
Craig, when arraigned yesterday,
pleaded not guilty to the murder
charge.
Efforts will be made 20 complete
most of the taking Of testimony
today. Upwards of 80 witnesses
were recognized yesterday morning
fo~ their appearance today. Ind.
cations pointed to a trial for several
days, although the court and coun-
SCI for the opposing sides hoped to
have the bulk of the testimony a1d
evidence in before court adjourns
today.
Present Jury Panel ,'
The incompleted jury panel is as
follows: Roy e. Horton, J. Allen
Dattin, Writ c. Gillian, Bertrand
Tauman, John G. Whitehurst.
Lorenzo Hardesty. John A. Trs-
william, Basil W. Cole. Lawson p.
williams, Thomas J Turpin, Rus
sell S. Waymack, Charles H. VIA
ston, John W. Tyler, Chesley ..
Toney, Garland A. Williams, Ray.
mond H. Winburn, Matthew j.
fraser. Fred D. Utley and L.
Morris Warren.
According to the case of the
Commonwealth, Craig and Liggcn
were retrieving driftwood in a small
boat during a river freshet when
Craig is alleged to have struck his
companion over the head with .
blunt instrument. stunning him and
knocking him unconscious into the
river. The Commonwealth will
maintain that Craig was motivated
by intimacy with Mrs. Liggon and
desire to marry her in order TO
obtain Liggon's $4,000 life .insur.
ance. '...-
The defense is expected 10 contend
that the boat overturned in the swol-
len river, that Craig endeavored to
rescue Liggon. and that when the
latter seized him in grip that
dragged him beneath the surface Of
the water the accused. by strong
effort, regained the surface and,
seizing small piece Of wood, struck
Liggon to save his own life. Being
a good swimmer according to the
defense, he managed to keep aflp lpat
until rescued.
One oF the early witnesses today
will be Coroner James M. Whitfield.
