Northcott Defense Loses
Move for Mixed Panel.

By United Press
RIVERSIDE, Cal, Jan. S.-Nor-
bert Savoy, chief of defense counsel
for Gordon Stewart Northcott, &C.
cused murder farm" slayer, aban-
doned today his attempt to place
women in the jury which will hear
Northcott's trial
Savay announced that when the
trial was resumed today he would
accept the twelve men impaneled
Monday.
Savay had argued vigorously to
dnseat a large number of alleged
"unfavorable" jurymen and replace
them with women. He. said he feared
the state intended to wait until he
had exhausted his twenty peremp-
tory challenges and then select its
own jury.
The state contested Savay's de-
mand on the ground the prosecution
would submit evidence of alleged
murder farm" abuse that would be
unfit for a woman to hear.
Savay challenged a special panel
of yeniremen, charging that Deputy
Sheriff Charles Worcester, who
served the subpoenaes. bore enmity
toward Northcott. The objection
was overruled by Superior Judg9
George r. Freeman after both
Northcott and Worcester had testi-
fed.
