Prosecutor Hopes Box viii

VALPARAISO, Ind, May Z. -
Rapid progress was made today to-
ward completion of a jury to try
Virgil kirkland, 20-year-old ath-
lete, on charges of killing Arlene
braves, his 18-year-old sweetheart,
during drinking party at Gary
last winter.
Both prosecution and defense
were hopeful Of obtaining by night
fall twelve persons, without preju-
dice, willing to vote the death PEN
atty under the law and at the same
time given kirkland the benefit Of
any doubt.
Although ten men had been ex-
cused during the morning hearing,
seven others had been accepted by
the state and faced only question
ing by the defense before admit
lance to the box.
Prosecutor John Underwood ex-
pressed satisfaction at the progress
made during the session and SAID
it "is not unlikely that the jury will
be completed before night.
OF the ten men excused from
the courtroom, two were eliminated
by state peremptory challenges, and
three by Judge Grant Crumpacker.
The request Of Oliver Green, 50,
that he be excused from jurY duty
on account of age was denied by
Judge Crumpacker, and the man,
apparently hard of hearing, was to
be examined by the defense this
afternoon.
Possibility of a jury drawn from
persons in the corridors and on the
streets of Valparaiso, which Judge
Crumpacker had authorized Sheriff
Burney Maxwell to select, dimin-
ished when tentative selection of
the jury moved at fast pace dur
ing the morning.

also urged curtailment of agri-

tective tariffs only have aggravated
the crisis, by increasing production.
