bandits was delayed in criminal
court today until Wednesday, in Or
der that the state might substitute
a robbery indictment for bank
robbery charge.
Ira M. Holmes, defense counsel

venue and a jury trial.
Reason for changing the indict-
ment was that under the bank rob-

the men from ten years to life,

Judge fixes the term of sentence,
maximum of which is twenty-five
years, which the state will ask.

eff everyone at that party
that night had been arrested
instead of just us five, Kirk
land would have been the only
one accused of the murder"
the boys told a reporter from
the Gary Post-Tribune.
The three claim Kirkland further
deliberately involved them by lying
to Gary police after the arrests, and
declare that he was proud of hav-
ing been charged with murder,
Boosting: why, this will give us
more publicity than Loeb and Leo
pold got"
Jury Nearly Finished
Meanwhile, in Valparaiso today,
prospects for completing the jury to
try young Kirkland and the second
time were bright. Eleven jurors had
been seated.
Kirkland asked a new trial after
the first jury found him guilty of
first degree murder, and life SEN
tence was passed. He now is being
tried on charge of murder after
criminal assault, conviction on
which makes the death penalty
mandatory.
I'VE can't understand why the
state never has called us to testify"
Shirk told the reporter.
Prosecutor John Underwood, dis
recting the case against young
Kirkland, was uncertain, after hear
ing the charges Of the three youths,
whether he would place them on
the Stand.
Would Free Trio
To do SO perhaps would result in
their freedom, either by acquittal or
by virtue Of having turned states
evidence.
In the first trial Kirkland said he
loved Arlene, would not have
harmed her, and even tried to
marry her a few weeks before the
tragedy.
AS Told by the Gary Reporter
Shirk's version of this story TODAY
differed from Kirkland's.
THE night he tried to get Babe
to marry him, he and another
couple, and my wife were drinking,
came late, because I was playing
basketball. We got some more
home brew, and then Virgil said.
Let's go to Valparaiso.
Asked Girl to Wed
1--WE drove down there, and went
to the courthouse. Virgil asked
Babe to go in and marry him, and
she wouldn't. Then he tried to
force her, but I made them go back
home. After that, Virgil was sore
at Babe"
IF had knokn Kirkland was
coming to my party, I'd not have
had it," said Thompson.
Kirkland's trial in Porter circuit
court may be broadcast. Represen-
tatives Of one large Chicago radio

Jury Hard to Get
Process Of selecting the jury has
continued almost three weeks, with
exhaustion Of six venires, and finally
with draft of prospective jurors
from persons selected at random
on the streets Of the city.
Thompson, Shirk and Barton
begged for the chance to go to Val
paraiso and tell their stories to the
jury.
I'VE hear that Virgil has been
pretty cocky," Thompson said. IF
they do let us go down to Valparaiso
to testify against him; as we want to
do, he'd lose his pose"
