OF CERTAIN CHANNELS

Application to the U. S. en-
gineers office of the war depart
ment has been made by Norberg

make channels and have a con-
crete bulkhead or retaining wall

and depositing of the dredged
material as fill shoreward of the
concrete bulkhead.

mel will be dredged to q depth of
Ia feet and will have a 40

bulkhead and fill will be four feet
above mean low water.

day on trial for the murder of his
father, James Roberts, Sr. The
killing took place at Tavernier on
the morning of January 10, this
year.
Roberts wife and a youth,
Leroy Woods, were killed on the
same date. In addition to being
charged with killing his father

grand jury charging that he is re-
sponsible for the death Of his wife
and Woods.
Arraigned in circuit court this
morning, he entered a plea of not
guilty. The formalities of select
ing the jury to try the issue be-
gan and within one hour the jury
had been empanelled.
Members of the jury are: Viii
liam f. Nelson, Raymond Cabrera,
Robert NJ. Saunders, William S.
Scheurer, J. B. Griffin, Newton
Curry, Roland C. Richardson, G.
N. Recio, Vivian Pinder, Arthur
Griffin. Thaddeus Gates, Oscar
Cruz.
Judge jefferson B. Browne,
quizzing the jurors as to their
qualifications indicated that At
torneys VIM. H. Malone and Allan
B. Cleare for Roberts will enter a
plea Of insanity for the client.
The only witness for the prose-
cution, heard at the session this
morning was Sheriff X. o. Thomp-
son. who testified as to finding the
bodies of the three negroes and
subsequently questioning the pris-
Oner.
State Attorney George G..
Brooks, at the conclusion of the
shcrlff's testimony, asked The
court take q recess as several of
the states witnesses would not be
available until this afternoon. 1t

be so easily secured or he would
have had the witnesses present.
Other witnesses for the state will
arrive by highway this afternoon.
The bench thereupon ordered a re-
cess until 2 o'clock.
While Mr.. Thompson was Civ
ing his testimony Mr.. Malone OBJ
jected to q number of items that
were considered incompetent and
irrelevant by the defense, and the
Judge so ruled.
Mr.. Brooks then asked that the
jury be retired as he wanted to
argue certain things to come up
during the case. The jury retired
and Mr.. Brooks argued one point
in evidence, but was overruled by
the Judge.
Another point argued by the
state attorney was that the pris-
oner had made two confessions.
One at Tavernier and the other in
the office of Sheriff Thompson.
The former he will not use. The
latter he intends to introduce as
evidence, if the court PERMITS
On this point the attorney asked
the bench If that viii be permitted.
Judge Browne replied that he will
rule on that matter when the time
arrives.
