ASTOR BID SENT.
EILEEN, IS HINT

NEWPORT, r. T., June q
UN.SO.-Another unusual chapter
in the marriage arrangements Of
John Jacob Aston, 3d., was un-
folded here today with a report
that Miss Eileen Gillespie, New
York debutante, who broke her
engagement to him under dra-
matte circumstances, has been IN
yited to attend his wedding.
Mr.. Astor is slated to go to the
altar Saturday with one OF Miss
Gillespie's most inmate friends,
Ellen Tuck French.
The Astor-G Gillespie marriage
plans, which went on the rocks
because of a family quarrel, origl-
nally called for Miss French to
be a bridesmaid for Miss Gillespie.
Report Unconfirmed
The report that an invitation
has been extended to Miss Gill
lespie came from a source close
to Chetwode, the palatial Astor
home, but a check for confirma-
ton brought nothing but silence.
Neither Mr.. Aston nor Miss
French nor her parents would
comment.
It has long been known that
Miss Gillespie and her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Lewis
Gillespie, might be in Newport
about the time of the wedding.
They plan to leave New York
shortly, and are un &c d e d
whether to visit Newport or jour
ney to Europe.
Parent Indignant
In another flare-up over we'd
ding invitations, Francis O.
French of Dedham, Mass, father
of Mr.. Astor's bride-to-be, issued
an indignant denial of reports
that he had not been invited.
Mr.. French, who is divorced
from Miss French'S mother, in
sisted he would be on hand to give
the bride away, declaring his
daughter and his former wife had
sent him invitations with per-
mission to bring as many as So

petit jury panel.
The statement was sworn to by F.
s. Talcott. deputy clerk Of court. and
confirmed in q secoad affidavit by
J. A. Montgomery, clerk Of cour! since
1880.
Talcott's statement fatty denied
that the jurors had been picked by
any other than the usual method.
Talcott swore that in conjunction
with the jury commissioner, w 8.
Hooper, the general practise follow
ed in the district court Is for the
clerk, or one Of his deputies, and the
jury commissioner to divide the coun-
ties Of the state and to ask some per-
son In these counties to forward to
the clerks office a list Of names Of
men qualified for jury service. the
number depending upon the popula-
ton Of the county. The names are
then placed In the jury box BY the
clerk, his deputy, or the jury COM
missioner. The main qualifications
Of the men are that they are citizens
Of the United States and of the state
and are capable Of judging . case in
volving 5000.
Politics Not Considered
No reference Is made to political
parties, the statement reads. The de-
tense, in its motion, contended that
the Nonpartisan League had been
Disseminated against In that few
members Of that party had been CALL
ed.
The jury box, the statement by Tai
colt continued, is always maintained
with at least 800 names and usually
has contained more than 500 names.
When the court orders names
drawn from this box, the following
method always has been used, the
statement declares: first, one was
selected by the jury commissioner
and then one by the clerk, or his
deputy and so on until the number
ordered by the court has been drawn.
This procedure was used, accord
ing to Talcott's statement, In the

have Erickson sign q statement Of
the facts to which he will testify.
the government will admit he testi-
fled to those facts, without admitting
the truth Of the facts.
E. r. Sinkler Of defense counsel left
the courtroom to obtain an affidavit
from Erickson, giving a statement
Of facts to which he will testify and
the affidavit was returned to the
court as Judge Miller gave his rea-
sons for denying the motion.
Erickson Not On Trial
Erickson, the court said, although
he Is one Of the defendants. Is not
on trial at this time, because the gov
eminent recognizes he is i'll.
The importance OF Erickson,s pres
ence, Judge Miller added, is that he
be here because he Is q material wit
ness for the defendants on trial.
In opening his talk leading up to q
denial of the motion to postpone the
trial, Judge Miller said this Is an
unusual situation"
"Unquestionably the government
has gone to a great deal of expense
and preparation in preparing for
this case. The date Of the trial was
known to the defendants and govern
ment long time ago."
Besides Erickson, the court said,
there are eight other defendants on
trial.
1T now appears one OF the defend
ants not on trial, but q material wit
ness, Is i'll. Doctors are unable to
state when it would be safe to move
him from the hospital, whether it
will be ten days or month"
The court said the case is Of i'm
portance because some Of the defend
ants are engaged In q campaign for
high office.
The court called attention that the
defendants are charged with an Of
Tense of moral turpitude, and because
Of the political campaign it is import
ant to the defendants and the pub
lie that the case be tried now.

longing the method of selec..ng the
