Conspiracy Trial
To Center Around
Love Link" Today
State To Offer Witnesses To
Prove ENHANCEMENT At
Opening Session

With the selection of jurors and
the completion of opening state
ments by the prosecution and the
defense yesterday, the Lyddane con-
spiracy trial gets actually under way
today with the State ready to offer
proof of the Glove entanglements" Of
the chief defendant, Anne Lyddane.
Both the State and the defense will
offer witnesses in connection with
this particular phase Of the much
publicised case. a''
It was with the greatest difficulty
that a jury was selected for the
trial. Not until deputy sheriffs had
swept the farmlands of Montgomery
County, seeking talesmen who had
formed no opinion on the bizarre
case, were IL niiddle-aged men given
Une assignment.
An hour later the judges issued a
citation for contempt against two
editors and two reporters of the
Washington Herald. Those named
were Michael w. Flynn, managing
editor; Ray Halgeson, city editor;
Pat Frank and David Lee, reporters,
and the American Newspapers, Inc.
They were ordered to show cause
on or before Monday why they should
not be adjudged in contempt of court
as result of story appearing in
the Herald yesterday morning which
purported to give in advance the YER
dict in the case of Jonn Martin
Boland, co-defendant with Mrs.
Lyddane, "thus embarrassing and OBJ
structing the administration of jus
tice."
Nearly 20 talesmen were called
before jury could be selected. OF
these the majority were excused be-
cause they said they had formed
unalterable ideas about the case. The
State used all Of it's ten challenges,
the defense used all but one of its 20.
AS finally chosen, the jury is as
follows:
William O'Keefe, farmer.
John T. Culver, coal company em-
ploye.
Harry v. Embrey, house painter.
Arthur S. Beall no relation Of
Mrs. Josephine Beall or husband),
farmer.
Arthur B. Shreve, farmer.
William d. Clark, hardware dealer.
William E. Bracket, chair maker.
Howard w. Bosley, farmer.
Ora A. Mills, truckman.
Isaac Fyffe, retired farmer.

Joseph A. Cantreps resolution ask
ing a sweeping investigation into
the activities of the Washington

The report, said to be unani-

viewed the evidence presented at

here two weeks ago and gave the
commission a clean bill of health.
Hewitt Griggs Robertson and
Harold Haynes, two Montgomery

ing that the commission was
guilty of waste, extravaganza,

Of these charges, the report de-
clared the evidence presented was
insufficient to warrant an inves-
tigation. A study of the bonds
