The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-10


 Connor's Name Drawn
 One of the oddities of the selec- tion was in the case of Deputy Sheriff Daniel B. Connor of Pros pect, who was drawn as a venire- man. Connor, during the past two weeks has been working as deputy sheriff at the trial, leading the veniremen from the court door to the witness box. Incidentally, Con- nor was made ineligible from serv- ing any jury warrants, by virtue of his selection as a venireman. Another man drawn was Clarence F. Roberts of Oxford, who was se- lected on December 2 as the fourth member of the conspiracy trial panel. His name, of course, was stricken from the new list. Charles H. Jackson of Cheshire, a former member of the legislature was al- so named on the list.
 Appear Wednesday The entire 100 will be ordered to appear before Judge Inglis We'd nesday morning, to give excuse, if they have any, why they should not be examined for prospective jury duty in the conspiracy trial. Each will receive $4 for each days attendance, and ten cents a mile Gone way) transportation expenses. Clerk George H. Freeman of the Waterbury superior court drew the 100 names from the New Haven county jury list which was brought from the New Haven superior court for the purpose. Clerk William A. Bree of New Haven, member of the jury commission was present. Chief Deputy Sheriff Daniel Cal- lahan of Naugatuck supervised. AL though the defendants had been ex- cused, several remained to witness the proceedings. Many of the de- fense lawyers, and Special Prosecu- tor Alcorn were absent from the courtroom when the drawing was underway.
 Still Many Challenges
 When the third week of the trial gets underway Tuesday morning, the state will have available, 139 of its original 172 challenges. The de- fense will have 132.
 At that time it is expected that service will have been completed on the 100 new panelmen, and they will be in readiness to appear for questioning Wednesday. No member of the new panel will be questioned until ach and every member of the old list has been disqualified.
