LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14-Questions
asked Of IL prospective Jurors In the

Gated today that the prosecution will
be prepared to fight for conviction of
the 38-year-old aviation executive
against defense relying upon the
Hunwritten law"
Although no court statement has
come from the defense as to its plan
the prosecution made it plain that It
expects a motive OF avenging injury
to family honor in the shooting of
Wright's wife and his best friend"
John Kimmel, to be offered.
II the court instructs YOU that the
mwritten law is no excuse for homi-
eide. will you follow those instruc-
t1ons?" was one Of the questions asked
BY Deputy District Attorney S. Ernest
Roll. Receiving a prompt Affirmative
from the talesman, Mr. Roll added
quickly: 'If the court instructs you
that there is no such defense as un-
written law"
DeIenSe OD1ectS.
Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler
Jumped to his feet, and shouted:
Il object! This implies that the
unwritten law is our only defense, and
should not be submitted to the jurors,
prospective though they are"
Mr.. Roll was allowed to continue bv
superior Judge Ingall w. Bull.
III the court instructs you that q
man has no right to take the law into
his own hands TO deal with a real or
fancied grievance, will you follow those
hstructions?" he persisted.
The defense did not object to this.
but protested later when the prosecutor
once more used the phrase "the un-
written law is no defense" After at
torneys and judge held a consulta-
ton, reference to defense" was elm
mated.
Defense Checks on Bias.
Mr.. Giesler, in questioning the
prospective jurors, asked If they would
be biased if Wright we're to tell from
the witness stand just what caused
him to kill his wife and Kimmel, an
airport operations manager, when he
found them embracing in his Glen
dale home the night Of November 9.
He also asked if they would be preju-
diced against his client If his testi-
mony reflected on the character. NOR
ais and regulations of the two victims.
Four women and eight men-all
but two middle-aged-were in the
jury box, having been accepted by the
defense ''for cause" The prosecution
has yet to finish its questioning, and

Bethesda, Md, who were about to
enter their car near the Botanical
Gardens.
Miss Eleanor was reported to
