YOUTH ABANDONS
 TRIAL BY JURY
Insufficient Number of Ve- niremen Causes Change;
 Charge Denied

Peter Chuchelow 23, was on trial today before Judge Kenenth Wynne in superior court.
 The case was originally intended for jury trial, but because of the absence of Q sufficient number of jury -men, counsel agreed to pre- sent their cases before Judge Wynne,
 Twenty-eight venire-men had been impanelled for the present ses- sion of superior court, but of this number too few were available for jury duty.
 Chuchelow is held on charge of criminal assault, and was to be tried at the opening of the criminal term of superior court last Tuesday, June 10. At that time Chuchelow, through his attorney, Michael V. Blansfield, entered a plea of not guilty, and requested a trial by jury. Judge Wynne, in granting the re- quest, reassigned the case for June 10th.
 Chuchelow was sentenced to the Cheshire Refcrmatory last October, for a similar offense, but was re- leased on bail when his attorney took an appeal to the supreme court of errors in Hartford. On April 30th Judge Wynne issued bench warrant for his arrest. after he had allegedly perpetrated another crim- inal assault upon Wolcott girl. He was apprehended shortly afterward. The appeal is still pending.
 Attorney Blansfield indicated to- day that he intended to show that relationships existed between the accused and the girl prior to the alleged assault.

period at the morning and afternoon
sessions will be occupied with activ-
ity periods for each group.

ployed to handle the increased at
tendance this year, bringing the
teaching corps up to 80 in all. There

are five kitchen trucks, complete
with gas stoves and all modern, up
to-the-minute equipment. Also one

calibre guns, machine guns, rifles
and side arms The brigade expects
to have their 75-calibre guns re-
placed with the new los guns after
they reach Camp Lewis This group
is an experimental one-a mechan-
lied anti-tank outfit, one of the
first Of its kind.
The men made the trip from Cald-
we'll, Idaho today and will go as far
as Renton tomorrow, arriving at
Camp Lewis the following day. They
will leave at four o'clock Friday
morning, expecting to be at least as
far as EllenSburg before noon, pos
sibly at the top Of Snoqualmie pass.
The motor equipment was refueled
here, requiring about $500 gallons.
Both tank trucks from the Kenne-
wick Standard Oil plant, as well as
both from the PaSco plant were in
use, while 300 five-gallon cans were
filled at the service station. The
army pays but six cents per gallon,
with no state or federal taxes and
no payment for delivery or profit to
the local dealers.
Because Of the warm weather the
troops did not set up tents, the in

"A scout car speeds ahead Of the
column each day, making arrange

a while that the outfit would go
without milk, for the local diaries
were unable to supply the nearly
seven hundred half-pint contain

ever, Pasco dairyman was secured
and the soldiers got their milk.
A civilian, watching the arrival OF

OF the infinite amount Of detail in

group-of the coordination OF factors
necessary even in such simple
movement as this.
