DR.. Munson, one of the best

He began fencing here 19

He first explains the weapon,
giving the names Of the diff

a beginner how to go into the
Zen garde" position for
offense and defense. This
entails a semi-crouch with
knees bent and body turned
in profile to the opponent.
How to advance and retreat
quickly is the next move.
Then comes the proper way
to lunge. and finally the
equally important technique
of parrying an opponents

CLEVELAND. Nov. 1.-The

temporarily bypassed q legal
dilemma over d juror with a pur-
ported police record, and went
ahead with the business nf find
ing two alternate jurors.
One alternate Jack H. Hanse,

seated hi fairly short order this
morning.
The disputed juror, James C.
Manning. a real estate agent and
father Of three, showed up in
his regular seat.
The prosecution says Manning
failed to disclose that lie was
convicted on q morals charge II
years ago and that this could
mean having to start fhe trial

over again.
Pastor Talks with Judge.
Manning's pastor, the REV. G.:
r. Naumann, appeared In the

talked with Common Pleas Court
Judge Edward Blythin briefly be-
fore proceedings began.
Mr.. Naumann, pastor Of st.
Luke's Evangelical Lutheran
Church, told reporters Manning
wants to be excused with as
little legal difiiculty as possible. "
Hell try to get of the jury
without any commotion, If that
can be done" said Mr.. Maui
mann He added that nothing
conclusive came of his confer
ence with the judge.
AS he sat in his seat, Manning
rocked nervously back and forth.
The State says his morals con-
viction involved a 15-year-old
boy and he received a suspended
sentence.
At the luncheon recess As
sistant Prosecutor John j..
Mahon told reporters Manning's
presence today did not neces-
sarily mean that Mr.. Mahon is
consenting that Manning re-
main as q Juror.
Motion BY State Likely.
After the two alternates are
selected, he said. there prob.
ably will be a motion by the
State.
BY this Mr.. Mahon presum-
ably meant his previously an
nounced plan to ask that Man
ming be excused and replaced,
rather than to dismiss the entire
jury and start over.
Before todays proceedings
started. Mr.. Mahon said he
would ask Judge Blythin to un-
seat Manning on grounds he
testified at his morals trial.
This, il true, he said, would
show Manning lied before he was
seated. since he swore he had
never been a witness in a court
case. ~
