New Development May Make Tedious Task OF
Picking Sheppard Jury Just A Waste OF Time

lenge for cause and that challenge
(which excuses the juror must
be sustained.
IF it appears after a person
has been sworn that he has been
convicted Of a crime, don't think
anything can be done about it,
The states attorneys on the
case, besieged by questions from
reporters, refused to speculate on
the situation.
The report on the juror leaked
to newsmen during the noon re-
with the routine of picking two
alternate jurors when the jury
was suddenly sent from the room.
Judge Blythin and lawyers for
both sides went into a private
meeting, announcing afterwards
that they were discussing a pro-
cedural matter in connection with
calling a new batch Of prospective
alternate jurors.
Judge Blythin had summoned rs
additional prospective jurors as
the original panel of IS was ex-
hausted.
Persons who had attended the
conference with the judge said the
state had raised the question of a
possible criminal background of a
juror.
After the noon recess, the Judge
recessed court until Monday with
out telling the jury what the prob.
lem was. It was not clear. how the
state discovered the alleged back
ground of the juror.

toll of firemen from the explosion

CLEVELAND R-Thirteen days
ago, the Sheppard murder trial
opened in stuffy little courtroom
warmed by ranks Of close-packed
newsmen and relatives of the
young osteopath accused of club
Ding his pregnant wife to death.
For nine days, attorneys pain
stakingly questioned a panel of GO
prospective jurors in an effort to
PICK IL who could give DR.. Samuel
II. Sheppard fair trial. On Thurs
Gay a jury of seven men and five
women was sworn into service.
Today there was a chance it had
all been wasted.
A report that one of the IL jurors
had a criminal record brought up
the possibility of mistrial yes
terday that would mean retrying
The entire case, selection of new
Jury and delay that could stretch
into weeks.
To Sheppard, 1t could mean a
long postponement of the day he
will finally be judged innocent or
guilty of the crime that left his
wife, Marilyn, bloody and lifeless
on her bed last July 4.
The state claims he killed her
after a clandestine love affair
with auburn-haired Susan Hayes,
A-year-old former technician in
the hospita. where he practiced.
Sheppard maintains she was killed
by a bushy haired man who in
vaded their home on the shore of
Lake Erie.
Yesterdays development never
got ON the official record Of the
court. The details were provided
by Common Pleas Judge Edward
Blythin and attorneys for the
state and defense in interviews
with reporters. Neither the Judge
nor the lawyers would say flatly
whether they consider the situa-
ton grounds for a mistrial.
The juryfnan in question was
identified by Assistant Prosecutor
Saul Danaceau as James r. Man
ming, a tall and dark haired real
estate salesman who wears a thin,
pencil line mustache. Danaceau
said a man with a similar name
was convicted II years ago Of a
morals charge involving a 15-year-
old boy and given suspended
sentence.
Manning, father Of three chill
dren, was not questioned in con-
nection with this record during his
examination for jury service. Be-
cause Of that, Police Chief Frank
Story ordered an investigation to
check the list Of prospective jurors
and report any criminal back
ground to the state.
Somebody evidently muffed, :"
said Story.
He later said the slipup was due
to careless action by a criminal
records clerk at Central Police
Station. The clerk, female ci-
william, failed to notice in. the de-
7 partment's card file of Cleveland
Municipal Court convictions a
name similar to that of the pros
pective juror, Story said.
Judge Blythin said he plans to

Masked Woman
Holds Up Bank.

TOLEDO, Ohio, H-N looked
like a Halloween prank when a
small, bent figure wearing a mask,
a plastic shawl and pair Of
trousers walked into Toledo bank
and whispered to q teller:
This is a stickup."
The teller, Miss Virginia Lubia-
towski, paused a moment and the
hooded person walked out.
When J. T. Rominiski, manager
of the Commerce National Banks
La Grange st. branch followed, he
saw the mask come off. It was
hiding the wrinkled face of a 7S-
year-old woman, who turned to him
and said:
"I'm very sorry I did that. I
wouldn't have taken any of the
money if that girl had given it to
me-"
The arresting policeman, Howard
Williamson, identified the woman
as Mrs. Frieda McNabb. She is
only five feet tall. She was still
in Jail today, but police said they
may release her.
She said she needed the money
for her s3-year-old husband, who
had been accusing her Of stealing
S5, 900 from his strong box a year
ago.
Because of the woman's age and
also because no damage was done,
the FBI said they would not prose
cute. Toledo police, which booked
her on charges Of suspicion, said
they found in her purse toy gun
and a note that said, "this is a
stickup-don't call for help-I have
YOU covered"

'Dockmen Vote

LONDON B-Brtain's stirling

to work on Monday and end the
paralyzing waterfront ssoppage
which has brought this maritime
nations trade to q virtual stand.
still.
The 2-day-old waIkout Of xs,oOe
men ended in compromise, with
the promise Of a final settlement
to be hammered out within a
month.
Vic Marney, q strike leader, told
a mass meeting of lockers outside
London's idle wharves: I'VE have
won a glorious victory"
The back-to-work vote was taken
at a series of mass meetings up
and down the country. The London
men voted first to 60 back. Within
minutes the rest of Britain's major
ports followed their example.
The London men agreed 10 re-
turn to work on condition that
overtime work should be on q vol
untary basis and that men who
refused to work overtime would
not be disciplined.
In other ports, the overtime issue
is to be settled by local negotia-
tons.
Further meetings viii be held in
months time to review progress.
The walkout, which was strong.
ly supported by Communists, be-
gan when 1000 members of the
National Amalgamated Stevedores
and Dockers Union walked out to
enforce its demands that overtime
be voluntary. Employers have
maintained that the dependence Of
ship operations on the tides made
compulsory overtime a necessity.
The stevedores were joined by
