with murder and jury tampering
charges, brought a double sensa
tion in Judge Thomas J. Lynch

"We have Information that
should bo investigated, before a
Jury is sworn In on this case."
former Judge Robert K. Crowe,
state's attorney, declared In ans
wering wyiiam Scott Stewart,
chief defense counsel, who de
manded that Judge Crowe be
stopped from further inquiry as
to possible jury tampering.
Harold Pillar, 22, the youngest
man on the jury, a member of the
first panel of four, the only jur
ors thus far sworn in, broke the
panel today when he confided to
the court, in the presence of the
defendant Shepherd, and the at
torneys In the case that he had
an opinion in the case and was
opposed to capital punishment.
When examined for jury ser
vice, pillar had not said he would
not subscribe to capital punish
ment, but apparently conscien
tious scruples led him overnight
to divulge 'his belter. He first
spoke to a bailiff and then was
called into chambers by Judge
Lynch, who also summoned tho
defendant and counsel.
Pillar said he had reached an
opinion and wanted to inform the
court that h'e could not believe
in eanltal punishment. lie then
was discharged, leaving only three
Jurors In the box.
The second hih point wns re
corded, when Attorney Stewart
appealed to Judg"a Lynch to call a
halt on State's Attorney Crowe's
jury tampering inquiry. Stewart
asserted that every day the. news
papers were coming out In bold
headlines referring to the tamper

tinued It would be virtually Im
possible to obtain a Jury. He as
