More Jurors Called Up In Murder trial Questions By Attorneys Seek To Find Impartial Panel; To View Scene Oregon Ryegrass Production Upped; Legumes Seed Yields Reveal Decline Six mor prospective Jurors were summoned by Circuit Judge Carl E. Wimberly "to appear forthwith" at Victoria Sanders' murder trial yesterday afternoon, as the lawyers ran through the original Jury list and eliminated several persons Jor various reasons. The Jury was to view the scene 61 the alleged crime this morn ing. They were to be taken to the house, two miles west ot Drain, where the body ol Ralph Mojonnier was found dead almost two years ago, a gunshot wound in his head and .22 caliber rille beside him. In picking the Jury, the state and counsel for the defense elimi nated a number of persons be cause they professed conscien tious scruples against capital punishment. Others were excused for reasons not stated, as the lawyers wrote their challenges on secret ballots handed to th Judge. Draws Namt When there were no more names to be called, Judge Wim berly instructed Mrs. Eva Marsh, of the sheriff's office, to draw six additional names. She drew the slips of paper from a box and handed them to County Clerk Agee. The names drawn were those of Harriett F. Turner, Winona P. Bailev, Katherlne E. Youne. Gor don Hadley, Hazel E. Coff.tian, and concley c. Shelton. The judge Instructed the sheriff's of fice to "summon them to appear forthwith." Mrs. Turner arrived In the court room within a few minutes. The trial was to get underway today, after the Jury's return from viewing the scene of the al leged crime. RefutedOTo Marry , From questions asked "the Jur ors, the state indicated it would attempt to prove that Miss San ders killed Mojonnier after he "refused to marry her," when she had born a child, "which may or may not" have been his child. Miss Sanders and Mojonnier al legedly were living together as man and wife. During the questioning, the comely defendant sat with her lawyers at the bar, the long tabl? situated directly In front of the Judge. Her attorneys include Paul E. Geddes and Carl Felker, Rose burg, and John Purvis, Reedsport. Others at the table were State Police Sgt. Lyle Harrell, Dudley Walton, assistant district attor ney, and Robert G. Davis, district attorney. Juror Draws Laughter E. R. Metzger, Roseburg, called as a Juror, caused laughter in the cpurtroom and even drew a smile from Miss Sanders, when he re marked, "if she had a child by him and he wouldn't marry her under certain circumstances, I wouldn't blame her for taking a shot at him!" He was later ex cused. Judge Wimberly explained from the bench that if Miss San ders had had a child by Mojon nier, and there was a question whether it was his, would she still have a right to "shoot him down." All jurors attested, under Ged des' questioning, that they would be willing "to give this young lady the benefit of presuming her innocent, until proved guilty be yond a reasonable doubt." The prosecution sought to learn the Juror's attitudes toward cap ital punishment, and whether they would allow themselves to be Influenced by the fact that "the defendant is a woman." PORTLAND, Sept. 6 ( Higher ryegrass yields hav boosted the Oregon crop to 49, 000.000 pounds compared with 34.600,000 last year. But the fed eral crop reporting service said legume seed yieljs were down. A severe winter and late spring frosts were blamed for the drop of lepume seeds to 113,000.000 pounds. The crop represents about 68 percent of the nation's supply. The Department of Agricul ture's weekly bulletin said hairy vetch would total about 14.500. 000 pounds, down 500.000 from last year. Common and Willam ette vetch was estimated at 11. 900.000 pounds, less than half the 1948 output. Although plantings of Austrian Deas were increased 17,000 acres, the harvest wjll be 29.600,000 pqunds, only 4.600.000 above a year ago. Hungarian vetch output was estimated at 630.000 pounds compared with 1,100.000 last year. Support prices for the 1950 crop will be based on parity prices as ot April 1, 1950, the department announced. The agency said that If parl'y prices next April are the same as those of July 15, the average support levels for top grade seed would be as follows: hairy vetch 13.5 cents a pound; common vetch 6.34 cents: Willamette vetch 6.34 cents; crimson clover 16.03 cents; common ryegrass 7. 09 cents; Austrian winter peas 4.62 cents. These would be slightly under 1949 support prices. but The jack rabbit Is not a rabbit a hare. Hood River Pear Crop May Set New Record HOOD RIVER.
