    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.
