A ljury. of four men and might women. all oti whom had indicated oy tneir answers to. questions that they were unopposed to the death penalty for n woman., but had agreed in the same Way'' that she might justifiably slay h matt in defense of her honor, was chosen in superior court here to day beforo Judge 'Mitchell Gilliam to try Clara blizabcth Hkarln. Ilia state . m the morning will begin pre sentation of evidence on its charga that Miss Kknnn shot rerdlnand . Hochbronn to death October 81. 1921,' wothout justification and with Pre meditated design. ' Miss Skarin wore the dark blua satin dross in which she returned . from California after her ' .arrest in Oakland in September,; 1922, made in simple girlish style. While the court was in session she gave ser.. inus attention, scanning cargefly the faces of prospective jurors and uf counsel in the ease. Rarely did she smile. iBut when tho proceedings were over for the day she chatted merrily in a corridor. Each nerson sitting in the Jury box when court adjourned early, had declared that ho was unacquainted with Edward Von Tobcl, the closest confidant and for many years tha attorney of the dead man. (jues tions concerning Von Tobol we asked by the defense. Miss Skarin, according to an alleged confession, accused him as an accessory after the slaying, but no charge has been brought against him. 1 After the jury was sworn Judgs Gilliam informed its members that beginning tomorrow they would hnvc to remain under guard until they hnvo ended their deliberations, but that they were free until 9:39 . a. m. Miss Skarin's name was officially pronounced "Skarccn" by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John D.- Car mody, who is trying the case fT the state.
