Tentative Panel Selected to Try Slayer Again. DEFENSE ADMITS KILLING Veteran Who Shot War Bride Goes on Trial Charged With Mur. dcr for Second Time. ?"Of course, we admit that he killed the girl, but we allege that he was insane when he did so." waa the ex planation of Joseph IL Paso, who, with Albert B. Ferrera and Orval Per leer, representing Thomas Lotiaso, layer of his 19-year-old English war bride, on trial for his life for the second time, in the cross-examination of a prospective juror in the circuit court yesterday. This disclosed absolutely the line of defense which will be used in the re trial. In the first case, the insanity plea was confused with a contention that Lotisso was unconscious during the kilMng of his wife, the lapse of mentality being traced to childish in- iniuries which affected his brain. At the close of court yesterday a full panel of 12 talesmen had been ac cepted without challenge for cause. Peremptory challenges, of which the defense has 12 and the state only six. will begin this morning. It is hoped that the selection can be com pleted and the jury sworn in by nightfall. .lodge Declared Prejudiced. Filing of an affidavit of prejudice against Circuit Judge Stapleton. to whom the case first was assigned by Presiding1 Judge Kavanaugh yester day morniiKT. caused it to be re-as signed to the court of Judge Harry H. Belt of McMinnville, who came to Portland .yesterday to assist in re ducing the pressure of local court cases. The "prejudice" was a claim unsupported by any testimony, but sufficient under the law which com pels a change of judge when such an affidavit is filed, regardless of proof. Judge Morrow, the only other Port land judge who might have received the case, was in the midst of a civil trial yesterday morning. Twenty-three jurors were exam ined yesterday. 11 being excused for cause. In four cases. Jurors said they held opinions which would require considerable evidence to change, in six cases they were opposed to capi tal punishment, and in one case a juror did not believe in a defense of temporary insanity.
