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.
Tentative Paael Obtained.
The tentative jury panel selected
by close of court yesterday was com
posed of C. YV. Nottingham, ex-state
senator, a local cement dealer; V. H.
Gillespie, accountant; XV. W. Wing,
carpenter; Charles Rockstad, soft
drink merchant; William Anderson,
farmer; Claude D. Starr, packer; W,
B. Murray, planing1 mill worker; Ben
S. Estes, farmer; John Epple, watch
man; Fred Tauchman, rancher; Wil
liam E. McCIeese. carpenter, and
Richard O. Holmes, contractor and
builder.
Joseph L. Hammersly, chief deputy
district attorney, conducted the ex
amination for the prosecution, Attor
ney Page for the defense.
J. H. Aldrich. prospective Juror, said
that he hoped he would not be com
pelled to serve; that he had strong
convictions aga.nst capital punish
ment and would "either have to dis
regard his conscience or the instruct
tions of the court."
Iaaaalty Defease Objection.
Jesse II. Settlrmeier, salesman, said
he did not believe in a defense of
temporary insanity, and that he did
not believe he could do justice to the
defense if that was the pl-a on which
it rested. Both were discharged.
Other Jurors excused because op
posed to d-ath penalty were Frank
Nor. Charles A. Huff. August Cains.
W. B. Colvin and Ellis Itiibb. Those

Are you that clever, wide-awake
young woman who aspires to be pop

in your heart you know that if you

The girl who Is popular is lovely,
gay and dainty. The secret of her fas

and the one who is all this and still
more, one who is wise, knows that
she does not have to have money to

pretties she delights in exist; where
they may be had for only a small
per cent of her salary and her prom

that the name of these stores is
Cherry's, and they have a store at
269 Washington street, convenient for
everybody. She knows that she is
Nudged by her appearance, so that it's
a duty as well as a delight to be well
