In flurnza has invaded the jury room In Uie case of ten alleged L W. W. on tf(al here for the murder of Warren O. Grimm, Centralia Armistice day parade victim. The illness of Edward Parr. Hoquiam. which caused post ponement of the trial Friday, was today diagnosed aa influenza and court was again adjourned. i Fear that other members of the panel, even including the two alter nate jurors, all of whom have been posed. might be stricken was ex pressed today when it became known that at least four others had been reported as "not feeling well." The Wry was removed from its quarters hi the courthouse today and placed ih a large room In the city hall, a block distant. Even the sick juror was moved. The law prohibits the separation of the Jury, and Judge Wilson was loath y: discharge Parr at this time and awtr in one of the two alternates ih"" his fttead. The possibility that arr may have recovered by Tuesday merning, when court again convenes, as given as a reason by the court for refusing to discharge Parr at this time. i Parr's Condition Hot Alarming:. 'Court session Tuesday, with Parr still sitting, probably will depend upon the condition of Parr as ported by County Health Officer Fit. Pwr-s temperature today was re ported to be 104 by Dr. Fitz, but he said his condition was not alarming The selection of an alternate, in case it should become necessary to discharge Parr and send him to a hos pital, would be by ballot. The alter nates are James A. Ball, blacksmith, .'tfontesano. and A. R. Johnson, cigar dealer, Hoquiam. TDefense counsel today asked that Parr be discharged, but Judge Wil s9ti decided to deny the request in view of the possibility of the Juror's rneovery by Tuesday. The state ob jected strenuously to such action at Uiis time. Although there was no s'Srjion of court today, attorneys for bitiy the state and defense remained ubotit the courthouse until noon, w htin Juui;e Wilson definitely de cided to place the jurors in more commodious quarters. Inxnnltj Roberts Defense. The defense had expected to begin today its defense of Loren Koberts, one of the ten defendants, in behalf of whom it has entered a plea of in sanity. Three alienists have exam ined Roberts, two of them for the estate, but any conclusions they have reached were to become public only when tbey became a matter of court record. The state has announced that it would resist the plea of insanity throughout the trial. The defense maintains that Roberts is suffering from hallucinations, a form of de mentia, and that he was o suffering at the time of the shootings in Cen tralia and at the time ho made the alleged confession which has been placed tn evidence. The fourth week of the trial ended today, the state having concluded its direct esse last Wednesday and the defense having introduced evidence in behalf of one defendant. Eugene Bar rett, in- an endeavor to prove an feJlbi. The defense contends that Bar hftt was in the lobby of the Roderick f.otol during the shooting. The state as insisted that Barnett was in a foora at the Avalon hotel from which the shot was filed which caused the death of Grimm. Bert Faulkner, who ent to trial when the case opened n- January 26, was discharged last VTrdnesuay, Judge Wilson ruling fa vorably on a motion of the defense for dismissal on the grounds of in alifficiency of evidence.

IOXA DAVIS' EFFORTS TO GET DIVORCE IMPEDED. Judge Kavanaugh Refuses Hearing Cntll District Attorney's Office . Files Answer to Complaint. Attempts of Iona E. Davis to get a divorce from Walter R. Davis met with a fourth rebuff yesterday when Circuit Judge Kavanaugh refused to give her a hearing until the district attorney's office could file an answer to her complaint.

That her husband, Frederick Brad ley, has absconded with their two minor children, Larkin, aged 12, and Lillian, aged 9, is the contention of Mrs. Lillian Bradley in a divorce suit filed in the circuit court. Other di vorce actions filed were: W. E. Max field against Hattle B. Maxfield, Daisy L. Sutter against Wallace W. Sutter. Naomi Elizabeth Oliver against Wadsworth W. Oliver, and G. R. Purdy against Margaret Purdy. 19, who said at the trial that he committed the crime with which the three men were charged, in company with two other men not under ar rest, was uncontradicted, claim the attorneys, who also allege insuffi ciency of other evidence and errors of law. The jury placed no credence In the "confession," which was said to contradict itself, by the prose cution. LANDING FIELD WANTED Airplane Station May Be Estab lished at The Dalles.
