Court Question
CHICAGO. Aug. 3. (By Asso
ciated Press.) Russell T. Scott,
twice snatched from the gallows
by dramatic midnight legal maneu
vers,, had a new day In court to
day. A jury was selected to pass
upon his mental condition. Open
ing statements were made by the
defense and prosecution and to
morrow an imposing array of
alienists will bring the presenta
tion ot reports and conclusions
from which 12 men will shape his
fate.
Scott was in court, pale, reflec
tive and calm.. At times he was
the sharp, keen., alert Internation
al - financier, promoter of a
130,000,000 : Canadian -American
Bridge corporation, and- manager
of an organization with branch of
fices in 182 cities. Then he gave
strict attention to the examination
of the veniremen and the blunt
mandates of the court urging
speed. Again he was the bewild
ered and ineffectual peddler of
razor strops, overwhelmed by the
problem of raising two dollars for
room rent. .Then he sat motion
less at the side of the counsel
table, his forehead resting in his
hands, intently contemplating the
rhythmic oscillations of the
udge's eletcrlc fan.

"We will show through reput
able alienists who have examined
this man within the last week that
he suffers delusions of persecu
tion," William Scott Stewart, the
defense attorney, said In his open
ing statement. When he attempt
ed 'to allude to Scott's numerous
assertions of Innocence, be was
abruptly Interrupted by Judge
David, who ruled pointedly that
guilt or innocence is not even a
remote issue In the sanity proceed
ings. "The supreme court has spoken
on that case. There is but one Is
sue here. It is whether the pris
oner has become Insane since his
conviction. And nothing else will
get into this record."
There was a conversational con-
sulation over the bench. The court
spoke again. "That case Is closed.
This Is a civil trial. That case Is
closed." Impetus eesturea ra
