Kelley and James Willos, convietsj who participated in the prison break of August 12, were placed on trial for their lives in the Marion county court house late Thursday afternoon following the retirement of the jury in the Murray murder case. Both con victs are charged with the mur der of John Sweeney, guard, for which crime Murray was also tried. The state is seeking the death penalty. Originally it was planned to try the two men separ ately, but upon agreement between Will R. King, counsel for defense, and John H. Carson, district at torney, the men are being tried together, saving the time and ex pense of obtaining a third jury and third trial. ; Plans of the! state were jolted through Judge j Percy R. Kelly's overruling a motion by District Attorney John j H. Carson for a postponement of the Kelley-Willos trial until after the iury had re turned its verdict in the Murray case. District Attorney Carson sought to halt further prosecution until Murray's ! fate was learned Should the verdict be "guilty as charged in the indictment." mean' tag that the death penalty would automatically be inflicted, District Attorney Carson would then pro ceed with the Kelley-Willos trial, but should there have been no verdict, due toj disagreement, he planned to immediately place Murray on retrial for the death of Guard Sweeney; The state will ask the death penalty for Kelley and Willos re gardless of the verdict returned against Tom Murray. Immediate steps were taken in the selection of the jury, attor neys questioning on practically the same line as they did in the Murray case.

Washington fandom took to heart the Senators' defeat by Pittsburgh today. Its regret was heightened by the fail ure of Old Barney Johnson to carve more deeply his niche In baseball's hall of fame by winning three games in , a world series. Thousands standing on the streets before play boards cheered the old v.arrior after - each pitch in the tarly innings while Washington held a lead, but they gave way to expressions of sympathy and dis may as the Pirates battered dewn the margin. The home guard fans were pull ing for a Washington victory with Walter Johnson in the pitching box, but as succeeding innings added to Pittsburgh's attack, even his staunchest -supporters were calling for Manager Harris to re lieve Barney of his burden. The eighth innipg, when the Pirates took the winning lead was hard for, the loyalists crowding about the score boards to watch and many of them left for home. - A mighty groan went up ,as "Goose" Goslin fanned the air, for the final out in the ninth which meant more than the loss of the world's championship to the Sena tors:, it signified that Walter Johnson had been baffled in his desire to join that small group of baseball's immortals who have fought and won three games in a title contest.
