The girl had main tained her composure all morn ing but when the attorneys ques tioned a prospective Juror, an eld erly woman, herself a mother, the child defendant was deeply agi tated. A short recess was taken and the girl regained her calm, which she maintained until the noon re cess. Juror is Excused Martin Brown, the first juror examined today was challenged when he said he "would presume her guilty." "But suppose, ' asked Judge Harold Louderback, "the case were submitted to you now and no evidence were Introduced. What would your verdict be?" "Guilty," he said. Brown was excused amid laugh ter that provoked the court to threaten to have removed any persons taking part in a similar demonstration. When court pdjourned for noon, seven jurors had been seat ed temporarily, all subject to later challenges. Woman Unprejudiced The juror who so stirred Dor othy HUingson was Mrs. Alice F. Illcks. In discussing her im pressions of the case from news paper rending, she said she had not held or expressed an opinion of the guilt or sanity of the girt but hnd on Impression that "something muat he wrong with a person who could do that."
