The D’Antremont trial continu
ed this morning, stolidly Ignoring
the sensational news which came
from Ohio last night, indicating
that the defendant’s two brothers,
who are Jointly charged with the
defendant in this ease as conspira
tors in the Southern Pacific train
robbery in October, 1923, had
been apprehended In Steubenville,
Ohio.
The capture of the two* other
D’Autremont boys created con
siderable more interest in the
case, which had become extremely
uninteresting, although the at
tendance was still very email. -
Hngh Is Bothered
The defendant plainly showed
this morning that the news of the
capture of his two brothers in
Ohio had affected him. Whea he
entered the court room, he seemed
more nervous than usual, and the
conversation between him and his
parents were more frequent dur
ing the day’s sessions.
Jury Selected
Interest of short duration was
created when the defense re
quested the privilege of re-ques-
tloiflng one of Ihosp tentatlyely
selected as a Juryman, Robert J.
Luke, of Ashland. The prosecu
tion protested, bnt the ' privilege
was granted.
The defense asked h,tt relative
to a conversation he was alleged
to have had with a Mr. Payne yes
terday following his tentative se
lection as a Jnryssaa. Whan
asked if he had stated a fixed
opinion to Mr. Payne yesterday,
Mr. Luke replied he had not. He
admitted he had expressed opin
ions, but contended he still felt he
equid act fairly as a Juror. The
defense challenged him tor cause,
which the prosecution resisted.
Luke was questioned by Judge
Thomas, who later ruled he was
rtlll eligible. In this short tilt,
the attorneys showed plainly that
