Oct. 21. With the completion late yesterday of the Jury that is to try Jack Drumgoole for the murder of Cherry De St. Maurice, a woman ot tbe underworld here, rapid progress was made today by the prosecution and It was expected all the testimony will be In late today or early tomorrow. The witness ex amined late yesterday, at this morning's session of court testified as to Drumgoole's private life and his association with women ot doubt ful character. Drumgoole, who has maintained an air of stoical indifference since his arrest in San Diego with Sam J. Raber, a cafe entertainer, convicted Friday of murder and sentenced to day to bang on January 2 at Folsom prison, steadfastly refuses to talk and answers all queries In monosyl lables. He mouths his words thick ly, and although apparently resent ing his companion's confession, In which it was charged that Drumgoole committed the actual killing, the burly prisoner appears to have but a slight conception of the gravity of his crime. Raber all but collapsed today when sentenced by Judge Conley and his present appearance Is In direct con trast to his former sir of sang frold. Cleo Sterling, pretty habitue of the underworld, charged by both Raber and Drumgoole with having planned the robbery which culminated In the death of the De St. Maurice woman, will be placed on trial at the conclu sion of Drumgoole's trail and the po lice believe she will crumple like Raber. The police maintain that Drum goole Is the craftiest of the trio, and In substantiation of this they advance the claim that Drumgoole, following his arrest, succeeded in concealing for more than three weeks a diamond valued at $700. He was searched repeatedly, but outguessed the of ficers and was betrayed only by his guttural manner of speech. He had concealed the gem In the palate of his mouth. Medford, Oct. 21.
