SECURNG OF PANOS JURY SLOW WORK Veniremen Have Mostly Read of the Case and Many Have Devlded Opinions Capital Punishment It Feature of Examination. Spanos Will Deny His Confession but State Will Make Fight for Its Admission. Owing to tho importance of tho ense considerable difficulty is being experienced in the circuit court in securing n jury to try the enso of tha state vk. Miko Spanos. The trial jury panel wns exhausted this mor ning with only three men having a ehnnco of retaining their scats. Sher iff Jones wns instmcted lo summon a now panel. At noon today the state hnd used .1 of its hit peremp tory challenges and the defense four of its twelve. The chief difficulty encountered seems to be the wide knowledge of the case gained through tho news papers and an opposition to nn in fliction of capitnl punishment. Tho recent campaign seems to be respon sible for a greater understanding of this problem. The enso against Spnnos was call ed in tho circtjit court Monday nt noon niul since then tho entire time haH been devoted to securing n jury. It may bo that it' complete jury will not bo obtained until Kridny, which by tho way Is hangman's day in Ore gon. From questions hurled nt (he veniremen by attorneys for tho de fense it is very evident that SpnnoH will repudiate his confession in court claiming that it was obtained under duress. Tho stato is prepared to off set this, summoning many witnesses to cover this point. Miko Spanos, when he enmo into court, nppearcd moro worn than nt any time previous. lie suited very infrequently and at all times mani fested great interest in (lie proceed ings in court. His wifo sat as near him as Kssib!e mid took great in terest in all that went on. HILL REPORTED BUYING HEAVY WEDDING DELLS END OF !NKW YORK, Dec. 12.
