Ltist week Judgo Cnlkius called for
Montgomery's uppenrance in court

that Montgomery who is in Idaho had

BCUITCOURT
Spanos Companion In Crime is Plac
ed on Trial for His Life-Work of
Securing Jury Is Slow Special ,
Venire is Summoned to Appear.
Taklnrj of Testimony Will Start Tues
dayFight Will Be Made on Ad
mission of Confession.
The case of the state vs. Seymour
for tbo murder of George Dcdaska
loua In thta city September 22, was
called In tho circuit court Monday
morning and tbe work, of securing
a jury waa at onco undertaken
Seymour Is charged with tbo same
crime Mlko Spanos waa found guilty
of In tho first degrco Saturday after
noon. Tbo two wero indicted to
gether but demanded separato trials.
Tbo jEccurlng of a jury Is proving
alow work and a special vonlro waa
soon found necessary It. D. McCabo
Is appearing tor tho defemo and Is
making a hard fight for tho life of
his client.
In all probability tho taking ot evi
dence will start on Tuesday. Tho
admission ot Seymour's confession
will bo a bard fought question but as
Seymour openly derided Spanos
claims that be was starved Into mak
ing a confession, ho will bo forced
to base his denial ot tho confession
on other grounds.
The state claims to have a stronger
case against Seymour than It had
against Spanos. In addition Spanos
may bo called by tho prosecution as
ho bag been convicted. Whether, ho
will testify or not Is still a question
of doubt.
Seymour received tho word of
Spanos' conviction In tbo first de
gree with far mora fcoltng than did
Spanos himself.
It is known that Seymour has
considered basing his defenso upon
tbo theory that ho first struck De
daskalous only hard enough to knock
him senseless, toot meaning to klh
him, and that Spanos, In a murder
ous frenzy, finished him. Aa tho
law provides that a murdor, during
tho attempt to commit a folony, is
first degreo, his attorney may not
allow him to uso that plea.

Summers, In an appeal to tho (led
