WOLF ON TRIAL FOR SLAYING OF WIFEIPIRER Birdseye Creek Triangle Which Resulted In Death Of Bill Sheldon Aired In Court Wife Witness, Fred Wolf, a sturdy, stolid man of foreign birth, who came to the Birds- eye creek district a year ago last September, went on trial today In circuit court charged with man slaughter for the slaying of Bill Shel don, '20. as the tragic culmination of a rural romance, on the evening of May 4. last. Sheldon was walking home with Mrs. Wolf, carrying the milk pail, wheu the tragedy occurred on a path that meandered through a cow pas ture. The trysts, that led to the killing, the defense will contend, were hejd while Mrs. Wolf was milk ing the cows, and the length of time required for the dairy duty, aroused the suspicions of the husband. Single Juror Excused Selection of a Jury was underway this morning. Three of the tentative Jurors had served in the ballot trials, and most of them were men of fami lies. Two women Mrs. Mary L. Phlpps and Mrs Mary Kleinhammer were In the box. The defense in the exercise of its first challenge, excused Herman Herbert, a single man. One of the chief witnesses for the state will be Mrs. Wolf, who with her mate were the only ones present be sides Sheldon. The defense will interpose the un written la-w and self defense, as a defense, it Is said. Ten witnesses have been sub poenaed by the defense, all residents of the Birdseye creek district. They are: Ira Childers. Mrs. Ira Chllders, Mrs. Eda Otis, Joe Doe Carlson, O. W. Horn, Mona I. Horn, Fred Caster, and three John Does. C.nsMp Readies Husband The evidence will show that coun try gossip for some time had linked the names of Mrs. Wolf and Sheldon, and finally reached the ears of the husband. For confirmation he wait ed near the cow pasture -'and saw Sheldon carrying a milk pall and walking with his wife He confront ed them. Words followed and fists were hurled in a bitter fight, It Is alleged. When It was over Sheldon was mortally wounded, by a bullet from Wolfs gun. Justification will be plead by the defense, represented by Attornevs Prank DeSouza named by the court. Attorney E. E. Kelly, and Robert Hammond. Jr., a recent addition to the legal profession. They will hold that Sheldon was the aggressor In the fatal fight. The state will hoM that Wolf com mitted the crime with premeditation. and waited for Sheldon. The prose cution is in charge of District Attor ney Gedrge A. Codding. .Wolf waa indicted by the grand Jury for manslaughter which carries a penalty of from one to 16 years In state prison, upon conviction. The trial Is expected to last three days.

Discussing codes drawn under the recovery act. Green told the 500 dele gates: . "The hours of labor and the mini mum rates of pay established In these codes are unsatisfactory. The hours are too high and the wages too low If we are to realize the real objective of the recovery act. "In our mature Judgment, our hon est Judgment, the hours In many of these codea are so high that they will not absorb a single worker. Three million have been taken back to work, out eleven million are still unemploy ed. "So labor must press with all vlgr in its possession the necessity for re vising codea until the opportunity to work la given to all those who want work.

By Herbert W, Barker Associated Press Sporta Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 3. (AP) The New York. Giants and Washington Senators prepared for a last minute "fir drill" today before they plunge Into the blazing competition of world series combat In the polo grounda to morrow. An overnight flood of New York money had forced the betting odda, favoring the Senators, down to 6 to S from 10 to 7, with prospect of a further shortening to even money unless stronger support developed for the American league champions. Ticket Hale Slow Thla awing toward the Glanta and Indications that the ticket sales for the first two games In New York, to morrow and Wednesday, have not come up to expectations, took all the play away from the actual competi tor and their pre-serlea practice ses sions slated for the Polo grounds thla afternoon.

Plan Identical Relief Mr. Roosevelt added a third prin ciple to the veterans program as surance that the federal government wouia give the same relief It gtvea w ornera in caring for those veter an who are disabled from emmes unconnected with war service but unable to care for themselves.
