Opening Statement Wednesday
The Manning trial jury of 12 men was completed at
1:57 p. m. Tuesday.
Selection of two alternate jurors was to follow im
mediately after a recess. Judge Wilson stated that when
that task was completed, court will adjourn until 9 a.

Members of the jury are Harry Goeller, Walter

Six of these were called originally to the box at the
beginning of the trial of the well-known Klamath lawyer,
charged with the murder of State Legislator Ralph W.
Horan on February 12. Most or all of the jurors know

him for years. . - ' .
