INDIANAPOLIS AP A jury of 12 husbands will begin deliber ations today on the fate of divor cee Connie Nicholas, accused of murdering her wealthy married lover after he jilted her for a younger woman. The three attorneys defending the 45-year-old, twice-divorced sec retary have tried to convince the jury the killing ol Forrest reel, 54. could have occurred eitner ac cidentally or in self-defense. Prosecutor Phillip L. Bayt and two trial deputies contend they have proved, through circum stantial evidence, that Mrs. Nicho las planned the shooting. Neither side has questioned the main facts that Tcel, a high ex ecutive of a big drug firm, was shot to death in his car last July 31 after an evening in the apart ment of Laura Mowrer, his new girl friend, and that Mrs. Nicholas held the gun. But the defense contends, and Mrs. Nicholas testified, that her tiny .25-caliber French revolver fired when Tcel seized and w r e n c h ed her arm after she threatened to shoot herself. Three shots pierced Teel's body and a fourth struck' the inside of the car. Mrs. Nicholas tcstiiicd she knew of only one shot aqd didn't think Teel had been hit. After the shooting she drove her own car to a secluded creek bank and swallowed 75 sleeping pills mixed in fruit juice. She was near death when found . nearly 20 hours later. By presenting the double possi bility the shooting could have been either accidental or in sclf-dc (ensc. Mrs. Nicholas' attorneys honed to create enough "reason able doubt" in the jurors' minds to bring an acquittal. Bayt and his staff contend the premeditation and intent neces sary to warrant a first-degree murder conviction are demon strated by her purchase of the gun. her carrying It loaded and with seven extra cartridges in her nurso when she went to wait for Teel, and the firing of four shots The first-degree murder charge carries either death or life im prisonment, at the recommenda tion of the jury. Judge Thomas J. Faulconcr's jury instructions said the defend ant could be convicted either of first-degree murder, second-de gree murder or manslaughter.
