Forty-eeven of the 48 members of fhe atrunk panel were called before a jury of IS waa forme a. B. Hand, of Burleigh. waa the only juror not called. Frank Q. Evans, manager of the Cap* May Court Hcuae garage, was the first juror summoned. The defense excused him after Evans emphatically declared that he would bring a first degree murder verdict without a recommendation If he thought the evidence sufficient. Justice Campbell gave the Impression that he waa more Interested in justice than In legal technicalities by the manner In which he disposed of the attorne/s' objection*. * John HuS, foreman of the jury, aa the second juror summoned. The capacity audience at the Court House was composed of almost as many ladles as men. The newspaper men tried to reserve a Uble for their use during the trial. Morgan Hand, the Court House attorney, overruled one of the reporters who was reserving a place for hie companion to take note*. When Informed that the place was occupied, Mr Hand declared thai ho waa a mem,ter of the bar and was entitled to a at the press table. One of fresh cub rep titers remarked that rould be a good Idea If he took ick seat during this particular

trial.

When Justice Csmpbell declared all Jurors not serving on the lurder Jury could be -xcused, the _aly juror to leave was John Mol ter. the Wildwood barber. Albert F. Lelb.v. who admitted he was a bookkeeper, did not prove very apt with figure* when called for Jury duty. When asked his age he stated that he was 62 or 68 as he was born In 1867. Justice Campbell made a quick calculation and Informed Lei by he waa over the 66 year limit Jen Sal resen. the Stone Harbor boat builder, waa excused from Jury duty when he declared that he was opposed to capital punish-

Tuckahoe Bank Robbers Escape Electric Chair (Continued from Page 1) __ waa forced to stand against the vault after he had noticed his wife and Mr. Tomlin lying In a pool of blood. Hera he was struck over the head with the leaded pip* three time*. In striking him the pipe glanced along the til* vault leaving three nicks In the tile. Mr. Rice stated that » v en the culprits had been brought back to the bank he Identified Anderson by saying. “We have met before, young man," and Anderson acknowledged that be had b5en

caught.

Lilburn Hess collapsed In Court and was assisted to the room behind the bench. Later be took the stand and related how he fired his shotgun from his front porch at the escaping bandits. The shot took effect, wounding Anderson. Arthur Hess stated how he followed the bandits In a motor car. Mr?. Jennie Stllle. who lives opposite the bank, described the

bandits' escape.

The other witnesses called by the State were Mrs. S. P. Addison, who saw the bandit car overturn; Walter Mason, the North Wl'.dr ood policeman, who assisted In the apprehension of the bandits; First Sergeant Da—win, of the State Police, and .Jus*Ice of the Peace John T. Byrne, who gave the trio their preliminary hearing. The admissions made at this hearing were related. Sheriff George A. Redding was the last

can called by the State.

Sheriff Redding related the action that he had taken In the affair and produced the bandits' confession, which was Introduced as evidence over Attorney Stevens' objections. Recess was declared until 9.30 Thursday morning.

Prisoners Admit Guilt

Pettit, Anderson and Laird, when called to the stand, readily admitted their guilt. Pettit was blamed tor striking all the victims and shooting Mr. Tomlin. He maintained that the revolver had

exploded accidentally. The bandits, well _

dr rased In ratty dark suits, looked more like three students than murderers. During the trial they kept their eyes fastened on the

der was either premeditated or In the course of a robbery, and he argued <f the laws fix ibe taking of bank notes as a high misdemeanor, it could not be construed as robbery. Justice Campbell overruled this when he charged the Jury, stating that the taking of bank aotes most certainly constituted a subject of robbery. Bierce;' Surprise Overruled Attorney Stevens made a plea for the youthfulneee of the offenders and caked the jury to coneider It was their first offense. He asked the Jury to acquit the boya. Proeecutor Campbell coolly tor* the defense plea to shreds. He declared that the tact that only one pe-.son did the actual striking did not relieve his companions. He declared all to be equally guilty. Proeecutor Campbell, referring to Attorney Stevens' plea that Justice did net call for three lives for one. said: "Gentlemen, sympathetic Juries in tbla State have caused more deaths than have been saved. Every time a criminal goes without proper punishment It Is an Incentive for someone else to duplicate their deed. The taking of the lives of the offenders Is essential In maintaining peace and safety in the community.” He referred to a condition that prevail* when juries are sympathetic, stating It waa the cause of organizations taking the law in their own handa and results In lynching parties and other deplorable conditions. In closing his address. Prosecutor Campbell asked for a verdict of murder In the first degree without any recommendation to- mercy. In charging the jury Justice Campbell defined the various legal phases of the case. He called attention to the fact that unless a recommendation for life Imprisonment Is made In a vei diet of murder In the first degree, the prisoners would suffer death by electro-

cution.
