D., June 23.—(P)—A little more than 100 miles from the scene of the brutal crime with which Jama; F. Bannon, 55, is charged— that of having had a part in the mur- der of the Albert E. Haven family of six persons near Shafer, N. D., on February 10, 1930—selection of a jury for his trial proceeded with raptdity here Tuesday. Of 11 prospective jurors examined before noon, after court was convened at 10 8. m. by Judge John C. Lowe of Minot, only one man out of eight men ‘and two women said he had a preju- dice which would prevent him from being a fair and impartial juror. George Benson, of Appam, a farm- er, told the court he had prejudices which he found it difficult to set aside. He was excused on challenge by the defense. ‘The two women said they could be fair jurors. They were Mrs. Bert Sandberg, living 17 miles southwest of Crosby, and Mrs. Jennie Parsley, Soo Station agent at Colgan. Mrs. Parsley said that “for personal rea- sons” she would prefer not to sit on the jury however. Will Excuse Women During the noon hour, at a con- ference between the attorneys for the prosecution, the defense and the court, an agreement was reached that all women will be excused. It was pointed out that the trial will last for several days and Judge Lowe said it is his intention to order the jurors finally selected to remain in the custody of bailiffs at all times. Consequently it was thought best that the jury should be composed en- tirely of men. ‘The name of Charles Bannon, 22, son of the murder defendant, who (Continued on page three) PRIESTS 10 IGNORE NEW MEXICAN LAW Directed by Apostolic Delegate To Hold Mass in Secret lf Necessary Mexico City, June 23—(2)—A new law restricting priests in the state of Vera Cruz is to be ignored by the Catholic church. Archbishop Ruiz y Flores, apostolic delegate, contends the law is unconstitutional. If priests are ejected from their churches by state authorities in ac- cordance with the provisions of the measure, he said, they are authorized to hold masses in secret. The bishops will not appoint the eleven priests al- Jowed by the law and if the govern- ment appoints them the bishops will withhold their sanction. “TI believe there will be some rem- edy,” he said, “but I don’t know what it will be. When a state passes a law it is difficult for the federal govern- ment to prevent its enforcement.” Dispatches from Vera Cruz said a group of about 70 men and women staged a street manifestation against the church and went to the district court where they demanded injunc- tions concerning the law be not grant- ed to priests. They were told to sub- mit their request to civil authorities. Several hundred agrarians in Ori- zaba protested the restrictions em- ‘podied in the measure on the grounds they would be prevented from at- tending mass. Similar demonstra- tions, for and against the law, were from Gutierrez, Zamora, reported Sanafres and Tuxtle.
