By the Associnted Press. HARTFORD, Conn., March 24. Gerald Chapman, plcturesque mail robber and jail breaker, went to trial for his life in Hartford County Su- perior Court at 10:03 o'clock this morning. Chapman, manacled, was brought to court from the State's prison at Weth- ersfield, four miles from here, in a fast motor car guarded by five depu- ties. Another car filled With armed guards, trailed, and two heavily armed motor cycle officers were in the van. Chapman, charged with the murder: of Patrolman James J. Skelly in New Britain last October 12, entered court in the middle of a half dozen guards. As e seated himself in the prisoner's pen. he was still surrounded by guards. His face had a drawn, hag- gard look. As the court clerk began calling the list of potential jurors, Chapman, serious-faced and immobile, was led from the pen to a seat next his chief counsel, Frederick J. Groehl of New York. Two guards flanked him as he sat at the counsel table. Talks to His Counsel. He removed his topcoat and sat re- vealed in a suit of dark gray. He talked in low tones to Groehl as the jury was wolled, and read over a typed sheet as his chief lawyer ex- plained its contents to him. It later developed that the document the two were discussing was a chal- lenge to the array, or an objection to the manner in which the 150 talesmen had been selected as potential jurors. The poll completed, Groehl argued his challenge before the court, holding that his client considered the tales- men had been drawn too numerously from the outlying rural districts of the county, while too few had been selected in the cities. A city juror, Groehl argued, would be more likely to be open-minded on the question of the defendant’s guilt or innocence than a rural resident. Superior Judge Newell Jennings denied Groehl's motien, and selection of the jury was begun. Use Two Challenges. Throughout his counsel's argument Chapman sat at the lawyer's table, seldom lifting his eyes from the table before him. His face, gamblerlike, was expressionless, as he carefully scanned the faces of the prospective Jjurors, mostly Connecticut farmers. The first man called fell before de- | tense objections. He went out on | Groenl's peremptory challenge. Fach side has 25 peremptory challenges. Six men were quickly examined and as quickly disposed of for various rea- | sons. Most admitted they hed formed { opinions, but the sixth got the de- | fense's second peremptory challenge | when he admitted he recently had served on several juries. No juror had been chosen after an hour of exami- nation. | The State used its first peremptory | to excuse Levi P. Abbe, an Enfleld farmer, when he expressed doubt as to the efficacy of circumstantial evi- dence in @ capital case. Leon Rowley of Simsbury was dismissed on a de- | fense peremptory. PROBE PASTOR’S HISTORY. HOT SPRINGS, S. Dak., March 24.— | An investigation into the life of Rev. Robert E. Tarleton, to determine a motive for the death of the clergyman, was started by authorities today after surveying testimony which discounted any theory of suicide. Chemists at the State University found posion in the stomach of the pastor after an au- topsy failed to reveal a trace of heart disease from which it was at first be- lieved he died. The Rev.
