The eighth juror is Mrs. Bea- trice Orenstein, wife of a postal clerk. Her selection made the jury roll at that point stand at four men and four women. Continuing the pattern of the first three days, defense attorneys ham- mered at the juror’s views on sex as attempts were pressed to select a panel to try Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard on a charge of beating to death his pretty wife, Marilyn, 31, last July 4e> Questioned On Stories In questioning Mrs. Orenstein, William J. Corrigan, chief defense attorney, asked: “Do you remember reading :n the-papers ... about a young lady named Susan Hayes?” Then Corrigan asked whether she had ‘read articles conéerning a connection between the pretty, auburn-haired technician and the handsome Bay Village osteopath. Again she said she had. Finally Corrigan asked whether she had read where “Susan Hayes had revealed to a Press (Cleveland Press) reporter that she had had |intimacies with Sam Sheppard.” She said she had read it. Changes Tack Corrigan dropped that line of questioning and Mrs. was seated in the jury box soon after she stated: “I have already instructed my family not to question me at all about the case.” Corrigan and Fred W. Garmone, another defense attorney, probed the sex angle repeatedly in ques- tioning prospective jurors yester- day. Miss Hayes’ name came up at one point in questioning by Gar- mone of Mrs. Louise K. Feuchter, eventually seated as a fifth juror. Garmone asked Mrs. Feuchter several’ questions about whether she had seen published pictures and stories about Miss Hayes, and for the first time was not met with objections from the prosecu- tion and Judge Edward Blythin. Intimacies Brought Up One of Garmone’s questions was: “Susan Hayes made a state- ment to a reporter during her trav- els here from California about the fact that she had been intimate with Sam Sheppard. If you read that quotation by Miss Hayes, | would that cause you to become prejudiced?” Mrs. Feuchter replied, ‘‘No.” Later, Corrigan tried the same line of questioning with another prospective juror and was halted by the judge. Corrigan was outraged. He |whirled to face the judge and shouted at the top of his voice: “I know they’re going to bring Susan Hayes into this courtroom. I | know what evidence they have. I know how Susan Hayes has been blasted in the papers.” PLANE TO PROBE SUSPICIOUS AREA MIAMI W—A Navy Hurricane Hunter plane took off from Jack- | sonville at 8 a.m. today to investi- | gate.a weather disturbance in the Central Caribbean Sea 600 miles south of Miami.

New Trial To Be Sought In S.L. Right-Of-Way A motion for a new trial will be filed in the state-county suit to move buildings on Stock Island to make way for the four-laning of U. S. 1, Paul Sawyer, county legal adviser, said today. The second trial of the suit in Cireuit Court ended late yesterday afternoon when the six-man jury found for the defendants. Last July, the first trial ended when the jury could not agree. The state and county contend that five property owners and leasees have buildings in the right- of-way of U.S. 1. The state proposes to four-lane the highway from Key West to Boca Chica and says the buildings must be moved. The defendants were Alton G. Parks, Lawrence Dion, The Sin- clair Refining Co., Adolfo Boza, and Charles L. Moody. Judge Agquilino Lopez, Jr., or-| Chancellor-Foreign Minister Konrad Aden#ter- The four statesmen put the finishing touches on a series of lengthy, detailed documents which are to re- place the 2-year-old treaty of Bonn, never completely ratified. These documents set forth the conditions under which the West Germans will recover sovereignty after almost a decade of occupa- tion. Saturday Signing The documents, along with a se- ries of annexes covering West Germany’s future relations with the West and the status of Allied armed forces in West Germany, are to be signed in a formal session Treaties embodying these steps are to be signed Saturday also, pending successful conclusion of additional talks to be held here. The three Western tained a few strings on West man sovereignty to enable them negotiate with the Soviet Union German reunification and on peace treaty fora reunited Ger- many. Rights In Emergency They also kept the right to re- sume the occupation in case of emergency and power to cope with the special. situation in Berlin, Following this brief session West German Chancellor Konrad Aden- po and U.S. Secretary of State les, British Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden and French Premier-Foreign. Minister Pierre Mendes-France went into session with ministers representing Bel- gium, the Netherlands, Luxme- bourg, Italy and Canada to study the projected “Western European Union.” This union, embracing a revised and reinforced Brussels alliance and grouping Britain, Franee, the Benelux countries, West Germany and Italy, is designed as a frame- work for West German rearma- ment within the NATO structure. Canada and the United States are in the role of guarantor nations. Rearmament Control The parley was measures to supervise and control» German rearmament under such a pact. West German and other sources predicted quick agreement before nightfall. The French-German dispute on the Saar appeared the only major hurdle in the tight ministerial schedule. Mendes-France has said he will not ask the French Assembly to ratify any agreement on German rearmament unless he is satisfied on the Saar issue by the end of this week. Between conferences with Allied ministers, Adenauer was conduct- ing delicate negotiations with lead- ers of other parties of his coalition cabinet n an effort to wn wide backing for any eventual agree- ment with the French on the Saar. He also was awaiting the arrival of opposition leaders from to see if a German “bipartisan” pol- icy could be worked out for a large-scale economic and commer- cial agreement with France.
