The pens and brushes of New York’s leading art circies had been drafted to provide the theme and setting which transformed the bali- room of the Hotel Astor into a re- | production of the setting, in whichx Abd-El-Kader Arab chief surrend- ered to the French in the nasis of | 8idi El Brahim in 1847. | Several thousand persons included in the “who's who!" of soctety, litera-, ture, drama and art attonded the spectacle. The huge bailroom had been transformed into a desert gar- den through which swaggered lines of French - soldiers, desert temp- tresses, Arab chiefs, sultans, sheiks, barbary pirates, slave girls and other | figures in the brilliant pageantry of | those times, | The faint voice of a muezzin rang | softly over the courtyard, opening ! the pageant. The wailing sound of | desert music suminoned the, waiting | jannounced that they did not desire fwith his collar and watched Jus- (Coutinued from First Page) sanity—and all had agreed they could give an unbiased decision in this case. It was a clever legal maneuver by the youthtul Jerome Walsh, chief defense counsel, that brought adjournment of court and possibie completion of the jury Friday. The court had been held overtime to expedite selection of the Jury. Already the defense had exhausted 16 of its peremptory challenges. Asa Keyes, the veteran prosecutor, had used only a few of his chal- lenges. Waives Right H With the twelve seated in the | jury box Keyes was asked whether ‘he had any challenges. Keyes waived the challenge right. Then the defense unexpectedly to challenge, accepted the jury and asked that it be sworn in. Keyes immediately arose to protest, He intimated he had passed the challenge only momentarily and re- amination of the jurors. The move was electric in the court room. Even Hickman, who had been became some- what interested. He rubbed his hands through his hair, fidgeted tice J. J. Trabucco intently. The judge studied the case for a few moments and then announced the court was adjourned until Mon- day. He sald arguments on wllelha!l the state could continue examina- tion would he made then. Hickman Insistent was_ a difficult day for the; outhful defendant. Early in the‘ day he argued with his attorneys AND NINE WOMEN over his appearance on the witness stand. His attorneys told him that /his appearance on the stand would interfere with their insanity plen. Hickman was insistent. He want- ed to tell the people of the murder jof little Marion Parker. The attorneys said that Hickman would not appear and there the matter remained until time for the defense to present its case. Threatened Then later Hickman received & death threat. The threat was in the form of e picture of his little vic- tim with a warning—written with typewriter in red ink—that Hick- man would be killed. “Lest you for- get” were the words on top of the picture, All this served to make Hickma: nervous throughout the session. In- stead of sitting placidly in his chair and paying no attention to the pro- lceedings, he was fidgety. He col {tinually tugged at his collar as though it chafed his neck and ran his hands through his hair. He took an interest in selection |of the 12 persons who are to de- cide whether he is to go to his ideath. Occasionally he leaned for- ward in his chair as one of his at- torneys would ask a prospective |juror a pertinent question regard- ing the case. Fretful and Nervous ‘Today he was nervous, meeming- ly fretful at the time intervening. |before courl, was to be resumed | Monday. { Should the Judge rule that the, jury had been completed it was! |likely that the state would call | Perry Parker, father of the mur- |dered girl, as the first witness. He will be asked to tell in detail of how his daughter was kidnaped, how he received ransom letters from “The Fox,” how he finally |paid $1,500 for the return of his daughter and then of the horrible 'moment when Marion's body was tossed from a motor car to within a few feet of where he was stand. ing.
