Jury for Trial of Mrs. Patterson to Be Completed Today. 20.—Rapid prog- Denver, Col, Nov. 2 ress in the selection of a jury marked the first day of the trial of Gertrude Gibsen Patterson, charged with the murder of her husband, Charles A, Patterson, and at the close of court tonight twelve men passed for cause were in the jury box. The prospect of procuring a jury by adjournment to- morrow was declared by both sides to i be_good. Notwithstanding the state will prob- ably ask the death penalty for a woman, little opposition to capital punishment was evident among the veniremen examined today. Questions asked by the state indicated its in- tention te try to show that the killing of Patterson was premeditated and that a verdict of murder in the first degree with the death penalty will be asked. “Do you believe ihat under the law all -persons are equal, male or f and would you be willing to i the death penalty on this defendant if you found her guilty as readily as vou would on a man?” asked Special Pros- ecutor Benson of each man “Do vou believe in the law of self- defense, and do you believe a woman entiitled to its protection as well as a mam?” was one of the questions put by Attorner Hilton for the defense.

CLAIMS HE MISTOOK WIFE FOR A BURGLAR. Defense of George Golden, Trial for Murder. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 20.—An inter- esting murder case, brought here from Kittanning, Pa., on a change of venue, jopened today when George Golden of Wickboro, " Pa, a prominent and althy shoe merchant, was placed on trial charged with the murder of his wife on July 18 last. Golden averred that he shot his wife by mistake for a burglar. The statement was accepted at the time and no inquest was held. ter, however, Golden was arrested at the instance of William Semlens, a brother of the dead woman, who al- leged the shooting was wilful and de- liberate. Golden was soon releaSed on a writ of habeas corpus and then, at his own refjuest, an indictment was returned against him so that he could be tried and exonerated. Sentiment in Arm- strong county was such, it was heid, that Golden could not be fairly tried, 2nd the case was sent to Allegheny county for trial. Little trouble was experienced in getting a jury. District Attorney Lee- son outlined the case of the common- wealth and severa] witnesses were ex- ;;nined before court adjourned-for the Now on Golden is represented by six attor- neys, two of ‘them his own -brothers. Two district attorneys and two other attorneys comprise the prosecution. In bis preliminary statement to the jury Prosecutor Leeson said he intended to prove ' Golden guilty of planning the murder of his wife. He also said he would show that Golden quarreled fre- auently with his wife about property and they had words on the night of the shooting. A 'tilt between opposing counsel occurred late today during the examination of the dead woman’'s brother. ‘The prosecution tried to show a mo- tive for the alleged murder. It was al- Jeged that while acting as trustee in ‘bankruptey of a Kittanning clothing store Golden confiscated $2,500 worth of goods. His wife and her mother, it was alleged, knew of this, and Mrs. Golden said somethinz about expesing her husband four days before she was shot. Objection was made by the de- fense, and the matter went over for argument when court convenes tomor- Tow. A SUDDEN MOVE BY BZEF PACKERS LIKELY May Ask for Continuance Pending Ap- peal to Supreme Court. Chicago, Nov. 20.—Probability of a sudden move by the indicted Chicago packers to delay their trial beyond Wednesday, to which date it was postporied today by Unit&d States Dis- trict Judge Carpenter, increased to- night after a protracted consultation of counsel for the packers. Just what the action will be is not known, One possible step which has been mentioned by a man interested in the National Packing company, js for the packers to appear for trial and then to ask Judge Carpenter for a continuance on the plea taat the pack- ers wish to appeal to the United States supreme court as to the cou- stitutionality of the criminal section of the Sherman law. This, they say, would suve the time of t'e d.strict court and the expense of a trial should their contention be upheld. Fighty-three prospective jurers ap- peared before Judge Carpenter today for service. DR.
