The first five prospective jurors were excused by the court, the prosecution or the defense for one reason or another.

Judge Hyman Barshay dismissed a defense plea for a mistrial because of printed remarks made in a Sunday night speech by an investigator for the District Attorney's staff, which the defense maintained was "highly prejudicial" to their clients. Meanwhile, selection of the jury was expected by veteran court observers to be a long and tedious job. The first degree murder trial may not be over until near Christmas, it is felt in court circles. Practically all of yesterday's opening court session was devoted to lengthy qnestloning of prospective blue ribbon jurors before the lone juror was finally picked just before adjournment. He is Walter E.

Scott, 2702 Avenue an office sales manager for the Koppers Coke firm. Married, with no children, he automatically becomes foreman of the jury. Before that, the battery of defense attorneys and prosecutors used up a few of the 30 challenges allowed to each side, and some were excused by the court. Scott was the eighth prospective talesman questioned. The three defendants face death In the electric chair if: convicted.

But the customer would find his cost of using electricity about four times as much as with overhead lines. Then, too, with an underground system each customer provides his own service from the street or rear property line.
