Jury Trial Starts Monday For Sanchez BLACKFOOT- Jury trial for Margtl Sanchez Jr. on a voluntary manslaughter charge in the death ot his 18-month-old stepson Shane Furney lasl Jan. 9, Is scheduled to open In Seventh District Court Monday at 10 a.m.

Originally charged with voluntary manslaughter, Sanchez had pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of Involuntary manslaughter. In a surprise move on Nov. 25, his attorney, F. M. Blstllne of Pocatello, asked Iho court to withdraw the plea ol guilty to involuntary manslaughter and enter a plea of not guilty to voluntary manslauglt- ter, reinstating Ihe original charge, Shane Furney, 18-month-old stepson of the accused man, was brought dead to Bingham Memorial Hospital on the morning of Jan.

9, 19C8. His dealh. according to Idaho Falls pathologist Dr. Hazel McGaffey who performed an autopsy, was due lo a ruptured pancreas and Internal bleeding, caused by a severe blow or blows, She testified that in her opinion, Shane Furney was "a battered child." Sanchez said at the coroner's inquest that he had stumbled on the basement stairs, and landed with his knee on the child's abdomen, It Is expected that most of Monday will be taken with the selection a Jury. ing fund program which would call for spending in excess of $15 million.

This is not general fund money. Samuelson recommends $9.6 million in construction at various state institutions plus whatever it takes to finish the new state penitentiary. He estimated about $6.5 million for the prison work. A major portion of the $9.0 million would go for construction at institutions ol higher learning. The governor's budget calls for salary increases tor state employes in line with recommendations by the State Personnel Commission.

But, Dofenbach said, the budget allows for "a minimum number of new positions." One of the largest percentage increases proposed by the governor for an agency is for the Department ot Administrative Services which includes the Office of the Budget Director and other divisions concerned with state government housekeeping functions. Samuelson proposes the department's budget go from $2.2 million for the current biennium to nearly $7 milllonforthe coming biennium. One of the tew agencies recommended for a budget cut was the office of State Treasurer MarjorieRuth Moon. The reduc- $161,351 is also proposed by Miss Moon, who explained her last budget contained a $34,000 appropriation for new equipment. Another key feature of the new budget document is its size 308 pages compared with 72 for the last executive budget, This executive budget is the state's first "program budget," Samuelson Said.This means that spending proposals are detailed by agency and by program.

The new format, Samuelson said, will give legislators a clearer picture of "where the money was spent in the past and what programs they should finance for the future, 1 The budget document was released earlier than usual because legislatorswillbegin work earlier than usual.
