Former Guard At Bellemont Faces Murder Charges Possibility that the summoning of an additional venire of jurors will be necessary before a jury can be selected to hear the trial of Henry Singleton on charges of murder was voiced this morning by officers of the court.

Selection of the jury started this morning. At mid-day, when the panel of 32 trial jurors had been filled, only four names remained in the box. If prosecution and defense attorneys, upon questioning the 32 this afternoon, find more than four among that number who are unsuitable, an additional venire will become necessary. A jury list of 150 names originally drawn June 9 plus an additional venire 25 others more recently drawn, has been exhausted except for the 32 in the panel and the four names still in the box. When court opened this morning the defense asked for a continuance of the case on the grounds that a material witness was not available, but later withdrew the motion.

Singleton, 50, former civilian guard at Navajo Oidnance Depot near here, is charged with two counts of murder in the fatal shotgun shooting of LeRoy and Henry Blevins, cousins, at the Singleton home at Bellemont May 16, 1946. As court opened Tuesday morning, September 30, to try Single-ton on the charges, it was discovered that a fouitecnth peison was in the jury box with the 12 jurors and one alternate, a mistnal was declared, and the tiial reset for today. The fourteenth person explained that he had been requested by the bailiff to accompany the other jurors wdien they were locked in a hotel for the night following their selection the previous day. He had been on the ongmal jury panel, but had not been sworn as one of the trial juiois or an alternate. A Coconino county jury in September last year found Singleton oj second degree muider in tk death of LeRoy Blevins, and of touuislaughter in the death of Henry Blevins.

He was found not guilty of the murder of Ernest Blevins and not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon in the wounding of Oscar Blevins. Oscar was hit in the neck by a blast from Singletons shotgun but miraculously survived. Singleton's convictions wrcre appealed to the supreme court of Arizona, and in July this year that tribunal found errors in the trial and ordered Singleton retried foi the murders of LeRoy and Henry Blevins. According to evidence presented at the first trial, the Blevins went to Singletons home at Bellemont the night of May 15, 1946, connection with the presence in the house of the estranged wife of Ernest Blevins, who is now Mrs Leonaid Gore.

Funds Tangled In Bureau Row May Ask Congress To End Argument WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (AP) Congress probably will be called upon to settle a difference of opinion between the Indian office and 1 the Budget Bureau on what was intended in two appropriations for Navajo Indian schools. Replying to an inquiry fron) Senator Thomas (D-Utah) as to educational facilities on the Navajo Indian reservation, Acting Commissioner William Zimmerman said: The Indian service believes the Shiprock and Toadlena appropriations (voted this year) were made as initial allotments toward the construction of larger plants, ultimately enrolling 700 and 560 children respectively. The Budget Bureau holds otherwise.

The reservation extends over a large area in Northern Arizona and New Mexico and southeastern Utah. It has an estimated 24,000 children of school age and an average daily school attendance of so far this year. For the fiscal year ended last June 30, Congress provided for a new dormitory at Ship-rock, N. and $500,000 to replace obsolete buildings in the neighborhood of Toadlena, N. Zimmerman said.
