Selleck upon his return from Los Angelos, where be conferred with United States District Attorney S. McNabb on thr evidence in the case and with rofer erce to Nuckols' status as an imml ration officer at the time of tl shooting. Selleck said the opinion gained i' the conference was that state's ev dence as revealed at the coronrs in qeust does not warrant an effort tr-convict Nuckols for killing McClenney The coroner's jury voted seven to fiv that it was a cast of justifiable homi clde. having read Nuckols' sworr statement that McClenney opened fire first.
