STATE WILL ASK DEATH SENTENCE IN MURDER CASE Jury to Try Lemon Bradford Completed Shortly After Noon Monday STATE CASE IS STRONG That the state will ask the death penalty in the case of Lemon Bradford, negro, charged with the murder of his estranged sweetheart, was indicated Monday morning. Attorneys questioning prospective jurymen rejected those who expressed conscientious objections to infliction of the death penalty. Despite this fact, however, selection of a jury to hear the case proceeded rapidly.

Shortly after rnon the jury was completed. Taking testimony started at once. Eight Jurors Chosen The eight jurymen accepted for service Monday morning were: Aden Cottrell, Decatur township; Roy Marsh, Maroa; E. L. Bcall, Decatur township; George Johnson, 1057 Went Green street; Harry Fritz, Decalur township; Virgil Crickman, Macon; Seth Marshall, Warrensburg; and C.

M. Evey, 1230 North Pine street Seven Challenged The last four members of the jury were announced at 2:15 o'clock Monday afternoon. They arc; C. H. Leas, 1034 East Moore street; Glenn Parker, 865 West Olive street; J.

W. Rodgers. 911 West Eldorado street, and J. H. Gunter, 1059 West Macon street.

Seven who expressed conscientious objections to Infliction of a death penalty were excused Monday morning. Four were excused because they have opinions of the guilt or innocence of the defendant, and one man was excused because of defective hearing. State Has Good Cam Attorneys for the state believe they have an alibi-proof case against the defendant. One witness will testify that she saw Bradford standing at the window through which the bullet was fired which caused the death of Leeanna Bonds, Bradford's estranged sweetheart. The state has Bradford's confession that he fired the shot.

Other state witnesses will tell of Bradford's quarrel with Mrs. Bonds earlier In the evening. Testimony is expected to show that he told number of friends that night that he "shot a woman." Finish Case Quickly In view of this strong chain of evidence, defense attorneys are expected to direct their efforts toward getting their client out of his difficulty with some punishment less than death or a. life sentence to the penitentiary. The case may be completed by Tuesday afternoon, attorneys believe.

Evidence should not take more than one day, they agreed. Defense attorneys said they have not determined whether Bradford will testify In his defense. A special venire of 100 persjus has been called to report Thursday for the selection of a jury which will try the Hoard murder case.
