FORTY BUSY STORES ELEVEN KILLED IN FIRST NIGHT RAID 0NLOND0M German Airmen Swoop Down Upon British Capital and Spread Death and Injury. London, Sept. 5. Eleven persons were killed and sixty-two injured in last night's aerial raid. One raider is reported to have been brought down off Shcerness. it, is announced offi cially. , The first moonlight air . raid over the London district occurred about midnight last night and' resulted in the dropping of bombs, one of which fell just outside, a hospital, another smashed through a theater, and still another hit a retail store in which, a number of girls were sleeping. Notwithstanding the ' moonlight;, nothing could be seen of the raiders, although their engines could ; "be heard overhead. That they were in visible was perhaps due to a slight haze, which, however, was insufficient to obscure the moon. The raiders were constantly shelled by anti-alrf craft guns and several British ma chines took the air to attack the in vaders. ' . The streets were completely de serted at the time of the raid, it be ing long after theater hours. The few late 6treet cars that were run ning either put out their lights or stopped A message from a south eastern district says that apparently the invaders crossed the North Sea in three successive groups and that all were severely shelled both arriv ing and returning. Object to Judge In Ax Murder Case (Continued from Pag One.) Gaynor of Iowa directed me to ap pear at this court and hear this case," announced Judge Boise. The selection of a jury was taken up without delay and the first twelve men called to the jury were sent back by the judge lecause the clerk se lected the names from a list instead of drawing them from a box. The fol lowing were called and sworn by the court: Julius Read, G. L. Newberg, Sam Erickson, J. S. Mourley, Jesseph N. Larson, Carl Newton, Ed Sauseman, S. T. Woodland, T. A. Johnson, B. J. Alquist, E. R. Hazelton and N. J. Woodin. Attorney Hess, for the state, and Attorney Mitchell, for the defense, examined the jurors. The examina tion included references to an organ ization forwarded by Detective J. N. Wilkerson for raising funds t3 defend Kelly. '"The Protective Association of Iowa" is tho name and the officers are Joseph Stillinger, president; C I. Miller, secretary; Ed Peterson, treas urer; Harve Milett, member executive committee. Members of the associa tion are meeting all expenses of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. Court Rebukes Lawyer. When the examination of Mel Ed wards, a juryman who was called to replace Ed Sauseman, was begun At torney Mitchell referred to Attorney General Havner as "that handsome gentleman." Judge Boise adminis tered a stern rebuke upon Mitchell. "These facetious references must be stopped. They have no bearing on this case," the judge said. Mitchell promised to respect the wishes of the court. Ed. Sauseman, Red Oak railroad employe, was the first juror examined. He stated he had been a careful read er of several newspapers and had formed a strong opinion that Kelly is innocent and that it would require strong evidence to the contrary to change his mind. He was challenged by Hess for the state, and was ex cused from servicing. Mel Edwards was called to take Sauseman's seat in jury box. Edwards said he had no opinion and knew of no reason why he could not render a fair and impartial verdict. He was passed subject to peremptory chal lenge. The jurors are being question ed regarding their acquaintance or association with E. F. Jones and his son, Albert, of Villisca. Name Senator Jones. The elder Jones is a former state senator and now is a member of the state board of education. He was at tacked some time ago by Detective Wilkerson in connection with the Villisca murder. Jones sued Wilkerson last fall, but did not get judgment The judge cautioned all who have been drawn on the jury panel to ab stain from discussing the Kelly case. Missouri Sheriff Tells Different Story in Case (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 5. (Special.) The story told by D. O. Nelson to Secre tary of State Pool about being fined over $100 in Missouri for not having a number on his car, does not track with the one put up by Sheriff J. A. Vestal of Platte county, Missouri, who has written the following letter to Mr. Pool in answer to an inquiry! "I beg to state that'one John Q. Adams was arrested recently in thi county for driving an automobile without a license, and he was allowed to take the lowest fine our law allows $25. The costs amounted to $9.50. He gave me his check for $.4.50 on the Security State bank of Curtis, Neb., and as a kinduess and courtesy to him and the others with him, I accepted the check and allowed them to go on through. Then he stopped pay ment on the check, which has cost me $3.25 because of the protest The D. O. Nelson you speak of was with the party. They were driving three new Ford cars and had no kind of license on any of them. It was my sworn duty to arrest them; and I showed them every reasonable courtesy. The court and prosecuting attorney let them off very easy; and I took their check in good faith. I leave it to you, if they have acted fairly in the matter. If they are friends of yours, I suggest that it would be well to have them send me at once the $34.50 together with the $3.25 protest fee."
