From the second jury list, 11 reported for duty, and from the third, 14 reported.

Some of those jurors were asked to serve in another jury trial at the courthouse, however, Mrs. Basler pointed out. The three defense attorneys, Williamson County State's Attorney Charles R. Garnati and Circuit Judge Snyder Howell agreed to take a break today, their first since proceedings in the trial began May 5. The proceedings have been slowed by frequest breaks to argue motions and by the sheer amount of time it takes four attorneys to question one juror.

The first 3 Vz days of the proceedings were consumed by arguments over motions introduced by defense attorneys Raymond Lawler, Bruce Stewart and Jeffrey Weiss. They included moves to have Howell removed from the case, to have Garnati punished for allegedly providing certain information late and to have the trials of the three accused men held separately. All were denied except to exclude certain evidence, none of which Garnati said he expected would harm his case. The three men on trial Phillip Helton, 30, of Springfield, Stanley Ash, 37, of Marion, and Bennett Dale "Benjy" Brown, 28, of West Frankfort are each charged with two counts of armed robbery, one of home invasion and one of unlawful restraint. A fourth man Robert D.

Phelps, 28, West Frankfort, pleaded guilty Jan. 29 to the two armed robbery charges and was sentenced to the Vienna Correctional Center for four years.

533.80 532.50 1.30 By Cathy A. Monroe Of The Southern Illinoisan With all but two alternates chosen, jury selection is to go into its seventh day Monday in the trial of three men accused of armed robbery and home invasion at a Carterville home. Over the past two weeks, 59 potential jurors from three separate jury lists have been questioned, and jury commission secretary Flodene Hen-son was preparing today to draw as many as 50 or 60 new names for the fourth jury list. The cost to the county to date of selecting a jury in the trial cannot be determined exactly, according to Circuit Clerk Marie Basler. But the very least possible is $650, and more likely about three times that much.

The first group of 40 jurors reported for duty May 5, 6 and 7, but questioning did not begin until May 8.
