Sutton's Counsel Hints He'll Base Defense On Mistaken Identity Sy th« Aueclatad f ttt NEW YORK. Mar. 20.—Counsel for Willie Button, and Thomas Kling hint they will base their defense on a $64,000 question: Are they victims of mistaken Identity in the Queens bank rob* berp of two years ago? Examining prospective jurors festenJay, Defense Attorney George Washington Hers repeat edly asked: “Will you take into considera tion the nervous tension that ex isted in that situation?”—mean ing the $64,000 holdup on March 9, 1950, of a Manufacturers Trust Co. branch. “Will you consider the hazi ness, the confusion, the lighting, the distance, the angles involved?” Ten Jurors Chosen. Another defense lawyer, John F. X. Sheridan, added: “Identification is going to be very material in this case.” Ten jurors were chosen yester day out of 33 questioned. But there was no assurance that the 10 men would remain in the box. Neither the State nor the defense has used the 20 challenges each is entitled to. With the trial entering its third day. Queens County Judge Peter T. Farrell warned both sides to complete the jury selection by to day or face night sessions. The 51-year-old Sutton, often dubbed "The Actor” because of his many disguises, has little to gain in the way of freedom so far as the outcome of his trial is con cerned. Faces Life Sentence. Sutton owes long terms for es capes from New York and Penn sylvania prisons. Also, he faces a life sentence as a fourth of fender in New York State. When arrested February 18 he was ille gally carrying a gun.' The state’s star witness is ex pected to be John De Venuta. 37, arrested the same day as Kling, 45, three days after Sutton was captured. An alleged accomplice of Sut ton and Kling, De Venuta won a separate trial and possible clem ency by promising to give details of the bank robbery down to "how the loot was shared.” The murder on March 8 of Sut ton’s informer, 24-year-old Arnold Schuster, has cast an uneasy pall over the trial. The judge has stressed that Sutton and Kling legally have no connection with that crime, since they were behind bars at the time. However, references to the mur der occurred consistently during questioning Os prospective jurors. flower Arranger to Talk ’ Mrs. Robert Creighton, author ity on flower arrangements, spon sored by the Neighborhood Garden Club of Arlington, will give a lec ture and demonstration at Hecht’s Arlington auditorium at 1:30 pun. tomorrow. Ex-Mayor of Detroit Urges Obliteration Os Mural by Rivera Sy th« Associated Press DETROIT,' Mar. 20.—Former Mayor Eugene I. Van Antwerp de manded yesterday that Diego Rivera’s murals at the Detroit In stitute of Arts be “ripped out or painted over.” Mr. Van Antwerp, now a coun cilman, said he would offer a reso lution to the Detroit Council to that effect. , He said his proposal was pronsted by a report from Mex ico that Mr. Rivera’s Communist slanted painting had been ordered removed from the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. “If Mexico, which has been a hotbed of communism, finds Riv era too much to stomach," Mr. Van Antwerp said, “why should we preserve his work in Detroit? 1 * TRY THIS HEAVENLY THRIFIW TABASCO* Macaroni-Cheese 1 8-o*. pkg. moearcoi rDtps. ouTief /♦ Ttp. ary lausiara I tbsp.
