Sheppard Case Jury Still Stumbling Block
Cleveland, Ohio—(U.P.)—The third day of the Samuel H. Sheppard wife-slaying trial got underway 15 minutes late today, but proceeded directly to the selection of a jury.
Defense attorneys were expected to renew their fight to determine if the "other women" in Dr. Sheppard's life would prejudice a jury's decision whether he murdered his wife.
Defense attorneys opened activities the first two days with demands for postponement. Both times they were turned down.

"That is the main question in this case," Chief Defense Attorney William J. Corrigan argued yesterday, "We know on the subject of sex some people have very strong opinions."
Common Pleas Judge Edward Blyth disagreed. "That is not the main issue," he said. "The main question in this case is who murdered Marilyn Sheppard."
Mr. Corrigan indicated after the trial he would pursue the subject further today.
"That's the heart of the state's case," he said. "They will try to picture Sam Sheppard as an unfaithful husband. If a juror has strong feelings about such things, it is not a fair jury."
As the trial went into its third day, the original 75-member venire had been whittled to 55 names, with only three jurors tentatively seated.
Dr. Sheppard is accused of beating his pregnant wife to death at their Lakeside home in suburban Bav Village last July 4.
Mr. Corrigan's clash with Judge Blyth occurred yesterday. Although the subject of unfaithful husbands arose previously, it was the first time the lawyer specifically mentioned Miss Susan Hayes, who has been portrayed as the "other woman" in Dr. Sheppard's life. He has admitted intimacy with her.
