Jury Will Try Con
fessed Murderer
TACOMA, (/P>— John Edward
Summers, 33-year-old ex-convict,
went into court today to hear the
state outline its first degree mur
der case agaisnt him.
A jury of nine women and
three men, chosen in a day-long
vsession yesterday, will try Sum
mers for the shooting of Howard
Easley, 63, last summer.
Summers has admitted shoot
ing both Easley and his wife last
July 16 and defense attorney Ros
well Quinn indicated repeatedly
in questioning prospective jurors
that he would not contest his cli
ent’s guilt.
Time after time, Summers ask-!
ed if jurors would take into con
sideration that Summers’ mother
was a prostitute, practiced boot
legging and had married a Negro.
Then he added:
“Would you feel society owes
anything to a defendant so raised
—especially if the defendant
comes into court and admits in
his testimony that he is guilty of
first degree murder?”
Samuel F. B. Morse’s telegraph
line between Washington and
Baltimore was formally com
pleted on May 24, 1844.
The kings of Dahomey in west
ern Nigeria maintained units of
female troops armed with blun
derbuses and sharp knives
throughout the 19th Century.
