Sex Emphasized m Sheppard Trial
CLEVELAND, Oct. 19 (JP) —The
defense heatedly charged today
that sex .in the person of pretty,
young Susan Hayes is the heart
of the murder case against Dr.
Samuel H. Sheppard.
“Some people consider a sex
ual crime or sex deviation even
worse than murder,” said defense
attorney William J. Corrigan in
an argoment over his examination
of prospective jurors.
However, Common Pleas Judge
Edward Blythin disagreed and
told the lawyer:
Principal Question
“Sam Sheppard murdered Mar
ilyn Sheppard, that’s the principal
question. We’re not trying anyone
for any sex offense here.”

indicated he intended the. first
sentence as an inquiry rather
than a statement of fact.
“Oh, yes we are,” replied Cor
rigan, his voice rising.
Sheppard, 30, is on trial for his
life.'He is accused of bludgeoning
to death his blonde, pregnant wife,
Marilyn, 31, after, a love affair
with Miss Hayes, 24, a technician
who formerly worked with Shep
pard in his family’s osteopathic
hosptial just outside Cleveland. -
Sheppard has pleaded innocent
to murder.
Corrigan called Miss Hayes the
“star witness in the case.” The

Groundbreaking May Be Feb. 22
For Proposed All-Faith Chapel
Ground may be broken for the construction of the pro
posed All-Faith chapel on Feb. 22, according to President
Milton S. Eisenhower.
In a speech before the faculty yesterday in Schwab
Auditorium, President Eisenhower expressed the hope that
ground could be broken for the
chapel in conjunction with the
University’s centennial birthday
party to be held Feb. 22 in the
Hetzel Union Building.
He also said the nuclear re
actor may be dedicated at the
same time.
In his speech, President Eisen
hower also said that cooperation
between students, faculty, and ad
ministration was the best of any
where in the country. He cited
this year’s student encampment
as proof of the degree of coopera
tion.
“We have a more enlightened
and more responsible group of
student leaders than ever before,”
he said.
First Plans Approved
University architects are now
working on final plans for the
chapel. Preliminary plans were
approved at last spring’s meet
ing of the Board of Trustees. Uni
versity officials have announced
that final plans for the chapel
may be given to the board for
approval “within the next few
months.”
Plans for the chapel have been
under consideration for more than
a year. Several styles of archi
tecture were considered, includ
ing modern, before the Georgian
style was finally. approved.
The chapel will be located in
Hort Woods, near Curtin Road.
Originally, the chapel was to be
built on the library side of Cur
tin Road. However the site was
changed at the June meeting of
the trustees.
Arrangement in U-shape
The chapel will be built in three
units: a small meditation chapel,
the main chapel, and a connect
ing unit between the two chapels.
The units will be arranged in a
U-shape around a large reflecting
pool.
The first unit to be constructed
is the meditation chapel, which
will provide seats for 120 people.
It will provide facilities for
private devotions, weddings, and
other small religious services.
The main chapel will provide
facilities for approximately 2000
people, with a choir loft which
will accommodate 100 people. The
meditation chapel will also have
a smaller choir loft.
The connecting unit will be a
two-story structure. The ground
floor will house the chaplain’s
office, space for clerical help, and
a social room. The second floor
will contain smaller rooms for
religious counseling.
. The original plans called for a
basement, but because of the
change in location, the basement
had to be discarded.
The defense lawyer question
ing a juror to be seated in the
case, Edmund L. Verlinger, 29, a
combat veteran and hardware
store manager:
Objectionable Questioning
“Did you ever hear of Susan
Hayes?” asked Corrigan.
“Not until just recently,” re
plied Verlinger.
“You read it in the papers?”
Corrigan continued.
“Yes,” Verlinger said.
“Suppose,” Corrigan asked, “ev
idence is produced that the de
fendant had affairs with another
woman, or women, would that
produce in you ... a feeling of
ill will towards the defendant
that would prejudice you?”
The state objected, and Judge
Blythin halted that line of ques
tioning.
