Defense, Prosecution in
Row Over Selection
of Jurors.

    Chicago, Feb. 20 (AP).--The work of selecting a jury for the second trial of Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, alleged slayer of her daughter-in-law, Rheta Gardner Wynkoop, on an operating table, ran into stormy seas today after a morning of unruffled sailing. Two panels, the result of an extended morning session, were under bailiffs guard, while defense and prosecution sought the final four jurors.
    A final panel was tendered by the State, but none of the veniremen met the approval of the defense.
    The trial drew a "full house" for the first time this afternoon, when bailiffs turned away a few who sought seats.
    Dr. Wynekoop, the 63-year-old defendant whose ill health necesitated a mistrial last month, sat at the counsel table during the long session without showing any ill effects.
