George Bright, the first of four men indicted on charges of having bombed a Jewish temple here last October 12, went on trial today for a second time. The first proceedings, last December, ended in a mistrial when the jury failed to agree on a verdict.

The defense and prosecution spent today trying to pick a jury. Bright has new defense attorneys, the last attorneys having refused to continue with the case.
