news://newsclip.ap.org/HTP10406071440@news.ap.org A federal judge on Monday postponed the first Enron Corp. criminal trial until August after lawyers informed him the proceedings will last beyond the scheduled time period.

U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein indicated that it was likely the trial, set to begin Monday with jury selection, would have been interrupted for several weeks. He didn't specify why, although he has noted he has a vacation scheduled to start July 12.

Werlein reset jury selection for Aug. 16.

The trial will determine whether two former Enron executives and four former Merrill Lynch & Co. executives conspired to help manipulate the energy company's books in 1999.
