La the Tribune of last week We find the
following communication;
EDS. TRIBUNE In having my atten-
lion carea 10 an article in the Manitowoc
PIoT of July I'd, headed Circuit Court,
Inv which | am informed that the Grand
and Petit Jurors were discharged Tor IN
fnrmalit;es bv the town board of Franklin
T woula say that this IS the latter state
mept i confounded faslsehood. The list
Of Jurors FROM the town Of Franklin was
a. correct a Int as any that was returned to
the County CLERK. If our District Attor-
nep would get some legal forms, as Judge
Me Lean inrimated TO him, and not try to
cover the tracks Of Jury Packers, 1t would
be much better for him, and and the Coun~
ty too. The jury list was packed for the
express purpose Of clearing men that have
robbed the County Of Mantowoc and the
town of Franklin of thousands OF doiars.
Such are the men which the writer CT
that article in the PILOT wishes 10 screen
and leave the responsibility OF the DIS
charge Of ,Jurics upon the town board OF
Franklin which that board Will not accept,
nor will it stand By and see lures packed
for the purposc Of defeating Justice. The
w;iter Of the article in the Pn.oT goes on
20 say, that the jury list from Frauklln was
flied with inrors that were Incapable. L
will ask the writer of said article where he
got his information? IL it was from Is. >.
L9rigan. as | suppose, | must say that he
is 90 d Judge OF the qualifications OF
Jurors that should sit upon certain cases to
be tried the last terms OF court.
The iayies acre discharged on account Ct
beio0 packed Jy some person on fhe toHny
Board and not by the Board OF Franklin.
That person that is guilty of such an act
should be punished Tor doing such an lnJus
tice to the County. L. l. ,.
Which probably was written by 7. L.
Stoker, Republican chairman of the town
of Franklin.
Nov, were it not, that the destruction
of our iuries at the last term Of Court is
matter in which the people of the whole
county are interested, the PILOT would
take 10 notice Of the above article, but
we cannot, IN justice to the psople Of this
county. refrain from shakilg that article
out, as It deserves, so that the people OF
the county, aud especially the people Of the
town OF Franklin may open their eyes to
the character Of the man, who under the
cry OF stop thief has "out Caesdred
CdcSar." See how he iics. He says, that
the statement in the PHor Of July d.
that the jurors were discharged for inform
alit:cs by tie Town Boa CT Franklin is
"confounded fa,schood" and, that the list
Of Jurors from the town Of Frarklin was
correct sc. (uow will the reader please
stick pin here, and read the order 0!
the court, in this matter, published below,
and certified to be correct, by the Clerk OF
the Court, and see who ies-P. I. S. Or
the PILOT.
Again be says, ''if our District Attor
noy will get some forms, &c, now, tie
proper forms or blank return, was sent to
the togn Of Franklin by Mr. Fuesscnck,
the Clerk of the Board, in ample time to
be filed up and returned, and had the
Board OF that town, waited until the law
iuI time, for them to make their returns,
to wit May Iot, instead of botchjng cd
return on the 18th of April, their re-
turns might have been legal. As it was,
the list instead Of being "as correct list
as any that was returned, was under the
instruction of Judge Mclean, entirely
thrown aside, and the County Board in
structcd, TO draw a new jury from the re-
naming town lists, which were correct.
Again, 7. L. S aCilfa12y hes, when he s Us,
that 'the PILOT goes on to say that the
jury list from franklin, was filed with jar
ors that were incapable" The PILOT said
no such thing. But we say that there we're
on that list some of the best men in tie
county, and also, some names, that town
board ought to be ashamed of themselves
for selecting as jurors, names of men who
cannot understand single word of the
English language, and no brains to com
prehend any language. Now who done
he jury packing and where should the
responsibility of the discharge OF the jur>
orS, lay if not upon the Town Board of
Franklin, or what in the name Of common
sense, had the District Attorney to do with
it Stoker, your on ass, besides being
liar. Here is the order discharging the
jury.
