SELECTION OF JURY-oPENING By TAX DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.
Excise Commissioners Richard j. Morrison ana
Philip Merkle were indicted by the Grand jury
few months ago for misdemeanor in granting no
tel license to Byrne g. White, at No. ~ west hous-
tonst The case came to trial in the Court Oh oyer
and Terminer before Justice Daniels yesterday
The courtroom was full and much interest was
manifested in the selection of jury. which occu-
MED nearly the entire day. Ex-Judge Culver. Mr..
Whitney and other members of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime were present. William Allen
Butler appeared as counsel for the society. The
accused Commissioners were surrounded by many
of their friends. They were represented by A. j..
Dittenhoefer and John ID. Townsend. District-At-
torney Phelps represented the people.
The prosecution grew out of the efforts OF MEM
bers of the Society for the Prevention of Crime to
enforce the statute restricting the issuing OF IL
censes for the sale of liquor to be drunk on the
premises to such persons are hote-keepers within
the definition of the statnte. 1t is claimed that the
place kept by Byrne & White was not such hotei
and that the Commissioners knew that III was an
improper place to be licensed when they issued the
license The examination of the persons called as
jurymen was very close, particularly Dy the cousc
for the accused Commissioners. lney were ash i
whether they had any affiliations with or sympathy
for the Society for the Prevention OF ERNIE,
whether they were of temperate habits, whether
the fact that person place. Oh DuslhecS a.
dealer was at Mercer and Houston-sts would prc]u-
dice them against the moral character OF such
person. etc. The following panel OF jury
men was completed about, $50 o'clock; ;
Leopold S. Feischman. Cornelius L. Moore, An
drew Martin, Patricio Piatti. William Margerin,
Leopold Simons Edward ii. Belts, Abraham
Looms. Magnus Benas Horace j. Arne, Bernard
torbitt, and Philip Boyer. No one of the jurymen
is liquor-dealer and all claim to be OF temperate
habits.
District Attorney Phelps in opening the case for
the prosecution said that the charge was for the
alleged violation of most important law. II the
law was bad the best way to secure its repeal was
to enforce it rgidly. But this law. good or bad
required that license should only be gwen to the
keeper of an inn, tavern or hotel. 1he
law also required that such inn or hotel
should provide accommodations for travellers and
have at least three spare beds for their accommoda-
tlon Mr.. Phelps read from an opinion of Chief
Justice Davis as to the meaning aud spirit OF TINS
law, to show that it was not complied with by a
mere technical obedience TO its provisions: but that
the Inn should in reality be place where travellers
might find entertainment and be properly lodged
and provided for. Ii would be shown, he said, not
only that the place kept by Byrne a. White was not
such an inn. but that it resort for disorserly
and dIsreputable persons and that the Commission
ers knew its character The evidence Will be begun
this morning.

Chief Justice Davis yesterday, in the Court
OF oyer Terminer. passed sentence upon Washing
ton L. Hail. Election Inspector who convicted
two weeks ago Of making false return in the election
Of 1873 Before sentencing him 10 one year and six
months in Prison. Justice Davis said that the
OF Police empowered TO appoint the inspect
ors Of election during the months Of August and Sep
TENDER in order that such appointees might inform
themselves of the duties which the statute imposed
them "Unor unatey 1t happens in this city," contin-
ued Justice Davis that the Board OF Police, In making
these selections, be animated by nothing higher
than mere partisan motives and II we may judge from
what has occurred during the last FALL this selection
becomes mere struggle between contending factions
as TO which shall have the best opportunity 10 deraud
the Others II ia not surprising therefore, that
the persons thus selected under such circumstances,
and after a struggle Of some months IN the Board Of
Police should feel that they are at liberty TO take ad-
vantage of their Oppors unity TO carry out that
partisan spirit That seems 10 have animated the ap-
pointing power. IL would he well indeed. in my judg-
ment n Grand Jury would take cOgnizance Of the
dereliciOn of duty that oegus at the OF

duet OF the Board OF Police Commissioners themselves
