THE CASES OF DIsREPUTABLE HOUSES -
Yesterday when the cases against persons
charged with keeping houses of ill-fame were
called in the Police Court, City Attorney
Anderson moved the Court to continue the
cases, and stated that from the experience of
the past few days il was apparent that there
could be no jury obtained from the present
venire, as fully three fourths of the Jurors had
| been examined, and had either served in some
case of this class, or had so entered into dis
| cussions with other jurors who had, that they
would b. disqualified from acting as impartial
| jurors. That in order to get jury at this
tine a sp aciai v9nire would undoubtedly have
| to be issued. That in justice to himself and
| the Court 1t would be better for all concerned
| ii an entirely rev set of jurors should be
| summoned, selected from that portion of the
| city least likely to be Influenced by any preju-
| dee CT bias on either side Of the question.
| That it was almost certain no conviction
| could be obtained by at least three. quarters
| OF tha preseut panel on account Of pre-
yious opinions formed and expressed by
the jurors, based upon the individual
notions Of what should be the law,
| without regard to what il now the law
! Counsel for defendant. Mr.. Brown, insisted
| thst the present jury was all right, and took
| occasion 30 severely criticize expressions in a
| local paper taking the lusOrs to tasi. and
charging t5em with falling to follow the Law
and the ordinance in the cases. Mr.. Hinl,-
SOD, associate counsel for. the prosecution,
urged the necessity Of oht2iring q new jury
| for the rex+ cases, ciaiEic... il substance,
that it was evidently ilnposG;bls to obtain a
| fair and impartial verdict with the present
| panel, for the reasons already given by Mr..
| Anderson. The Court continued the casss
until next Tuesday, ard ordered new venire

fails TO convict with the next pspel there
