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 tie experience of
the past few days it 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 ss impartial
jurors. That in order to get jury at this
tine sp scial vsnire would undoubtedly have
to be Issued. That in justice to himself and
the Court it 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 preiu-
dee or bias on either side Of the question.
That it was almost certain no conviction
could be obtained by at least three.qusrters
OF th3 present. panel on account Of pre-
vious 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.. Blown, insisted
that the present jury WAC all right, and took
occasion to severely criticize expressions in a
local paper taking the Jurors to task and
charging them with falling to follow the law
and the ordinance in the cases. Mr.. Hink-
SOD, associate counsel for. the prosecution,
urged the necessity of oht1iEiny new jury
for the Cex5 cases, ciain,ius. il substance,
that it was evidently inpo5sibIs to obtain
fair and impartial verdict with the present
panel, for the reasons already given by Mr..
Anderson. The Court continued the cssss
until next Tuesday, and ordered new venire
to be issued for forty jurors. Il is pretty
generally understood that il the prosecution
fails to conyict with the next psuel there
will be a cessation Of hostili:ies fo- the
present.
