OF HOW TO FILL VACANCIES ON THE GRAND
JURY.
This morning, In the Criminal Court, the cases
against John Htz and Charles E. Prentiss, for
merly OF the German American National bank
were argued on pleas OF abatement, District At.
torney Corkhill and Special Attorney r r. Perry
for the government The pleas filed are as to the
legality of the grand jury which found the In
dlctment and are converse to the pleas In the
Kellogg Brady case, argued last Saturday in
which the point was made that the grand jury was
Illegally constituted because vacancies were filled
Dy resorting to the box instead OF summoning
talesmen The government then took the ground
that drawing from the box was proper. In the
case To-day the government contends that what
the DEFENDANTS complain Of-1lling vacancies from
the box instead OF calling In talesmen-1s correct
The government also claims that unless the de-
tense can show that some damage has been done
they cannot now take advantage of any irregu-
lar1ty at this late day. District Attorney COrkhil
special Attorney Perry and MeSsrs. MuSsey and
COOK argued the case at some length.
The decision was reserved for a week.
