A thirteen year-old son of Jacol
p Gutelius of Miiflinburg one evening
last week was tlogged by his mother
, for some misdemenor and sent tc
q bed. Going up stairs he called back
"good-by mother, you won't whir
{ me any more" just then the sharI
o report of n pistol was heard ant
| Mrs. Gutelius ran up stairs to fine
o that her son had attempted suicid,
by shooting himself in the forehead
with his fathers revolver. The shot
/ however, was aimed too high ant
l the ball only grqzed his forehead
and buried itself in the wall.
, AT the late term of court in Hunt
8 ingdon county, Judge Furst in ad
o dressing the Grand Jury requested
them to send to the Jury Commits
sioners the names of thirty of tn,
/ most intelligent citizens of their re
spective districts to assist them il
= filing the jury wheel hereafter
J. That idea is good one and if fol
}. lowed i'll this county might be pro
$ ductive of some good. While oul
jury Commissioners in the past hay,
I. tried most faithfully to do thei
= duty, and the jurors selected hav,
- been on the whole competent anC
, reputable, yet several times we hay,
:, noted men returned who were Meth
i, er, and whose names most likely go
. into the wheel through political in
tluence and dictation. With a lis
of intelligent citizens in each dis
trict sent to them by unbiased nm,
responsible men, they would be bet
ter prepared to select the best mel
? in each district as jurors. Usual,
S such lists are furnished by politi
y clans, who deem service as u Jury
e man fit subject to trade for politi
l. cal work and who press these list
g upon the attention of the Commits
e sioners through partisanship. Any
e thing that would tend to break up o
o neutralize their efforts cannot bu
, be productive of good. Suppose tn
experiment be tried here.
