Hard Tim s

District court had a lot Of trouble
getting jury in the murder cases yes
tsrday and the excuses were many
times laughable and always varied
One man was opposed to capital pun
ishment. He was taken the very first
one. He thought it would excuse
him, but did not know that a juror
must be opposed, not to capital pun
ishment, but to the law authorizing
such punishment. Other Jurors sum
moned profited by this little bit of in
formation of the judge and were "op-
posed to the law" when they were
called.
Another man was too deaf to hear
the evidence: Then the lawyers
would ask him something in a low
tone and answering them, he would
also be taken. Lots of men were very
sick yesterday, or had very sick fam
lilies at home, and this excuse was
worked for all it was worth.
