why Dead Mems Names Are There

Many persons have wondered why the
list of grand and petit jurors for the
United States Court contained the names
of men who have long since been dead
The popularity is easily explained. The
names of the jurors are put into the box
by two commissioners, a Democrat and
Republican, and drawn out by ballot.
The box must always. at least, contain
300 names, ard when the number gets so
low, others are put in. Some of these
may be in for twenty years, and when q
name is drawn out, whether the man is
alive or dead, it must be allowed to
