NEW IN THE JURY BOX.
\ CoIorcd Woman Serves Foreman
in the Trial of q Case in Denver.


in the Trial of "a Case in Denver.
y precedent was established in Hunts
court the other day which created con-
siderable Hlerriment. The first woman
juror in the history of Arapahoe county
justice courts was impanelled in the
case against Dominic Gothcr, an Italian,
who was charged with the theft of ten
cents worth of coal from a coal COM
pany. The woman juror was Mrs. Jen-
ME pierson, colored.
When the case was called the de-
tense asked for a jury, and the court
had to grant the request. Deputy
Sheriff Howard La Due saw the court
room was crowded with spectators and
experienced happy sensation, think
ing that he would have no difficulty in
securing jury out of the people pres
ent. SO six men were called inside the
railing and were subjected to a tire
some examination by the prosecution,
who entertained fears that they were
going to lie buncoed. One after another
they were excused until the six were all
disposed of, and La Due had to return
70: more. This was repeated several
times, and finally those of the spectator.
who had not been called feared that
they might be, and departed.
Things were beginning to look bad
for La Due, and he was about to take his
hat and canvass the streets for Jurors,
when his eye rested upon Jennie Pier

COUDERT Will DISPUTE.
The widow OF Charles Objects to Frederic nc
Temporary AaRinistrator

Jeanne Clarisse Coudert, the 1eyear-old
daughter Of the late Charles Coudert, moved in
the Surrogate's Court yesterday through her
guardian, Lorenzo Semple, that Frederic r.

of the estate OF her father pending the contest
over his will. The appointment OF Frederic T..
Coudert WAS opposed by the widow OF the ties.
5stor. Marie NJ. Coudert, through Lawyer John
Charles Coudert left two wills. one executed

The earlier will gave most of his property TO his

! Mr.. Semple said that, the question before the
court was whether Frederic r. Coude-t is a
proper person to take charge OF the estate. He
had been appointed executor in each will. and
that showed his brothers confidence In him, and
he was further qualified because OF his knowl-
edge OF his brothers estate. Decision was re-
served.
