JURORS DISCHARGED.
During a lull in the Kenney trial,
while waiting for some documents
bearing upon the case, Mr.. Vandegrft
asked the court to discharge the Jurors
not serving in the case on trial
until a week from next "wednesday,
stating that it was important that sew
eral other bank cases be disposed OF at
this term. Counsel for these defend
ants opposed the motion, stating that
they did not care to try the cases in
midsummer. Judge Bradford was also
opposed to taking up any more bank
cases, saying that no court was obliged
to commit suicide. He finally agreed
to bring the jurors back next week,
however, without deciding whether or
not any more cases win be tried before
Fall.
