witnesses to the Jury koom--List
of Jurymen and the Cases
They viii Have to
Look Into.
The May term of common pleas court
opened at $3.50 o'clock Monday morning
Judge McCarty occupied the bench In
court room No. and Judge Taylor pre-
sided in court room No. 2. Both spent
the early part Of the morning in hear
ing motions and making entries In
cases.
At 10 o'clock Judge McCarty ordered
Bailiff Hauptfuer to call the roll Of the
grand jury. All Of the men took their
places in the jury box but two. Web
ster schlechter had died and was not
able therefore to serve. Newton Wise
is an assessor in Canton township and
he was therefore occupied and could
not serve. There were others who want
ed to get off but the court refused to
excuse them. The jury was filed by
the calling Of Theodore Weaver and
Josiah Shively, of Canton. Besides
these the jury is made UP as follows:
Monroe Mohler, Jacob Schenkle. John
Howenstine, James w. Hull, Ell Doll.
Charles Spidel, William Stone, Daniel
F. Ebie, John F. Buchanan. Ferdinand
Herbruck, Levi Sipes. Charles E. KIM
ball, Henry Sponseller.
Judge McCarty appointed Ferdinand
Herbruck as foreman and he was sworn
in. The balance Of the grand jurors
were then given the oath and the court
administered mis- charge. He reviewed
the oath, admonished them as to Sc
crecy concerning the doings Of the body
and called attention to some things they
would have to consider.
Besides the cases that have come UP
from lower courts the judge said they
might have to look into some charges
for perjury. He admonished them to
be careful on this and not indict unless
there was good case as in nearly every
law suit the fellow who gets beaten
thinks the other fellow did not tell the
truth. On the subject of false pretense
he also told the jury to be careful and to
consider that the court was not col
lection agency and not indict people
just to help someone collect bill. He
also called special attention to the
liquor laws.
The grand jury was then given the
list of cases that have been bound over
from the lower courts as follows:
Jacob Kramer, false pretense.
Leo Langanke, cutting with intent to
wound.
Robert Mclean, Evan Wallace and
John Finn, assault with intent to rob.
David Bilby, burglary and larceny.
C. B. Nye. burglary and larceny.
Harry Frost, forgery.
August Hahn, having burglar tools.
Frank Moore. grand larceny
Peter Rookie, highway robbery.
Charles Giganti, burglary and larceny.
Three misdemeanors that had been
sent up were certified to the probate
court and that court will have to deal
with them.
The grand jury then retired to the
Jury room accompanied by Prosecutor
Day. Walter Bayliss, of Massillon. has
been appointed as special bailiff to at
tend upon the grand jury during it's
slttings.
