SPECIAL JURIEs AND THEIR USE.
HENRY WINTHROP GRAY THINKS THE GOV
ERNoR HAS BEEN MIsINFoRMED.

Henry Winthrop Gray, the Special Commissioner
OF Jurors, said yesterday that he thought Gov
ernor odell had been nlisinformed TO the opera
ton OF the Special Jury law in this city. or he
would not have recommended the repeal of the law.
The Governor said in his message that he in
formed that the Commissioner is seldom called
upon 10 furnish jury, and is a hindrance rather
than benefit to jury system"
81 have felt" Mr.. Gray said yesterday. that
there should be greater of the special juries
provided for In the Law. This Office has kept the
special jury lists up the required standard. and
the trouble has been that the District Attorney has
not made use OF the special juries often enough.
For the of special jury 1t is necessary to
make application 20 the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court. The application be made
either by the District Attorney by the counsel
for defendant. In where the special juries
have been used there has been great saving of time
in the selection Of juries and If special juries
were used the entire expense of this Office could be
saved twice over each year.
The Special Jury law went into effect in May
1885, and the first list of special jurors obtained
pairing special jury list involved the examination
of nearly forty thousand men who were on the list
Of the Commissioner OF Jurors. The sitting process
left 2lGO men qualified 10 act as special jurors In
there has been trouble in selecting the jury and
the 5u- y has performed its duty with prompJness
In the Neufeld case il took only three hours

and ex-Asststant District Attorney Olcott eX-
pressed satisfaction with the operation OF the Spe-
cial jury law. The last case in which special Jury
