GRAND AND
PETIT JURORS
Drawn for United
States District
Court.
ONE JUROR NOT
AMONG THE LIVING
Lesser Jury May Have to Fix the
Value Of Pearl Harbor
Lands.

Grand and petit jurors for the October
term of the United States Court were
drawn yesterday afternoon by order of
Judge Estee. Twenty three grand jur-
ors were named and twenty-four trial
jurors, Clerk Mailing drawing each
name from large number of prepared
slips. The jurors are ordered to report
day in October.
There are at least half a dozen men
on the Federal juries who are now serv-
ing on the panel in Circuit Court, and
they will just about conclude their
labors before Judge Gear when called
upon by Judge Estee for service Among
the number drawn was the name of
Marcus Colburn whom the Marshal
stated was dead. He was not certain
but what there might be a son living
of the same name. and the court al
lowed the name to remain on the grand
jury panel, holding that if the man is
dead this fact should be proven when
his name is called at the opening of
court.
One of the other jurors was reported
as being in San Francisco but the court
allowed this name to remain upon the
panel also, stating that the proper
time for these matters to be shown was
when the jury is called. Half dozen
of the men are said to be in the States.
| The Federal jurieS are drawn by chance
| from names which have been written
on separate slips of paper The draw
| ing was made in open court by the
clerk of the court, and in the presence
| of Judge Estee and the United States
District Attorney.
| The petit jury drawn yesterday is of
more than usual Importance because of
the fact that it may possibly be called
upon to fix the value of the land taken
| by the United States for the use of the
| Pearl Harbor naval station. If Judge
Estee should allow the condemnation
| cases to go to jury, these men drawn
| yesterday may anticipate a service Of
several months duration.
The grand jury, so far as has de-
veloped, will have very little work to do
at the coming session of court. The
seamen who have been committed for
offenses upon the high seas, have in
most cases pleaded guilty and served
out their sentences, and there are but
one or two of the long list of offenders
still to be tried.
The following are the names as drawn
yesterday:
