triCt Attorney Lewis stated yesterday
that he expects il to be one of the
busiest sessions a jury has ever had in
this county. For this reason no tran

put in operation the plan he recently
devised of having all cases heard in
alphabetical order, according to the
first letter of the surname of the prose-
cutor. The schedule prepared for next
