appearance of the trial jury room in
the Judiciary building. At least half
a-dozen layers Of dirt, made up -,f
tobacco-juice and what-not. have been
removed from the surface of the walls
and floor OF the little room on the
second floor. Just over the main po. al
of the Hall OF Justice.
As result Of the strenuous kicks
which have been registered OF late
on the part of jurymen and others
against the very unclean condition OF
the room. force was put to work In
the apartment at an early hour yes,
terday morning with brooms and
buckets of water and soap. The re-
suit is that the room is naturally a
trifie larger. having had a consider
able amount of dirt-coating removed.
There is still much TO be done in the
chamber. however, and It is said that
no time will be wasted in making the
place presentable and flt for human
occupation.
Superintendent of Public Works J.
II. Boyd will see that something is
done to make the place comfortable
and there is still much cleaning to be
done by those whose duty it is to look
after these things in the government
buildings.
Grand Jury Bailiff Emil Ney was
very proud of the trial jury room yes
terday. although 1t is a little uncer-
tain as to what he has TO do with il
besides the voluntary interest ne
seems to take in the affairs of the
building, and made it point to show
what improvements had been made
already. "a little of the dirt has been
removed" he said. "and there is still
a great deal of work to be done The
room needs coat of paint, only
don't think it would be a good idea
to put the paint on over the tobacco
stains. because tobacco juice has
way OF shining through paint. / do
not think this is very good room for
trial jury. anyway. See. the win
dows open right into the courtyard
and it would be very easy thing for
jurymen to get down by rope and
go home and go to bed and then come
back before the jury had come to any
decision The jurymen can go up into
the clock-tower. too. if they want TO-
and take the air up there. It is not
a business-like room There should be
another room for the trial jury"
