After the jury had been called, Judge

to give them, and several jurors offered
reasons why they should not serve. The
first was 4. st. Charles Piianaia, who
stated thai he was law clerk. He was
excused. NJ. X. Levy, J. NJ. Sims, 5. w.
Spencer, a. w. Jones and /. II. Harbot-
tie offered their excuses in turn. Spcn-
Ger was allowed to go for the Germ, and
Harbottle got an excuse Of ten days u

he was forced to serve on the jury az
he would not be able T. attend to rusi-
ness. The court gave him Hum
phreys answer. IF the business men
of the community intend to discharge
their employees because they have to
serve on juries. it is time we found il
out" said the court The excuse 10 de-
MED" The court further remarked in
reference TO the excuse Of juror Jones,
that there were 36 jurors on the panel,
and as only II would be needed ut a
time il was not likely that any Juror
would have to be in court more than a
third of the time.

was that of e. 8. Gill which was on

but the clerk put the case on the cal
endar by mistake.

sent. In the case of Kane charged
with larceny in the second degree no
appearance was made. and his bonds
