HOOK MAKES A RULE.
Names of Grand Jurors Won't Be Made
Public

Judge w. c. Hook has announced a
new rule to govern the announcements
of the drawing of the grand jury. In
the future the names of the jurors who
are drawn to serve at any term of the
jury will not be made public until the
day they meet and are in session.
Heretofore the names of the jurors
have been announced at the time they
were drawn. The objection to this
method is that it allows unprincipled
lawyers an opportunity of trying to
bride the jurors and of trying to preju-
dice them one way or the other in
drawing indictments.
The grand jury will meet in Topeka
on April IA. The new rule will be in
effect in the drawing of this jury.
The most important case to be pre-
scented to the grand jury at this ses-
sion is the case of j. McNinch, who was
arrested at Willard for using the
United States mail to forward indecent
pictures
