bad for this purpose. A special term
will be held in Roswell Friday for
this purpose. He is assisted in the
work by c. NJ. Bird, clerk of the
court.
In the past the jurors have been
chosen by three jury commissioners
who were named for each term of
court These commissioners met at
certain time before the session
and chose the exact number of men
who were to serve at that term. Now,
by the new law that has gone into
effect, jury commissioners will be
appointed by Judge Pope for one
year and they will do the work for
a whole year, all at one time. These
commissioners must be appointed in
open court, and for this reason the
special terms are being held
Revolving wheels have been provid-
ed by the Territorial government for
the selection of jurors, by the new
system. The arrangement is as fol
eligible as jurors are put in this
wheel, which is a revolving glass case
and after being well shaken up by
turning the wheel, Judge Pope, in
the presence of witnesses, draws out
names that first come to his hand.
the jury. The candidates for jurors
have been selected by the Commis-
Sioners. 1t is the work of the commits
sioners to select 800 names for the
Territorial court wheel. These serve
during the entire year. After the ju-
rors for one term have been drawn,
the remaining names are left in the
wheel for future drawings. For the
Federal court, a thousand names are
put in the Federal court wheel In
this district. these names are to be
selected as follows: From Roosevelt
county, $50; from Eddy county. 245:
from Chaves county SIS. These num-
bers are decided by the population of
the counties. The thousand candi-
dates for federal jurors must be differ

of Hagerman.
The new system has many advan-
tages and few disadvantages One
of the great advantages is that the
court always has at it's command a
jury and eligible jurymen. If for

| cannot serve, or if a special jury is
| needed, or a special venire ordered

/ merely to go to the wheel and draw

| as jurors by lot, which is as fair for
| one as for another.
