Many Names in the Box.
The defendants demand for a new jury
list. in accordance with the amended law
of 1891. was first presented and granted
by the court. The jury box, containing
500 names, was ordered brought into court.
To Deputy Sheriff Robert Bridge fell the
duty of bringing the square box from the
county clerk office. The box was not
sealed. and had never been sealed. ac-
cording TO statements made by members
of the clerks office staff.
AS soon as the box was brought 70 the
court room Judge Powers asked that the
lawful custodian of the box be cited into
court. In the absence OF County Clerk );
L. Eldredge, jr., his chief deputy, David
A. Smith the only other man who has
key to the vault in which the box is kept,
was brought 10 the court room. Mr.. smith
was placed on the stand and testified that
the box had been locked up and the Key
in his custody continuously since the
drawing except on occasions when the box
had been opened by order of court for the
purpose OF drawing names for jurors. MI
Smith testified further that all the names
placed in the box by the jury cOmmls-
siOners at the first OF the year and not
yet drawn for jury service still remained
in the box.
"Shake II the Other Way"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Smiths testi-
mOny Deputy Sheriff Bridge pucked up
the box and gave il the customary shake
preliminary to drawing the thirty names
ordered on the special venire by Judge
Ritchie. The deputy sheriffs shake
did not satisfy Mr.. Lippman, evidently.
Shake il the other way he said.
Mr.. Bridge "shOok it the other way.
and, in obedience to Mr.. Lippman's re-
quests, 'shOok it, several other ways,
corner ways" upside down, .'catty-
corner" vertically, horizontally Oblquely,
periodically, giving il inshOots, drop
curves and all the twists" he knew.
Does counsel believe the box has been
shaken enough nOw?" inquired the court.
There was no response, and Mr.. Bridge
proceeded to draw names As he drew
each slip he laid il on the desk in front
of Deputy County Clerk William JenR-
ins, who made little pile Of tie slips. y
Use Care With the Box.
After the drawing Judge Powers insist
ed that the ballot box be scaled. Mr..
Smith took a large sheet of paper. coated
one side of it with muscilage and pasted
the sheet over the mouth Of The box.
Judge Richie and Mr.. Smith each wrote
his name twice across the spaper so that
the box could not be opened without
breaking the signatures The box was
then ordered to be placed under lock ana
key in the vault Of the county clerk OF
flee where il will remain sealed until the
conclusion of the JOneS-Tribune trial, un-
less opened by order OF court. In case
it becomes necessary to open it again, the
box will be brought into court sealed,
opened and sealed again before DtlnS I6-
turned to the vault.
