Supervisors to Be Instructed to
Select New Panel of Grand
j
and Petit Juries
SPECIAL GRAND JURY SESSION
Judge Bradshaw Will Issue Order Be-
fore the Week is Ended and Super
visors Will Select Jurors at Once
New Grand Jury to Meet Before
Term Of Court is Ended.

An entirely new panel of seventy five
grand jurors, and a new list OF petit
Jurors will be selected soon by the
board OF supervisors to take the place
of the panels selected last fall by the
election officials of the precincts oil
the county Judge G. B. Bradshaw
will issue an order soon directing the
supervisors to proceed with the Sc
lection. Judge Bradshaw said this
morning that he hoped to be able TO
issue the order before the week was
ended, and that an effort would be
made to have the new grand jury go
into special session before the present
term OF court was over.
From the grand jury panel members OF
the jury. which will serve at the spe-
cial session, will be drawn in the usual
manner. The panel will be selected
from the records OF the voting pre-
cincts the number of Jurors will be
apportioned to each precinct. the same
as when they were drawn last fall.
1t has not been the intention of
Judge Bradshaw, because of the II
legality of the past panel, that those
who were indicted by it should so free
in any respect aside from insofar as
the grand jury which indicted them
were concerned. To investigate these
cases will doubtless be the principal
business of the new grand jury.
Three to Be fried.
There viii be three criminal cases,
indictments in which We're returned BY
the recent grand jury, which will come
to trial. These are the cases of the me-
gro, George Perkins, charged with OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses;
George Hughes and Joe Gleason, in
dicted for burglary of the Clifford 'sa-
loon.
Perkins attorney waived any objec-
tions to the grand jury which indicted
Perkins, and his case was begun this
morning. The motion to quash the in
dictments because of the dllegality Of
the grand jury in the cases Of Hughes
and Gleason was overruled by Judge
Bradshaw this morning. Their trials
will follow closely after Perkins. The
overruling of this motion was due to
Hughes and Gleason having been held
to the grand jury from preliminary
hearing. w. H. Wulke, Jr., was held to
trial by the grand jury without a pre-
liminary examination binding him to It,.
Henderson and Bethke Discharged.
Curly" Henderson, the negro who
was indicted last fall, and Miss E. l..
Bethke. indicted a few weeks ago, were
discharged this morning. Henderson
was held for selling and running a
Great Western locomotive. He was
tried last winter and the jury disagreed,
and he has been confined in the county
Jail for nine months. On the motion of
County Attorney Egermayer Judge
Bradshaw ordered Henderson dis
charged. The reasons given in the
motion were that Henderson had all
ready served a long time, and that the
states principal witness had left the
county.
Miss Bethke, who was indicted for
practicing medicine and surgery
without a state certificate, has signed
a. stipulation not to practice surgery,
obstetrics or osteopathy within the
state, and not to hold or advertise her
self as a practitioner.
On this agreement Miss Bethke was
discharged and her bondsmen released.
County Attorney Egermayer is author
ity for, the statement that this stipu-
lation was satisfactory to the county
medical association, which was the
principal complainant
Only One AZ Yet Released.
The motion to quash the indictment
returned against W. H. wulke, Jr,
is the only one in the several cases in
which a similar motion was filed that
has, as yet, been sustained. Wulke
was discharged and his bondsman re-
leased, but altho the motion was filed
in number of other cases, it has not
been presented to Judge Bradshaw
The supposition is that the discharge
Of the others will be merely formal
matter, and the motion in those cases
will probably be sustained when
brought up.
