NAY END JURY COMMISSION
Body Is Now Subject of Attack from
all Sides
Claim Made That Juries Drawn Since
1908 Are IIlegal-Suit Begun
to Wipe Out the Com
mission.

Milwaukee. April 6.-Grand and
petit juries drawn since 1908 have
not been legal. This fact was made
public when Judge Brace in the mu-
nicipal court ordered a new panel
drawn. The fact was then brought
out that all juries had been illegally
drawn for several years because the
jury commission intrusted this work
to a clerk, contrary to the law, which
intended that no one except the mem
bers of the commission shall know
who are chosen as jurors. The prac-
tice of employing a clerk to do the
clerical work which the law says must
be done by the commission grew up,
it is stated. under decision of the
late Judge Johnson.
The effect of Judge Braces ruling
on cases which have come up in the
past three years will be serious, While
persons convicted and who have paid
fines or served sentences will have no
redress, it is claimed. others may plead
j
of prosecution. This will affect nearly
100 indictments returned by grand
juries since 1908. where the persons
involved have not been tried. There
are a number of cases now ready for
trial on indictments charging grating
which, it is said, are not now worth
the paper they are written ON.
Judge Brace in his ruling, said no
reflection was made on the commits
siOners, who had been working under
wrong construction Of the law. That
construction was in error. The jury
commission consists Of Major Charles
A. Arson, Charles FL Trump and HUI
bert Schooner. Major Arson said, re-
gardng the practice of the commits
sion. there was nothing illegally done
except the employment of a clerk to
relieve the commissioners of clerical
work. Mr. Schooner confirmed this
statement and added that a bill had
been prepared for Introduction in the
legislature providing for a clerk for
the commission.
Milwaukee, April Snow that an
opening has been made the jury COM
mission is being attacked from all
sides. In addition to the allegations
that juries were illegally drawn
through the work being done by for
mer Chief Clerk of the Courts Weber
instead of the commission, an attack
is now made ON the commission itself
ON the ground that the law creating
it is unconstitutional.
W. j. Turner has commenced an
action to wipe outs the commission en-
tirely. which, should it be successful
and the contentious raised maintained,
would also wipe out not only all the
indictments returned by juries in Mil
waukee, but would affect all cases
over the state The suit is based OH
the same ground as was taken in the
attack on the school board, namely,
that the commissioners are appointed
by the judges, who are state officers.
while the law intends that they shall
be appointed by the county board. who
are officials of the county. The SUI
preme court decided for the cOnten-
ton i'm the case of the school board.
