The fifteen men named above are
those drawn on the panel for the grand
jury which has been called to investi-
gate the allegations that there exists
in Salt Lake Illegal combinations
among wholesale and retail merchants
for the fixing and maintenance OF
prices and in restraint of trade.
Under the law seven Of the above If
/ teen men may be chosen 10 coupose
the grand jury. There is every prob
ability, however. that a new panel of
1 jurors will be drawn before the per
tezfny 81 Of 1 h. 4
this term Of court
/ While the law does not forbid CITY
and county employees serving on grant
| Jurfes, attorneys assert that IL is not
customary for them to serve. Neither
is it customary for any person who has
| been an inmate of a city, county or
state institution to be called upon to
! serve. One of those drawn has been
an inmate of an insane asylum.
While the, state officials would say
nothing on the subject last night. il
has been learned on good authority
that hope Of securing seven OF the If
/ teen men drawn yesterday who will be
/ legally qualified to serve is very slim.
/ The selection of the seven men is
to be made by the district court and
| done by process of elimination
Some of those on the panel will have
valid excuses, others can be CHALLENGED
arbitrarily excused by the court
/ There are twelve different OCcupa-
/ tons represented in the fifteen names
drawn on the jury list, including farm
ers, mining men, saloon men, a grocer,
a Murray alderman, a bookkeeper,
stOckman, contractor, transit man and
| a clerk.
Hickman Member of B. & G.
/ The grocer is William ! Hickman
whose store is at 100 T street. He is
member of the Butchers & Grocers'
| association of Salt Lake and is in good
/ standing. Mrs. Hickman made this
assertion yesterday afternoon, stating
/ that MIR. Hickman is at present in Pro-
vO. Secretary Lorenzo Jensen of the
| Butchers & Grocers' association sub
stantiated Mrs. Heckman's statement
as to her husbands membership in the
/ Butchers & GrOcers', and added: I
/ suppose, of course, that his member
/ ship with us will absolutely disqualify
| him as a grand juror"
