Motion to Declare Panel Illegal
is Overruled by Judge
Parker
PRESENT JURY NOT AFFECTED
judge Holds That Allegation Of In
eligibility Against Part of tho Panel,
Even if a Fact, Does Not Affect
Those Now Serving - Ruling Verbal
and Worry Brief.

Judge ]. NJ Parker. in the district
court this morning overruled the mo-
ton to declare null and void and ille-
gal the grand jury panel from which
the present jury was chosen. The
motion was filed and argued on the
allegations that the manner OF SCI
lecting the panel employed by the
board of supervisors was Illegal and
that the law prescribing the method
OF the selection was unconstitutional.
Judge Parker's ruling on the mo-
ton was verbal and very brief. In "
he ignored all the allegations made
against the panel except the one by
which 1t was charged that twenty of
the seyenty-five names of the panel
were not to be found on the poll lists.
When asked for statement con-
tanning the gist of his ruling on the
motion Judge Parker said: The mo-
ton did not affect the eligibility of the
sitting grand jury. The claim was
made that the sitting grand jury was
not eligible, because, they claimed
there were twenty members OF the
seventy FIVE OF the list who we're not
eligible; that therefore, those sum
moned for this term We're ineligible be-
cause the twenty were not. The court
believes the seven of the present jury
are elibible even tho twenty of the
list of seventy-five might not be elig-
ible. Yet as the twenty of the seventy
five were duly qualified electors of the
county the twenty were not In fact
ineligible, because they satisfied all
the requirements of the law. The law
requires that those eligible need only
be qualified electors Of the county"
In the arguments and during the
hearing Of the motion, the claim was
not set up that the seven men who
were serving on the present grand jury
were ineligible in any way. This had
much to do with influencing the judges
opinion. None of the twenty especially
in question had been chosen for this
term, and probably will not be selected
for any of the subsequent terms of
the year.

Defeat and disappointment were
dealt out in a double dose to Kennedy
and his team yesterday, when Water

place. Boyle annexed the first game by
a shut-out of to 0. The second game
he captured with apparent ease by the
score of 4 to l.
In neither game did the locals have
q chance to win, and after almost four
hours of base ball the second game was
called at the end of the eighth inning.
Both were sleepy affairs, which
dragged thru inning after inning, with
only here and there a flash of snappy,
keen base ball. While both games We're

critical, both lacked the zest and I'M

to stimulate and sustain interest.

opportunities to score by reason OF bad
plays, and Kennedy's men could not hit
the ball.
Kent was hit literally in the first
game. and his wildness in its first inn
ing furnished an opening to score which
was taken advantage of. Burns let two

penitentiary. the court announced that
the sentence would be suspended pend
ing good behavior. The defendant Is to
report monthly to the clerk of the dis
trict court. to abstain from the use or
intoxicating liquors and narcotics. and
to refrain from frequenting resorts OF
any kinds. In other words he must be-

held responsible for his care and Gus

furnished his bond for $500 for his

Officers Arc Discouraged.
The officers expressed disappoint-
ment at the manner In which Wagner
had been dealt with, altho they Of

action. The officers claim such actions

Sheriff Hutson has had in his pos
session many months information of a
most convincing nature, showing two
licensees taken of a boy sent to the
Anamosa penitentiary from Linn coun-
ty, which bear unmistakable resem-
blance to Wagner. Under the n,Nne Of
James Walsh this prisoner was sent to
Anamosa Oct. Is, 1904. and discharged
Sept, %. 1905. An officer from the
penitentiary was brought here to make
the Identification doubly positive, and
he identified Corcoran as the prisoner
Walsh. Wagner. however, denied to a
Times Republican man that he had
ever served time. but Frank Rogers, his
cellmate, tells the sheriff that the boy
had told him he had done a year at
Anamosa.
Frank p Wagner and his son left
the city over the Chicago Great West
ern Friday evening for Kansas City,
where the boy today was restored to a
loving mother who has waited and
mourned for what has been to her
countless years for her wandering
boy" of whose whereabouts she knew
nothing.

former hotel man of Kansas City, but
later has been running cigar and

A somewhat novel defendant was be-
fore Judge Parker in the district court
today In the shape of large quantity
OF liquors. the seizure recently made
at Laurel by Constable Walter Wilson,
when he raided Herman Wits place.
Lifeless as the defendant was. 1t gave
promise from everything but actual
taste Of being full of life under GER

the booze to start a small saloon.
The liquors We're given an actual
hearing, the same as any defendant in
criminal case, altho they had never
been given good chance to plea, ow-
ing to the constable's watchful eye and
appearance at such an opportune time.
Included in the order of the court
to destroy the liquors We're twenty
seven cases of beer and several bottles
of Whistles, all of the seizure. in fact,
with the exception Of such samples as
had been confiscated by County Attor-
