Judge Green Decides Present One "a
Ne Invalid.


Re Wall
The failure Of the election judges in
some OF the precincts at the recent gen.
eral election to return the proper num-
Der OF names to the county auditor has
invalidsted all the jury lists. This is the
ruling OF Judge Green of the district
court, who. yesterday issued an order
directing the Board Of Supervisors to
make up a new jury list from which the
grand and petit Jurors and talesmen shall
be drawn during the year 1903.
In his order Judge Green said:
1t appears 90 the court. from the re-
turn made by the auditor to the clerk.
or a petit jury cannot be obtained for,
or during the year 1909 by drawing from
S Sefs n to the re sOansS s sySd the e% tS serve offs As
jurors, by reason of the fact that the
number of names necessary by law has
parry to convene the Board of Supervisors
to prepare such lists from qualified cleo
tors for the several precincts Of the
general election of November, 1908, from
which grand and petit jurors to be used
prepare a talesman list from the quail
fled electors of Kane township, from
which to draw these talesmen for the
year 1909.
Under the order the supervisors are
AaN " COhNOhO On 1hAhcA = al
. a. m, and select ~seventy-five names
from which the grand jury shall be
drawn; 500 names from which the petit
Jurors shall be drawn and 500 talesmen
from Kane township.
The returns made to the auditor by the
election judges shows the shortage in the
lists to be as follows:
First ward. First precinct, twenty-three
talesmen; sixth ward, First precinct, six
grand jurors and thirty-eight talesmen;
Sixth ward. Second precinct, three petit
Jurors and two talesmen; Nicola township,
thirty-one petit Jurors.
Prior to a recent amendment to the
statute governing the selection of ju-
rors, and when annual elections were held
in this state, all the lists were returned
by the election boards and no provision
existed for the return Of names by the
Board of Supervisors. Under the biennial
election law such a course was impracti-
cable and the legislature of 1907 enacted
an amendment making 1t the duty of
boards of supervisors to return the lists
whenever II should be found that a law
fully constituted jury could not be OBJ
tanned by drawing from the names re-
turned by the election officers.
