JOHN Il. HOWARTH.
1T is not fair nor Just TO Detroit
for a man like Mr.. Howarth to evade
jury duty through his honorary mem
bership In a military organization,
said Judge Phelan. I'VE have four I'M
portant murder cases on the docket
FOR this term. There are many other
cases. OF Importance, and we need
jurors OF intelligence. and position in
the community, to show that the laws
must be enforced properly. II is small
wonder that we have occasional Per-
cy Bowin verdicts' when citizens like
Mr.. Howarth evade their jury service.
