CHALLENGES ENTIRE PANEL.
Attorney Pound Questions Legality Of
New 60-DaY Jury Law.

New 6o-Day Jury Law.
Attorney James II. Pound raised an
interesting point in Judge Murf1n's
court there are four terms In each
year. while the last legislature passed
a law making the jury term GO days.
Under the act creating the circuit
court there are four term in each year,
while the last legislature passed a
law making the jury term so days.
The Jurors now serving were select
ed for the January term of court, but
they served only one month In that
term. and will serve another month
in the April term. Mr.. Pound claims
that these jurors have no right TO sit
in this term. He holds that even II
they were properly called for the
April term they could not serve. as
the law provides that man cannot
serve oftener than once year.
Judge Muffin said he would take
the matter up with the other judges.
but for the present he overruled Mr..
Pounds motion and ordered counsel
to proceed with the trial OF the suit
OF James w. Brennan, boy. against
Miss Minnie Booth. The boy was
injured when he fell from a fence
