JURORS GOULD NOT
Be INF ART|AL
SOME WOULDN'T BELIEVE A SA-
LOON MAN ON OATH; OTHERS
TOO PREJUDICED THE OTHER
WAY.

Some amusing developments oc-
Cured during the choosing of jur-
ors for the trial of the State VS.. John
G.. Fritz for the shooting of negro
at Leavenworth last month. Some
of the jury panel were too prejudiced
against saloonkeepers to be able to
give an impartial opinion, and 9TH
ers were too prejudiced the other
way.
Jacob jMcMullen objected to serv-
ing on a criminal trial and asked the
court to let him off, Mr. McMullen
is member of the Dunkards and his
prejudice against the liquor traffic
was extra strong. 1t is said that he
could not believe saloonkeeper
under oath, according to his own
statement
John Bjork Could.
John Bjork, of Leavenworth, could
easily believe anything a saloon
keeper said, so he was turned down
by the prosecution. Bjolk didn't
care whether man sold whisky or
buttermilk, just so long as he was
licensed
The impaneling a jury will prob
ably last until tomorrow. There was
quite a crowd in the court room, both
principals being well known.
