After taking up half an hour in hear
ing motions for continuance in a few
cases, at IL o'clock a recess was taken
to p. m.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the Is men summoned to act as
grand Jurors were called and every man
of them was on hand to answer to his
name. They were sworn and Their
Judge Stanton gave them the customary
instructions. Hon. Gustavus R. Walker
of Bridport was appointed their fore
man and they at once retired to take w
their work for the term. 1t does not
look as though they would find much to
do outside of routine matters, as under
statutes passed in recent years the
states attorney can save the State
considerable expense by filing informa-
tons against the ordinary classes OF
offenders, instead of taking their cases
before the grand jury. There are not
over half dozen such offenders in the
county Jail awaiting the disposition Of
their cases at this term.
The petit jurors were next called,
sworn, and given the usual preliminary
instructions. Four of those summoned
were not present to answer to theil
names when called.
AS there was no case ready to bt
brought on for trial the court, at 2:3C
o'clock, took recess to 8 O'Clock Wed
nesday morning.
The first jury trial of the term wa.
started shortly after 10 o'clock Wednes
day morning, and the case was Ezra C.
